☕ Brewista Smart Scale II: The Ultimate Brewing Companion for Perfect Coffee and Espresso at Home - USB Battery, 70 oz / 200 g Capacity, 6 Modes Review

The HARIO V60 drop scale broke after only six months. The power button is a touch sensor and no longer responds at all. Touch sensors often don't work properly if something doesn't fit. So I switched to this button model. As long as it works well. The case is also relatively small, making it easy to carry around.

Bought to replace the $15 jewelry scale I used for espresso... and it's worse! Yes, the screen has a higher refresh rate and a rechargeable battery, but other than that, the buttons are very hard to press (not like a $90 watch face), the modes are finicky (timers don't always run, for example). when they should) and sometimes the weight will change depending on where on the scale you place the cup. I was hoping this scale would offer functionality at a fraction of the cost of Acaia, but you'll…

My first impression was that this is a decent quality scale. They react quickly enough to changes in weight, and the screen backlight when switched on is also a plus. I bought it in December 2019.

The warranty expired a few months ago. I tried contacting the manufacturer but the phones listed in the…

When used to measure power, it's very good at tracking the weight of the espresso that's poured into the cup. It's a bit bulky, especially with the rubber guard mounted. Even with my bottomless portafilter, I…

This is a tricky review, on the one hand it has some advantages over what I used before, on the other hand it doesn't do much better to justify the $60 higher price point in my eyes. To be as honest as possible I am breaking this review down into what I like, what I don't like and what I use this scale for specifically for my needs just in case it doesn't suit mine but you might fit. . .Like: - I like that it's rechargeable. A tiny little feature that is so very handy. I don't like having…
