Smart Scale II

Works great. My only complaint is that the buttons are small and the “time” button is awkward to reach. The first scale I received didn’t work properly, at least not for me; I couldn’t get a consistent tare weight when weighing my portafilter. Clive promptly replaced it with the one I have now.

This little guy aids in measuring grams in and out, as well as in measuring shot weights. Very versatile.

Pros: Small. Accurate. Easy-to-use. Lots of different weighing, timing, and auto-tare modes you can use to customize your workflow. Internal, chargeable battery is a nice; no more hunting for batteries. I've started using it elsewhere in the kitchen for small weighing tasks. Price is very good for such a full-featured scale.

Cons: Display is a little small and can be hard to read at an angle. Not a fan of the amber colored backlight. The silicone pad has a tendency to move around a bit as you work, which can cause problems. Aesthetics could be better.

Couldn't bring myself to spend $200+ on a scale, and I picked this one up from Clive. Yes, you're sacrificing some fancy features of the Acaia, but you're also saving $150+.

This scale works great - when I started, I figured I'd be dialing in every few shots, and then doing most of my shots without a scale/timer. But, I've become addicted, and essentially use this scale on every shot I make.

Things I like:

* Simple and Easy to Use.
* Rechargeable (I've had the scale for a bit over a month, using it for ~6 shots/day, and haven't had to recharge it yet)
* Easy to clean.

Minor things I don't like:
* The rubber mat doesn't "click" in place very well, and frequently comes unseated from the platform.
* The buttons can be a bit tricky to press, particularly when the rubber mat is restricting your access to the "Time" button, and the angle makes it difficult.
* The grooves and texture of the rubber mat make it difficult to wipe clean, and it needs to be rinsed in a sink.

Overall, I'm happy with the scale, and would buy it again.

Love having this scale. Amazing difference in quality of my shots!

Only possible improvements for me would be
Switch the power and time button placement
Thinner would work better with my machine
