I managed to break my scales over the weekend. So was wondering if anyone has any recommendations for a good budget set

    Greater Goods makes good scales at a solid price. I’m going on 3+ years with their basic one.

    The rhino coffee scales are a great all rounder they fit under the espresso head and they are good enough for a pour over.

    The biggest drawback is they’re not the biggest, but they’re cost effective.

      Yes. Weighing the beans helps a LOT with consistency. Trying to measure them by eye can have you off by more than a third sometimes.

      And weighing the water is convenient and easy if you’re already weighing beans.
