Which one did you go for?\r\n\r\nRegarding volumetric vs weight (ie. looking for 60ml or 46g of output liquid). My preference is to work only with weight. However, my [KitchenTour](https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B083PX1VHG/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8\u0026amp;psc=1) scale was being naughty (jumping around a bit) when I started dialing in so I simplified it to just look for 60ml of liquid.\r\n\r\nMy espresso machine doesn't have a shot timer so I'm using my phone, thus I have to keep darting my eyes between the machine-and-shot and the phone (off to the side). There is a timer on the scale but I'm finding that the stupid capacitive buttons on it can take a few presses to trigger - plus the weight would jump from 0.0 to 2.4 to 10.5 to 14.1 ... and you need to anticipate anywhere from 8 to 10grams ahead. That is, if you use 18g in and you want 36g out then you need to stop the shot at about 28g readout on the scale - the machine will still drip another 8g into your cup.\r\n\r\nI found all of this too complicated with my first day with the new setup. I took a glass cup (wide enough to catch the coffee from the double portafilter) and I drew a sharpee line where I had measured 60ml. That was \"good enough\" to start with. Then pulling a shot was i) setup timer on phone; ii) lift lever to pull shot; iii) watch for 60mls in \\~25 seconds; then redial grinder to hone in on proper grind and try again.\r\n\r\nDunno how much I like this scale or if another is less jumpy and easier to use. I'd love to get a scale where its timer automatically starts with the first drop of liquid.","subreddit_name":"espresso","author":"rbpx"},{"body":"Purchased the [KitchenTour coffee scale](https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B083PX1VHG/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apap_Lvgh3MDJYkCr1) from Amazon three months ago. There's an integrated timer, that you have to start whenever you want to use it. So far, I've changed the batteries once, and used the scale daily. Yes the Acai scale is great but I wasn't ready to pay that premium. I believe this one was around 30$ CAD. It's not particularly tiny but doing the job as far as weighting beans, placing the portafilter onto it and weighting shots. Good luck in your search!","subreddit_name":"espresso","author":"crap_dude"},{"body":"I recommend DEFINITELY getting a scale! 😉 0.1g accuracy is plenty sufficient.

It fit fine under my Infuser (sitting sideways), although it was definitely tight with the stock portafilter and definitely didn't work with anything bigger than a 3oz cup.","subreddit_name":"espresso","author":"dadudster"},{"body":"I have 2 coffee scales, a Hario and a cheap scale off Aliexpress.\r\n\r\nThe scale off Ali express is sold under different names, but here it is off Amazon: [link](https://www.amazon.com/KitchenTour-Precision-Espresso-Back-Lit-Batteries/dp/B083PX1VHG/ref=mp_s_a_1_1_sspa?dchild=1\u0026amp;keywords=coffee+scale\u0026amp;qid=1606931201\u0026amp;sr=8-1-spons\u0026amp;psc=1\u0026amp;spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUFXWVozQlROVjI1RDMmZW5jcnlwdGVkSWQ9QTA3OTg2MzgyTUFaTkpRTkYxUUk3JmVuY3J5cHRlZEFkSWQ9QTA5NTE2OTkyVEpYSUdOVlpEMEdQJndpZGdldE5hbWU9c3BfcGhvbmVfc2VhcmNoX2F0ZiZhY3Rpb249Y2xpY2tSZWRpcmVjdCZkb05vdExvZ0NsaWNrPXRydWU=)\r\n\r\nThe Hario scale isn't good in comparison imo, despite being more expensive and from a well known brand.\r\n\r\nThe display is harder to read - actually to a point where it's annoying, and it updates very slowly too.\r\n\r\nThe cheap scale is faster (not fast, just faster) and the display is with very big lit letters so it's very easy to read. It seems quite accurate too. Only downside is the buttons, they dont have any sort of feedback to your touch, which is a bit annoying when using the timer.\r\n\r\nThe acaia is supposedly excellent, and i have heard good things about the Timemore too. Personally i wouldn't recommend the Hario.","subreddit_name":"Coffee","author":"TheDude453453"},{"body":"Many reviews [on amazon](https://www.amazon.com/KitchenTour-Precision-Espresso-Back-Lit-Batteries/dp/B083PX1VHG/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2A5A4ZLOIFNRV\u0026amp;dchild=1\u0026amp;keywords=cafede+kona+scale\u0026amp;qid=1605592471\u0026amp;sprefix=cafede+kona%2Caps%2C448\u0026amp;sr=8-1).
