What scales do you use?

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.

TIMEMORE Black Mirror Basic Plus They are "fine" for the clever dripper coffee I make.

You... weigh your coffee?

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.

Wow, and here I am using the same size cup and scoop every time like a rube ;)
