That is impressive to be honest. Reduced our price - AU Shipping, that account is from Hong Kong
Make only a $- hard to beat direct like that, thanks for pointing it out.
Cheers for listening and reducing. I don't personally need a scale as I bought a smaller version for around $10 but I know ozbargainers are a tough bunch.
Hmmz, I agree some of us are a tough bunch.
But when a seller inflates their item's base RRP then has it up for sale masquerading as a huge discount. That I think,deserves to be called out.
And even after his "discount", this item still doubles the delivered cost elsewhere.
This is a generic coffee scale with various rebranded names.
Its cheaper elsewhere.
For some reason Ozb does not allow me to post website links in comments.
But Type "coffee scales" in ebay and sort by lowest price.
Around the 5th result you should find the same item selling for around $20 delivered including gst.
Don't fall for alternative brewing's usual sales crap.
We didnt realise it was so common and reduced price to try compete sorry.
they would only be making a $4-5 at that price max
Nah, I really do not believe your words when you "didnt realise" what you were selling was a generic coffee scale.
Agreed - I've seen this model/design on ebay many times around the $25 mark. What I'm more interested to know is how the Hario scale compares. Have been eyeing that off for a while. Does the extra spend give you more features, or purely paying for the Hario name and appealing design?
Unless you're using this at a high volume cafe, the generic ones from ebay that measure to 0.1g will suffice.
Built in timer is a plus, but will cost a little more. I've known pro baristas that just use a generic kitchen timer to time shot.
No need to spend lots on a branded scale, better to funnel that excess towards a better grinder, imo.
I think some of the differences between cheaper scales and the more expensive ones are:
- build quality
- responsiveness (how quick it registers changes)
- accuracy (note this is different to resolution, could be 0.1g resolution but accurate to +/-1g)
- other features e.g Bluetooth, water resistance, timer
I've got a cheap 0.1g $10 scales from eBay, used the Hario ones before, but use my Acaia scales most of the time.
This is just generic right? Can't find anything on the "Ten Mile" brand.
I’ve got a version of this scale that i bought via Amazon AU for $29.95 a few months back.
Overall it works ok. What I don’t like about it is that it takes a few seconds to register changes. When adding coffee beans to measure out a shot there’s a 2 second delay for it to show the new weight. Doesn’t sound like much but it slows down my workflow.
Other than that I have no complaints. I don’t use the timer function as my espresso machine has a built in timer display when I start pulling a shot.
OP, I'm sorry you have such combative and disrespectful commenters. It's one thing to point out a better deal, it's another to be rude and insulting.
This is ozbargain after all….and Nivlac has a point. Perhaps they may not know competitor's pricing however selling a generic product as a branded product is somewhat misleading…
Hi OP, does this come with the rubber mat as displayed in the photos?
How do generic coffee scales differ from generic kitchen scales?
e.g. https://www.kmart.com.au/product/digital-kitchen-scale/16180…
(I've found those cr2032 coin cells in similar scales to need frequent replacing, so AAA is good)
I think generic coffee scales can measure 0.1gm amounts whereas the generic kitchen scales usually just do 1.0gm amounts?
eg/ Kitchen scales will show you the same '8gm' reading whether you're at 8.0gms or 8.9gms
Yes, 1g is normal.
I also have smaller 0.1g scales, but that's getting a bit ridiculous for making coffee. Are you measuring pure caffeine powder!?
In fact, once you are used to your equipment, why do you still need scales at all?
I know how to eyeball 7g or 10g now.
In a commercial setting (cafes serving speciality coffee at least), I think 0.1g resolution is a must, especially for calibration. It's all about maintaining consistency and repeatability, regardless of the barista.
Depending on their level of QC and the volume of coffee they sell, they may weigh every dose and beverage weight. I know where I've worked previously that even during busy periods we still needed to weigh the ground coffee to +/-0.2g of the calibrated dosage for the day.
In a home setting though, 1g resolution, or even no scales at all (and going by sight/feel or using the scraping tool if you got a Breville) may be fine if you can't see the benefit (taste) for the effort required.
Coffee scales also include a timer once you press start. This helps people accurately make espresso to the 25-30 second mark, or whatever they prefer.
I have this scale, purchased from ebay about a year ago. Works great. Can rest the entire portafilter on the scale (just). It has one bug though - when you start the timer it immediately ticks over from 0 seconds to 1 second and then counts from there. So essentially the first second is missed, and the timer is one second out. Not a big deal for coffee use, but if you want accuracy (or have OCD) it might annoy you … unless they've fixed it in later manufacturing runs.
What's the bargain? First page on ebay, can find what looks to be an identical scale for $23.35 without looking too hard.
