Kitchen Scale; 5Kg/11lb., Meritline
« on: January 08, 2011, 10:02:38 AM »
http://xrl.in/6z2f $9.99, free shipping.

I have one of these, not from Meritline tho'.  I have several purchases from Meritline, all of them good, but shipping is slow (I believe they ship from China).

Uses 3 AAA's, weighs in 1g increments.

Good price! Too bad it weighs in 1.0 gram increments; those that weigh their coffee before grinding for espresso want 0.1 gram increments.

I don't think you'd want to pay for a 5Kg scale that will do 0.1g increments.  $$$  :P 

And I don't think you'd need your espresso scale to weigh 5Kg.  Of course you are in Texas, and a Texas-sized double might come close to that.   :D

What do you have for weighing espesso grinds Tex?  Some sort of pocket scale?

Life is too short to drink bad wine (or bad coffee!)

I never weigh my shots - I trust my technique. But Susan has convinced hundreds of folks to do just that.

It's broken in my chrome too.

Also fails in FF for me.
