Totally Dependent on Gram Scale which just failed

So fines are like, bad and stuff?

Nope, just a fact of life.

I think so, I hate paying fines... doesn't matter what I did to deserve the fine, but I hate paying them.

Fines are bad. They make me sad. When I don't get them I am glad.

Fines are bad. They make me sad. When I don't get them I am glad.

Fines are just not fun
They steal joy in an instant
Just say no to fines

If removing all those fines
makes your brew much kinder
maybe swap those burrs. (or get a better grinder!)

Somewhere when 11.8 grams is wrong my 12-14 gram scoop is dead on. 

For some reason, I have this intuition that a lot of coffee geeks might swoon at the 11.8 grams but would sniff indifferently at the fines separation.

Tell you what, the fines separation makes a heckuva lot more difference than whether that 11.8 is ±1 g.

Aw heck, it's all worth experimenting with.  I think I shrugged it off myself when I first read the post because I thought I had read something dismissive about it recently.  And then....it hit me....how many voices were heard in this thread on both sides of the weighing issue and I realized that there is not a single thing to be lost by checking it out in my own kitchen.  Thanks Rasqual.  Now I'm going back to find out how....

Experimenting
It just might teach us something
Fine idea to try

It's on order, but (wouldn't you know) mine has started working again....I will be glad to have a second one on hand anyway, so I don't much mind.  And the new one will make me even geekier since it will weigh to .1 gram instead of just 1 gram....Yippy Kai Geeky Kai Yay....

Oh my!

I guess you are looking at dethroning some of the Geeks here.

 

Did you end up ordering the one you gave the link to?
