hippy-
Climpson and Sons for £85. I think Clifton had them in stock too.
They’re good, super responsive and fast. Just have to be ok with the ethics of them clearly ripping off Acaia’s IP. And definitely only buy through a third party, I don’t foresee customer service existing from Felicita direct.
The arc model might be even better suited for espresso because of the size.
Fyoosh
I did! Ha, you’re having the exact experience I had.
I searched all over reddit and other places trying to work this out the other night. I found the info in, wait for it...the Acaia manual!
So it turns out they are even more of a copy of the Acaia scales than I realised. You need to enter the config mode to turn the auto settings on.
With the scale off. Hold the power button until you see “Set-u” while still holding the power button, tap the “T” button until it reads “Sleep”.
The T button cycles through menu options
Power button enters into that option
T button toggles that option, eg on/off
So you want to turn on mode 3, mode 4, mode 5
Power button takes you back to the menu list
In the list view, hold the “T” button to save.
Now turn scale off and on and the auto modes are there. Holding the power button switches modes and you’ll see the icons on the right side change as you cycle through: drop, drop and square, triangle and square.
Ironically after all of that, the feature I wanted, auto tare only mode, isn’t even on this scale. Those modes above would work great for espresso, but for V60, stopping the pour for the bloom stops the timer and messes everything up.
Here’s the menu options from the Acaia lunar manual. Not all are in the Felicita but it’s almost the same.
You can even turn off that irritating beep!
