  • Oh we’re talking about different things.

    I was talking about the Felicita Incline, which has the auto tare and start with flow modes of the Acaia Lunar. So I meant the Incline would work if the Arc was too pricey.

    I wasn’t recommending the Pearl for espresso, that won’t work.

  • Yeah, but now I'm having the ethical conundrum of buying a knock-off unit versus spending £300 for scales that get used once or twice a day and that I've happily done without for the last year or two.

    I normally pour into measuring glasses and transfer that to drinking vessels so I need the weighing of the output less than the weighing of the input. Having it all combined with timing though is nice.

  • Yeh I did the exact same thing but it turns out I’m ruled by money and chose the unethical knock off. So maybe I’m an asshole.

    I think the universe balanced out with some scale based karma though. The Hario scales I posted to @nefarious were opened and broken somewhere along the Hermes delivery chain.

  • I’ve also decided the real crime is that Acaia charges so much for their scale, when Felicita are able to sell the same tech so cheap. I’d have totally bought the lunar if it was under £199...probably.

    Anyway, do you know what goes great with ethical conundrums? Coffee. So I am sitting in the garden, sun shining, drinking my pour over coffee, weighed upon an evil scale, questioning my lack of ethical consumption.
