  • Amazing all this. I have 3 sets of Acaias collecting dust in the shop which came with my espresso machine and I think I hate every single thing about them.

  • Seriously though, got a better idea? My grinder doesn't have a measured dose so I really should do a better job of measuring grinds into the porta. It's all by eye normally which works but you know I'm not perfect :)

  • My better idea is a scale which takes aaa batteries which you change twice a year and other than that it’s always ready to go, they tare when you ask them to, settings which don’t require a megadrive cheat code to access, in fact why do scale need settings? A timer is nice but who doesn’t have a smartphone in their pocket? Cheapy ones aren’t waterproof but you learn not to be a clutz with them and if you do break them they’re £20 so you could go through about 12 sets before you’re into Acaias, landfill not withstanding.
