[€ 100] need a good scale but on budget
Hello, fellow espresso lovers!
I need advice on a new budget espresso scale, since my Timemore Mini refuses to turn on properly (slider issue, as it seems) after less than two years of use.
I have a Sage Bambino Plus espresso machine, and since the shots can be quite inconsistent, I rely on a scale to adjust the flow. What I hated about the Timemore was switching between modes. I need to weigh my beans first, then quickly switch back to espresso mode, without having to press a touch button 10 times. At the same time, I'm used to having all three - weight, flow ratio, and time on display at the same time. Do I need that at all?
I’ve seen the MHW-3BOMBER scale mentioned a lot, but I’m not sure about its reliability. I’d need something compact for my Bambino plus.
I’m based in the EU, but Amazon options are fine too.
What I checked:
Felicita Arc and Acaia Lunar - both too expensive and quite unavailable. Not paying the price for my espresso machine for a scale lol
MHW-3BOMBER Mini Cube 2.0 - good price, but unreliable, probably will die soon
Wacaco Exagram Pro - great price, but I wanted to see everything on display at the same time
BOOKOO Themis Mini - unreliable?
Varia AKU Mini - quite over the budget ±180 euros
