When my first Brewista scale gave out after a few years I thought I’d try something else and ordered an acaia Pearl. Was not impressed with the huge size of it and the dot matrix display was definitely not for me! Back to Eight Ounce it went and true to their word they had a new Brewista promptly heading my way! I love the compact size and accuracy and especially mode 6 for doing pour-overs! Mode 6 on a Brewista is far superior to acaia Pearl’s pour-over mode.

A great little scale that's perfect for what I was looking for. Having said that, I only use the scale for measuring the weight of the ground coffee and then the pulled shot. The size of the scale is ideal for my espresso machine and I've been very happy with the purchase.

I kind of wish I had read the comments before purchasing. $117 is serious money for a scale, but I thought I would get something of quality and built to last at that price. Like others experienced, the plastic casing bowed in the manufacturing process, making the scale wobbly and rocking front to back. I just received a replacement where they’ve added rubber feet to correct the wobble, but the bow is still there. In addition, the sticker covering the control board was misaligned when it was applied, reducing the waterproof protection of the components. The look and features are nice, but the quality isn’t there, which is frustrating for something pretty simple.

I also feel like the plastic cover should fit the rubber pad in it.

I would not recommend this scale.

On paper this scale have all the features I am looking for. Small footprint and auto-tare and auto-timer functions, rechargeable, etc. In reality (although I have only had this for a few days) I am not that impressed. I seem to have issues with Mode 5 where the auto-timer doesn't start until there are a few grams already in the cup which is not very useful. Also, the timer does not always stop when the shot is finished which is also not very useful. Another small quirk is the clear case it comes with. The case does not fit if the rubber matt is on the scale. I will give it a few more days to see if I can work out the kinks.

It is a much cheaper alternative to the offensively expensive Acaia scales which is a good thing.

Pros:
- Scale is accurate
- Easy to use
- Compact

Cons:
- Fit and finish not the best
- Does not sit level on the counter and is bowed in the middle causing it to spin and move around the counter top. Very frustrating when trying to dose coffee.

I regret the purchase after having it for a little over 2 weeks. I will be reaching out to eight ounce coffee to see if something can be done. I plan on eventually moving to an Acaia scale for my setup.
