That's what I do I use my BDB timer

Not all heroes wear capes

So many on the market at this price range that do similar things. I think time more gets more attention but is a bit more $. I still haven't needed to charge my battery it lasts a long time

glad it helped!

Ya my last scale didn't have the cover though it wasn't much of an issue so far but I'm generally careful. Glad it helped! Come back to share your experience if you get it

I’m looking to get the mini one. The only one thing I’m worried it’s the battery. How does it hold?

That's my brand 😁 glad you enjoyed

I'm not sure why they did it like that, I believe for most the weight is on the right side and the timer on the left, perhaps by order of importance. having the power (tare) on the right also wouldn't make much sense.. so I think this is the best way. Also, by logic, you'd have everything tared, you'd be ready to go and just need to press T manually to start the timer which is next to the grams so easier control there. I guess there are arguments on both sides. Timemore, Acaia scale is exactly like this.

The ratio is coffee dose: coffee dose (with pour over that's just total water with espresso that's coffee in the cup until you remove the cup to stop). It doesn't differentiate the wet coffee bed. Why would you want that? Pretty sure coffee recipes work the way this scale records ratios

@@GadgetsGearCoffee thanks for the answer, I was asking because the quantity of the product in the cup depends on the water absorption of the ground coffee and other variables. When I brew (filter) even if I follow the same recipe I don't end up with the same quantity in cup. It can vary by many grams and unlike espresso is not constant. There are some brew scales that have kind of a suspended filter holder that doesn't take into consideration the wet coffee. It only weigh in the liquid in the cup. Let's say you have a recipe that calls for 250 water to 25g coffee. With most scales, if you put in let's say 250 on the ground coffee you'll get i.e 200 in the cup but it will vary. With a suspended filter holder, you pour water UNTIL you get 250g of final product in the cup. That's why I was asking, part of trying to understand all the techniques.

@@REMY.C. interesting. I haven't pushed my pour over that much but when I did I just went with the total water. Probably a no no but at the end when I was done brewing I'd push compress the coffee bed to push the rest of the water out

At quick glance seems the same features but double the price?

if there is no need for all the fancy bells and whistles then why get another right? if I were to consider another, it would be the $300+ ones with really interesting features but I don't "need it" and have to cool it on the expenses 😅I'll certainly consider reaching out to other brands though like the MantaBrew for testing and review

@@GadgetsGearCoffee Hey, between this and the Searchpean Tiny 2S, which one would you take? If so, why? Thank you!

@@johns6256 they're basically the same from what I can tell but I like the smart mode is simpler and just 1 way on the Bomber one, the other one has 3 modes but is it even really 3 modes? 1 is manual, the 2 others seem to operate the same way so it's convoluted for nothing, but I also spent 30s on the product page of the other so

@@GadgetsGearCoffee I guess the Bomber is the way to go. Thanks for the comment!

I had a scale similar to whitebird before with 4 different sets of programming and I like the simplicity of the Bomber scale. The Auto taring didn't really serve much help for me, it brought on more confusion to do everything just right. The taring manually or with Bomber is simple and works

how accurate is it though? I find that in theory it's good but would be worry about precision

@@GadgetsGearCoffee surprisingly accurate, so far, I bought the scale without even noting this function, I discovered it when I got the scale home, I bought a Timemore mini a few days later, which felt unnecessary in hindsight, but the Timemore has a flow rate as well.

@@dejedejsson what's the scale?

@@GadgetsGearCoffee Fuego

when I was making the video I actually thought about the mini being used for the Flair or other manual espresso machines as they have a space constriction, sucks it didn't fit

@GadgetsGearCoffee by literal centimeters, too! Such a shame! The Ikape scale does fit though so eventual success! I do know that it fits under the flair 58 though.

@@saeds ahhh is the flair pro just a smaller flair? Is that the only diff? That's helpful info for others to know! That's what the mini would likely be used for

@GadgetsGearCoffee the flair pro doesn't have the typical portafilter, and has a 46mm basket, it used to be the flagship device before the 58 came to be. The body and the drip tray are smaller and a big struggle for us pro2 owners is finding a good, affordable scale that fits well. The Searchpean fits but is a tad bit snug in my opinion

Like their tamper? They have really good stuff. I have a puck screen I jVe yet to use and just got a grind size card to use for another video since I'm not James Hoffman and don't have a particle distributor reader thing lol

@@GadgetsGearCoffee Yes, the tamper, puck screen and basket :) iam very happy with it. Whats a grindsize card?

@@Daniel-ye1ss this s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_Dnl6sPf I got it for a non coffee related video but related to grind sizes

I haven't tested it out and unfortunately I do not have a calibrated weight but when it comes to your particular question, I did have this noted down from another review from this scale: “It's fast and responsive, yet its very accurate. I measured a 50 gram calibration weight, it's only a deviation of 0.3 grams, so less then 1%. Center and corners only deviate 0.1 gram. This is about the same as the (way more expensive) Timemore scale I own. The underside is one big piece, so you can use this scale on every surface and don't need to worry about incorrect measurements. “

Ya, and cheaper. Both good

🤷‍♀️ Write them and let us know

@@GadgetsGearCoffee yes, I did and they confirmed. The problem is that the battery is Lithium. Just google about Lithium battery. This type of battery don't like to be discharged. If it will, then the cell goes to "sleep" or is so dead it won't take a charge anymore, and even if you manage to charge it, the capacity will be so slow that it unusable. As bonus I used the calibrating weight to check the accuracy 10g, 20g, 50g, 100g was plus minus OK. But the higher you go the more inaccurate. The 500g weight was showing +0.9g. The 2000g weight about 2g more. For comparison, I used another two cheaper scales and they were 100% accurate. I have posted a review on Amazon with video, but it may take few days to pop up.

@@-Vee_ It doesn't literally die, it just puts wear on the battery if you completely discharge it. If you keep doing it over and over, it will die. All consumer electronics are like this: for the least wear, you want to keep it around 80% charge as much as possible. Leaving it fully charged also wears the battery. It's not a huge deal, most people ignore this and it's fine, your battery just won't live quite as long. It's not going to just randomly stop working or go to "sleep".

@@-Vee_ I think it's just bad grammar. It means don't wait until the battery is exhausted to charge

Plastic, haven't had any scratches yet. As it's matte even if it did get some it wouldn't show too much
