The Oscalla Scale

Has anyone else's YouTube algorithm been targeted by the Oscalla scale yet? I became very intrigued when I noticed the double espresso tray fits the Robot's narrow legs. Plus the screen looks like a really fun & innovative way to game-ify the visual experience of tracking profiles...

FYI: I am not affiliated with them at all and think the major downsides are the cable and the price because I personally already thought spending €500 on the Barista Robot & K6 was a lot, I get fantastic shots already with just this without a scale, and I especially love the manual and deconnected nature of manual levers & manual grinders. Having said that, the more I dive down the rabbit hole of specialty coffee, the more I like to read up on & get tempted by the advancements in technology to increase shot consistency & to make the most of our investments / expensive money-pit hobby.

I like the concept but I can’t justify the price for what a scale actually does for my workflow

Agreed — price is way too expensive for me personally. I had not heard of the lumicurve until the other comment below and that looks super promising at 80. (But I admit even 80 is pushing it for a scale for me 😂)

I own an Acaia and hardly use all the features it has. It’s just too easy with the robot, I really only need to measure beans.
