Two new scales in at CoffeeGeek for evaluation:
- the very poorly chosen brand name "MHW-3Bomber" Cube Coffee Scale Mini 2.0 version (that company seriously needs a brand overhaul)
- the much better named DiFluid Microbalance Ti
A scales feature coming soon to CoffeeGeek. The 3Bomber scale is almost the same size as an Acaia Lunar.
@coffeegeek Perfect! I'll read the review when it's out before buying.
Edit: The 3Bomber says the mini is 104×104mm on Amazon. You sure about those dimensions?
@jannem his box shows 2.0Mini. Not sure if that is a new product. Amazon is showing the Mini and the larger 2.0 scales.
Edit: nope, it’s the same size as the Lunar. 104x104 appears to be the size.
@ezarowny Are you finding any issues with the Mini 2? (I haven't used this one yet). Things I'll be looking at:
- response time
- accuracy
- heat sensitivity
- features and functions
- touch sensitivity
- battery life
@coffeegeek the scale's response time is more than good enough and the accuracy seems good at all four corners. I haven't found a need to try any of the advanced features yet.
The battery seemed to last about 50 days but I have some caveats to add here:
1. I usually make two or three espressos a day and sometimes many more if company is over.
2. I never fully charged the scale I just started using it right out of the box.
3. I also use it when weighing coffee before and after roasting.
@coffeegeek the scale does show zero bars for some time before it finally dies which I appreciate.
My only real complaints are:
1. The insulation pad should have extended down both sides of the scale so it would be harder to accidentally move.
2. The beep is a bit loud! I like having some feedback to make sure I actually pressed a button when I meant to so I usually have the beep turned on.
