Need an accurate small scale...

[N0mad]

I already own a great digital kitchen scale that's accurate 2 grams and up... need one that's accurate 2 grams and below must be sturdy with good track record... don't want to spend more than $25

If you guys or gals have a recommendation would you please post a link

I grabbed one at the local hipster coffee shop. They measure their grind to the gram if they take themselves seriously.

I've got an anvil brand one. Forget how much it was but it wasn't too bad

I have this one:

You'll need calibration weights for any of these, though. It needs 300 grams. And it's accurate to 0.1 g.

I use this one, I call it my crack scale. It’s surprisingly accurate and it’s only 7 bucks on Amazon. I weigh brewing salts and hop additions with it.

Go to your local head shop, they will 10 different models for you to choose from for $10 to $20...
Not that that is where I got mine

Just be sure to wipe off any flecks of....hops...that happen to get on the scale or weighing tray

I use this one all the time:

Accurate to 0.01g which is awesome for brewing salts

It's fully legal here in Colorado, Craig. No worries....

I'm also thinking about buying a second kitchen scale

I think that it is important to take into account some other parameters

I use this one. Very compact and you can calibrate it

I have the same scale that Highvoltageman uses. Works fine for salts and hops.

I use this one for hops, salts, etc.https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07DJBDL6L/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I bought my own here

Just beware: precision is not the same as accuracy.

My scale reads to 0.01 gram. This is fairly precise.

But when it says 1.00 grams, I have no idea if it is 0.97 or 1.05 grams... meaning I cannot determine its accuracy. (Well I suppose I can, I just have not)...

 

[Zambi]

Do you really need to be that precise @Donoroto ?
I would say thats close enough for anything brewing related

I use a little jeweller's scale for small amounts.
