Saw this pop up, coming soon on Kickstarter.

Interesting idea on making the screen more visible and putting more information on the scale screen rather than an app. I’m not sure about all the modes it’s supposed to come with will keep an eye on it.
I’m tempted for the price.

Love this idea. We had a design student here not so long ago asking for ideas for a design project based on frustrations with making coffee.

My nomination was a scale with a display that wasn’t obscured as I poured beans into the dosing tray.

So thanks for the heads up @simonc this is the answer.

Love the idea of this. Detaching the numbers bit and popping it on top of the machine would bring me an odd amount of joy. Is that joy worth the price and risk, maybe not 😂

a month later

Kickstarter closes today.

I was really keen as an Acaia alternative given the price and loved the idea of having a display higher up on the machine and even the graphical flow on the tilt display.
However given the price for them to be so vague about lack of separate app in future, API support despite saying they are working with beanconqueror and no commitment for upgradable firmware if required to support native or 3rd party apps I think I’m going to skip this first version.
It’s clear on the comments that a number of people have pulled pledges from the answers.
I’m sure for some that want functionality of an app, ie live brew ratio or charted flow without needing an app on their phone it would be great but I like (need) to track my brews and paper and pen don’t work for me so I need app connectivity.
