Mine are in increments of 0.01 grams I dont use them any more KK I home roast and I like it.

1/2 Pounder Posts: 269 Joined: January 09, 2009	I have a pretty decent one I bought in December that is accurate to 1 g. It ok but since i brewone cup(16oz) at a time, I would like to but one accurate to 1/10th gr. if my credit card balances ever get low enough. May the Force be with your cup

And quite inexpensive at $19.50. But don't drop it... I like it so much, I'm about to order a replacement... John Edited by John Despres on 07/03/2009 4:11 PM Respect the bean.

My new one comes with a calibration weight, so it will be dead nuts on every time. I should have it in a couple days. Report coming. Edited by John Despres on 01/21/2010 4:50 PM Respect the bean.

1/2 Pounder Posts: 380 Joined: November 08, 2008	I just need a scale for measuring out half pounds for roast. Is that digi dosing scale overkill for me? Would I do just as well with a simpler model?
