Hi OP, I could use your help:
I have a Lelit portafilter with a handle that is slanted down such that you can simply place a spouted PF on a surface and it will balance. As such, I grind into my PF and then place the PF diagonally on the scale. It balances on the spout and handle. Do you think this is possible with the cheap o scales on your shootout or were those all small?
I currently have an old Brewberry scale that I like but I'm itching to upgrade. The brewberry was discontinued but it was wide and low profile (https://www.amazon.com/Brewberry-Stainless-Function-Weighing-Capacity/dp/B07CNYS868)
