P.S. for Chip ... this topic might make an interesting poll or two :wink:

:lol: Yep, and it's been done, but perhaps a variation or two for future polls/topics!

There is almost as "Intense Tea Discussion" :wink: on this subject as tea and sweetners on TeaChat. The scales vs the nonscales like to wage serious battle.

While I tend to prefer an intuitive trial and error approach, I have been using this "eco-plastic" version of the My Weigh 400-ZH lately and like it. While the cover-as-tray is a clever idea, I have some concern of tea dust and debris clogging its delicate mechanism over time, so usually place my display bowl on the scale platform instead.

There is quite a collection of scales on dealextreme:

Why that one mentioned here is suggested over the others?

I just mentioned that one, because it's the one I happened to buy. I've had it for maybe 4 months and I like it a lot. Some of the others may be as good or better!

It has been a while since I was on My Weigh's site. I guess they are wholesale only now. The scales are getting cooler and cheaper. Maybe mine will finally die soon. :wink:

You've all missed it!

This one! You'll never have to argue whether to use a scoop or a scale ... again!

Everytime you use a scale a tea fairy loses her wings.
