Picked up a stylish little digital scale at Home Store and More for 9.99 euro (Max. 5kg; 1g grad.). Couple of useful features including metric and imperial conversions and add and weigh function. Seems to be very responsive, and accurate to the gram.

I have one just like it but it also measures fluids which is super handy.

Have something similar too, but found it wasn't accurate for small measurements. Small hop additions and spices etc. Got myself a jewellery scales cheap on eBay for that stuff.

That's interesting, I hadn't thought of spices, I can certainly see you'd need something a bit more accurate for such small additions.

This will do the job for the moment though, and I can always get a drugs jewellery scales at a later stage  ;)
