First off, incredible product name. But they want you to just, like, buy a whole ass scale only for the purpose of storing one type of coffee on? What an incredible piece of fucking ewaste. And it makes Onyx, a company that puts frankly too much effort into looking both slick and ethical, look super tacky.
fantastic, i've always wanted to recreate the experience of arguing with the front desk about having knocked a bottle in the minibar out of place in my own kitchen
this is all kinds of garbage, BUT
one year battery life?
i wonder how, esp when my scale gets wonky before the low battery indicator comes on
The owner of the company is a huge jackass too. Got caught on video a few years back screaming at a barista in a coffee shop over some super minor thing, then got on Twitter and defended himself for days, and ended up blocking huge numbers of people in the coffee space
Apparently they had prior to that been spamming anybody who talked about coffee on Twitter with promotional garbage and trying to get people to take ad deals for free coffee etc, then when everything blew up they blocked everybody they had DMd
As a final nail in the coffin, there apparently as recently as two years ago was not any way to cancel your subscription service with them, so you'd have to email support who would argue with you, then eventually escalate the problem by /emailing the owner on your behalf/ who you'd then have to convince to let you cancel.
