This article and video are based on our earlier Decent Scale model. We've since launched a newer version with upgraded features and better functionality. You can find the entire documentation on it here.
In this video, again done by a customer, the customer has adjusted their Acaia “filter=” setting to its smallest value of “2”, which should remove the smoothing that scale does, and lead to a faster responsiveness (lower latency). This does improve the Acaia's responsiveness (reducing its latency) and is something we'll recommend to those using an Acaia scale on the Decent Espresso Machine.
