Just realized my sourdough starter works way better with a $5 digital scale than my old cup measures.

I compared volume and weight for feeding it for a month, and the scale gave me a bubbly, active starter every single time, so has anyone else found that one simple tool made a huge difference?

Oh man, my buddy had the same thing happen with his coffee! That cheap scale made his brew taste way better overnight.

Read somewhere that even a basic scale helps with consistency. Makes sense since eyeballing coffee grounds is pretty hit or miss.

My friend was always complaining her bread was dense. She swore she followed the recipe. Turns out her "cup" of flour was packed way too tight. She got a little scale on a whim, started weighing everything. Her next loaf was like a bakery made it, total game changer.
