Talking scales commonly used in the UK:

I also know traditional weight balance scales are quite good and you'll likely find on Amazon:

As an aside, as a Canadian I’m always impressed with the RNIB. Their store is leaps and bounds better than ours, they actually advocate for blind people, and they’re active and responsive online. The CNIB suuuuuuuucks.

they advocate for older blind people or those who've lost their sight. Supplying equipment to the more able blind people is hit and miss; I've had braille products warehoused beneath heavy boxes so everything is squished and had to wait 3 weeks for a new white cane (kinda an essential travel tool).
Also the way they handle their books is ridiculous, they launched the orbit reader with, initially, no content to read on it. Crazy.
They are getting better, I suppose. Slow process. Better than nothing.

We use a variant of these, the wife has 2 sets and loves them.

There are several Bluetooth enabled coffee scales out there, in the $120 to $200 range, if I'm not mistaken.
Here's a $1.
Since you can never be sure the apps are accessible, I'd ask people over at /r/coffee to test theirs with VoiceOver

I use https://smartchef.me/ for weighing espresso every day. The display is pretty high-contrast, and the normal app works perfectly well with VoiceOver.
retrolental_morose 1 points 2y ago
does this app let you see the weight with VoiceOver? Have a deafblind colleague who'd benefit from being able to use her Braille display with a scale.
WhatWouldVaderDo 1 points 2y ago
Yup, VoiceOver works just fine with the app for pretty much everything.
