Agreed. More accurate, and less washing up.
I have both a kitchen scale and a sifting attachment for a kitchen-aid mixer with a digital scale, but I hardly use them. Old habits die hard, and most of my recipes are in regular cup measure. Some recipes like biscuits, I don't even measure, I eyeball everything.
The nail in the coffin for cups goes back 30 years or so when I was
trying to make Coccodrillo for the first time. This is an Italian
bread with a 110% hydration. The recipe used weights for the flour
but cups for the liquids. However, I used a Canadian 250ml cup but
the recipe was in an American book using a 236ml cup. You might think
that 14ml shouldn't make that much difference but it did and I had to
discard the slop.
Here's what the bread looked like when I got it right:

That bread looks really good. Would you mind posting the recipe?
