When you're ready to get serious about your coffee brewing, it starts becoming very important to control your brewing variables. One of the variables that can have a big impact on your coffee's flavour is the brewing ratio - the ratio of the amount of coffee to the amount of water. Even small differences can have a big impact which is why coffee professionals and dedicated home baristas will use a scale.

When it comes to picking scales, you need one that is sensitive enough to weigh coffee to 0.1g increments but big enough to weigh your water as well. You'll find the Hario V60 Drip Scale in most coffee establishments because it is among the very few to tick both of these boxes. Even better, it has a timer built in, allowing you to control that equally important variable, all from one appliance!

Part of Hario's V60 range, this scale was designed with pour-overs in mind, as they are generally quite sensitive to brewing variables. However, this scale and timer are the perfect accessories for almost any manual brewing as the large surface will allow you to rest anything from a manual grinder, to a cup or even a Chemex. Whatever your method, buy one of these to take complete control of your coffee brewing!
