A scale is the simplest upgrade for better coffee, because it lets you repeat a recipe exactly. Hario’s V60 Drip Scale weighs in 0.1 g steps up to 2,000 g and has a built-in timer, so you can track both your coffee to water ratio and your brew time on one screen. It is slim enough to sit under a dripper and carafe, and it runs on batteries.
