Hario Scale

It is actually rather difficult to find a scale with a timer and no auto shut off. Hario now has a scale that is suitable for brewing.

I wish it also has a count down timer for brewing methods like French press or Clever. Nevertheless, I find this scale helpful.

Aha. There's also this: http://www.amazon.com/Hario-Coffee-Scal ... drip+scale

Henry, is the sensitivity 0.1-g. or 0.5-g.? I've seen conflicting info.

The sensitivity is 0.1g between 0-200g, 0.5g from 200-500g, and 1g from 500-2000g. It is large enough to weigh beans for roasting. However, it is too large to fit under the brew head to weigh espresso extraction.

Really? Maybe if it is as cheaply built as it looks, but if it functions how it is said to, that is a good price. An average kitchen scale is around $50. Add in a timer and .1 gram accuracy for small measurements, and I'd say it is a good deal.

Well not for me, but twenty dollars for a pound of coffee is expensive for others. So worth it for you, not for me.

I agree.
