Hario V60 Metal Drip Scale – rechargeable battery, metal housing, illuminated display
The illuminated display stays easy to read even in an early-morning kitchen, the metal housing sits solidly on the counter, and charging is done via USB – no batteries, no searching for them.
The Metal Drip Scale measures weight and extraction time simultaneously and is the higher-quality sibling of the classic Drip Scale. We carry Hario at Coffee Coaching Club.
What defines it
Like the classic Drip Scale, it shows grams and seconds in parallel, and protects its electronics from the heat of the kettle and dripper with a raised, heat-resistant weighing plate. Added to that are a metal housing, an illuminated display for better readability, and a rechargeable battery that charges via USB cable and delivers around 80 hours of active use – this saves batteries and makes it fit for everyday use.

Who it's for
For anyone who wants a robust brew scale with a rechargeable battery and an easy-to-read display. Anyone who prefers something simpler with batteries chooses the classic V60 Drip Scale from the Hario collection; app, flow rate display and Bluetooth are offered by the Acaia collection.
What goes with it
A V60 dripper like the V60 NEO 02, a gooseneck kettle and filter papers from the Hario collection as well as a grinder from the hand grinders. Beans like Nutty Delight or the fruity Wild Peach.
Frequently asked questions
How is the Metal Drip Scale charged?
Via a USB cable. One charge lasts for around 80 hours of active use.
How does it differ from the classic Drip Scale?
Metal housing instead of plastic, illuminated display, and a USB rechargeable battery instead of AAA batteries. Measurement range and accuracy are the same.
Is the scale heat-resistant?
Yes, the raised weighing plate keeps the heat from the kettle and dripper away from the electronics.
Roastery tip
A good starting point for pour-over is a ratio of about 1:15 to 1:17 – for example 15 g of coffee to 250 ml of water. With weight and time in view, you'll hit that mark again every morning. Nicely rounded with Nutty Delight. That's our recommendation, one of many.
