HarioV60 Drip Scale.

The verdict in one line: Hario's own product page confirms a 2,000g capacity scale with 0.1g resolution from 2g to 200g and a built-in timer, precise enough to weigh the 15g pour-over dose and 18g AeroPress dose our guides call for while timing both brews on the same device.

Plain speech

Buy it, or don't.

For you if

  • You're weighing doses for our pour-over guide's 15g cup or our AeroPress guide's 18g dose: Hario states 0.1g resolution from 2g to 200g, precise enough for either.
  • You want one device that replaces a separate scale and stopwatch: Hario's own listing describes a built-in timer built into the weighing platform.
  • You brew batches scaled well past a single cup: the 2,000g maximum capacity Hario states comfortably covers either guide's ratio scaled up toward a liter of water and beyond.

Not for you if

  • You need a submersible or splash-proof scale: Hario's own product page states the scale is not water resistant.
  • You need the battery type confirmed by Hario itself: Hario's page states only that batteries are included; the 2 AAA battery detail comes from Forty Weight Coffee's retailer listing, not Hario's own page.
  • You need a stated maximum timer duration: none of the three sources fetched this run publish one, only that a built-in timer is included.

Questions, answered plainly

FAQ.

Hario’s own product page lists this scale as the V60 Drip Scale Black, model VSTN-INT-2000B, a 2,000g-capacity platform scale with a built-in timer, made of ABS resin, W120xD190xH29mm. Our pour-over guide’s gear list names “Digital scale with a timer” as required equipment, and our AeroPress guide’s gear list names “Digital scale and timer” the same way, without specifying a model. This is that kind of scale: Hario states it “weighs in both 1 gram and 1/10th of a gram measurements for desired precision,” resolving to 0.1g between 2g and 200g, comfortably finer than either guide’s 15g pour-over dose or 18g AeroPress dose needs.

Hario’s page confirms a built-in timer alongside the weighing function, matching what both guides assume a scale brings to the counter: a way to track dose, yield and time on one device rather than two. Forty Weight Coffee’s listing adds that the scale runs on 2 AAA batteries and auto-shuts-off after a period of inactivity, details Hario’s own page does not spell out. Forty Weight’s listing also states the scale’s dimensions as 140 x 190 x 28.5mm, wider than the 120mm width Hario’s own page states; this page uses Hario’s manufacturer figure rather than blend the two.

Capacity is generous relative to either guide: Hario’s stated 2,000g maximum covers the pour-over guide’s 250g per-cup yield scaled well past a single serving, and comfortably exceeds the AeroPress guide’s 210g pour plus 18g of grounds. Seattle Coffee Gear’s listing states a separate weighing accuracy figure, plus or minus 0.2g at the low end of the range, which is a tolerance spec rather than the display resolution Hario states, so the two numbers are shown separately on this page rather than combined into one.

FAQ

Does this scale fit our pour-over and AeroPress guides’ gear requirements?

Yes. Both guides list a digital scale with a timer as required gear without naming a specific model. Hario’s product page confirms this scale weighs and times a brew on the same device, meeting what either gear list calls for.

How precise is this scale for a 15g pour-over dose or an 18g AeroPress dose?

Hario states the scale resolves to 0.1g between 2g and 200g, well inside the range of the pour-over guide’s 15g dose and the AeroPress guide’s 18g dose.

How much water can this scale weigh at once?

Hario states a 2,000g maximum capacity. That covers the pour-over guide’s 250g per-cup yield scaled up toward a liter of water, and the AeroPress guide’s 210g pour with room to spare.

What powers the scale, and is it water resistant?

Forty Weight Coffee’s listing states the scale runs on 2 AAA batteries, included. Hario’s own product page states the scale is not water resistant.

Is this the exact scale confirmed on the Amazon listing?

Yes. The Amazon listing at amazon.com/dp/B0CBVZTNGD is titled “Hario VSTN-INT-2000B Drip Coffee Scale, V60, Black,” matching the model number on Hario’s own product page as a single item, not a bundle.
