Hartwick Everyday Kitchen Scale

A plain, dependable gram scale that costs less than a bag of good beans. The Everyday reads in 1 g steps to 3 kg, which is honestly all filter brewing requires — the difference between 24 g and 25 g of coffee in a 400 g brew is barely a ratio change, while the difference between scooping and weighing is enormous. Tare with one press, set your brewer on top, and pour to a number instead of a guess. It runs on two AAA batteries for months, and the sealed top wipes clean after spills. What you give up against the brew scales above: no timer, slower display updates, and 1 g rather than 0.1 g resolution, which rules out serious espresso work. For press, drip, and cold brew, it is quietly perfect.
