One-line verdict

For V60 pour-over purists who want a scale designed specifically for the Hario ecosystem with auto timer and simple interface, it pairs perfectly with Hario gear at a lower price than Timemore Pro but lacks the slim espresso fit of the Polaris.

How it compares

vs Hario Polaris ($89): V60 Drip Scale wins on V60-specific design and lower price, Polaris wins on ultra-slim portafilter compatibility
vs Timemore Black Mirror Pro ($95): V60 wins on Hario ecosystem integration, Timemore wins on USB-C and flow-rate graph
