{"product_id":"hario-polaris-coffee-scale","title":"Hario Polaris Coffee Scale","description":"\u003cp\u003eHario was founded in Tokyo in 1921 as a maker of heatproof glass and is best known for the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/hario-coffee-dripper-v60-ceramic-white\"\u003eV60 dripper\u003c\/a\u003e. Over the years it has built a range of brewing equipment around the V60, from servers and kettles to grinders and scales, and the Polaris joined that range in 2024. It is a coffee scale that fits into a home brewing setup: it weighs up to 2 kg in 0.1 g steps and can work out how much water your recipe needs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA scale is one of the most useful first pieces of equipment for brewing at home, because weight, not volume, is what makes a recipe repeatable. The Polaris suits pour over, a French press, an AeroPress, a moka pot or a batch of cold brew, and with 0.1 g readability it also weighs an espresso dose and shot.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn Polaris mode you weigh your coffee and set a ratio from 1:1 to 1:30, in 0.5 steps. The scale works out the total water and shows your progress as a percentage up to 100%. There is no need to tare between pours, and recipes are easy to repeat: five equal pours are 20% each, whatever the dose.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe timer starts with the first pour or by hand. Classic mode shows only time and weight, a slide switch turns the beep on or off, and the scale works without an app.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 127 × 165 mm platform takes a dripper with its \u003ca href=\"\/products\/hario-v60-range-server-glass\"\u003eV60 Range Server\u003c\/a\u003e, a French press or a moka pot. On an espresso machine, check that your drip tray takes the platform and that the 27 mm height leaves room for your cup under the portafilter.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt runs on three AA batteries (a starter set is included), which Hario rates at about 10 months with six minutes of use a day.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hario","offers":[{"title":"Black","offer_id":54182200508709,"sku":"BREW-HAR-SCALE-POL-B","price":1929.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true},{"title":"White","offer_id":54182200541477,"sku":"BREW-HAR-SCALE-POL-W","price":1929.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0891\/6965\/8149\/files\/1200x1200-Hario-Polaris-Scale-Black-1.webp?v=1792791910","url":"https:\/\/beanthere.co.za\/products\/hario-polaris-coffee-scale","provider":"Bean There Coffee Company","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
