Hario - Polaris Coffee Scale Black (new 2024 with ratio)

Hario Polaris is a modern electronic scale designed for pour-over brewing methods. It’s ideal for both home use and coffee shops. Its greatest advantages include elegant design and the ability to simultaneously measure weight, track brewing time, and indicate the required amount of water based on set coffee-to-water ratio.

​

DESIGN

If you're a fan of good design, the Hario Polaris is for you. The design is characterized by a minimalist, elegant, and modern form. You can be assured of high-quality materials and attention to every detail. The housing is made from high-quality, smooth, matte plastic.

With its appropriate dimensions (165 mm x 127 mm x 28 mm), the scale can accommodate a variety of accessories for alternative brewing methods, such as a Chemex, V60, or AeroPress.


FEATURES

Time and weight are displayed on a clear, backlit LCD screen. With an accuracy of up to 0.1 grams and a measurement range up to 2 kilograms, this scale is highly versatile. The scale is easily operated via touch buttons. 

The Hario Polaris is equipped with a water measurement indicator based on set proportions. 

Operation is simple: set the desired coffee-to-water ratio, add the coffee, and the indicator shows the amount of water needed. Additionally, a percentage indicator shows how much of the required water has already been added.

The Hario Polaris has three modes of operation:

- manual, where the timer is started manually,
- automatic, where the timer starts automatically when pouring begins,
- automatic + pouring indicator based on set proportions.


OTHER

The device is powered by three AA batteries (included). Silicone feet prevent the device from slipping.

I have always favored scales that run on external batteries. By utilizing rechargeable batteries, you eliminate the risk of battery failures or charging cable issues that frequently plague scales from various brands that rely on internal batteries and USB connections.

This scale is a great tool for coffee brewing, making it accessible for beginners and those who aren't confident with math, as it allows them to follow recipes without needing to check their phones or apps. On the downside, the lack of an app means you won't have access to features like flow rate measurements or the ability to weigh ingredients like 100 grams of milk or rice based on their density and weight.

Similar to other coffee scales, this one is also suitable for a range of kitchen weighing tasks up to 2kg.

For optimal freshness, store your coffee beans in a vacuum canister or freeze them. This storage method is best for beans you won't be using for at least a week or two.
