Espresso dosing is much easier with 0.1 g resolution, a timer, and a footprint that fits on a drip tray or next to the portafilter. Pour-over modes and flow-rate readouts are useful extras, not required for a first scale. A good scale also helps when you're setting up a first machine (see the beginners guide) and with pour-over gear.
