I use a Hario v60 scale.

When you guys time your shot for 25-30sec, do you start counting from first drip or from when the timer starts.
The grinder is the most obvious choice, but also the most expensive. I've found that those $20 distribution tools actually help a little. Fresh beans to a somewhat lesser extent. Are you measuring the grinds after they've been through the grinder?
