To measure mass, you typically use a balance, either electronic or manual.

Mass is the amount of matter something contains

At the earths surface, mass = weight (force), so scales or spring balance are ok

if you change the local gravity though, eg standing on the moon, the mass remains the same, but the weight would only be 1/6 that of the earth.
