Normcore Pocket Coffee Scale V3, Pour Over Drip Espresso Scale, Barista Scale with Timer, Anodized Aluminum Body with Back-Lit LCD Display, Black

This seems to be an under mentioned scale when looking around on the internet for good coffee scales. I appreciate its speed and accuracy, and the espresso mode works quite well when dialing in my shots. For pour over it fits just about any cup I’d want to put on it. I’m not a fan of using anything but the manual mode for my pour over, as I am fine with just manually starting my timer. It looks sleek as heck and has a bright and easy to read screen. Not much I could complain about. I even liked the little travel case it came with when I brought my pour over set up with me while traveling.

This scale is easy to use and has a "barista" feature, where it will autostart the timer once liquid hits the cup; perfect for making espresso at home if you like to monitor the output weight. It doesn't have the 0.1g accuracy of something like an Acaia Lunar, but it's less than 1/4 the price and has all the features you need. 10/10 would buy again.

Wonderful piece of equipment, after using a cheap coffee scale for a while, this new little device brings pure joy for dialing espresso.

Scale works great but disappointed in build quality. The screen cover ripped off when I peeled off the plastic screen protector. Now, I’ll have to return and wait for a replacement before I can weigh my beans and break in my new machine.

Nice little scale, has settings for pour over and espresso as well as a manual function. I like the angled LED screen, easily read when pulling shots. Espresso setting is sensitive, works well, only complaint is that it needs a constant flow to start timer, so any measure below 0.5g typically wont start timer. quick to reset so would like a bit more sensitivity. overall very good. 8/10. upgraded from a cheapo and I think this was worth the money

After several weeks of use I’m quite satisfied with the Normcore V3 scale, which I use exclusively for espresso. I chose the Normcore V3 because of the mechanical wheel used to select the various modes and for the angled display. I use M for manual to measure out the beans. I set the cup on the scale press T on the front and it tares to 0. Now I add my beans about 18.5 grams. I then grind my beans and then just for fun I reweigh to see how much my Eureka Zero Mignon grinder retained. I then shift the scale to E for espresso, I position it under the porta filter, place my cup on it and it auto tares. The first few drops cause the timer to start along with the scale. The angled display is easy to see as I watch my bottomless porta filter flow and color – beautiful. Time and weight vary with the type/roast of the beans. Likes: • Mechanical wheel to select modes and weight measure – grams or ounces • Scale seems sturdy while being sensitive and accurate – based on my previous scale used. • The three-sided rubber pad does not move around or slide, it is secure. • Love the angled display, very easy to see. Hmmmm • Concerned that its not waterproof – my bottomless porta filter occasionally channels a good stream of espresso on it, so far its been fine. • Don’t really care about the fine silicone case, or flow modes used for pour overs, or that it can weigh up to 4.4lbs • Price is a little high, but a super deal compared to others I like it, I recommend it, I hope it lasts. I’ll close with words from the enclosed instructions from Normcore – “Do not collide vigorously” – one of several precautions listed. 😊

Nice substantial scale, made of aluminum or similar, controls and charging port on rear. Comes with a silicone cover, zip-up travel case, 100g weight, USB-A to USB-C charge cable, and detailed instruction manual. Bottom the scale has a quick reference for operation. I like the fit and finish of the Normcore scale, glad I went with a known brand as there are SO many knockoffs and generic brand scales out there. Like Normcore's other products, this just oozes of quality and thoughtful design. It's made of solid metal (aluminum?). The cover extends side to side, and overhangs over the rear to protect the switches from drips. (See pic.) Bonus: the silicone cover discourages lightweight glasses from "wandering" due to the vibration my KitchenAid KES6403 makes when the pump kicks in. Works fine with or without the cover. I have only tested it in the "espresso mode" where it will set a tare weight when you put empty cups on it, then automatically time and weigh the result as coffee flows into the cups. (Timer does not account for preinfusion where no liquid is produced.) Very easy to learn, and easy to use. I don't have a V60 so I haven't been able to crack the pourover (weight mode, ratio mode) use yet. It's a little small for my Sowden SoftBrew pots anyway (but fits the KES6403 drip tray just right; see pic). It IS petite so some of your fancy espresso glasses may require you to put it obliquely with each in a NE/SW corner arrangement like my Blomus espresso glasses. (No need for this arrangement with my vintage USN wardroom espresso demitasse cups.)

I'm new to coffee scales, but quite pleased with this unit. It is solid feeling. It arrived with the battery well charged and lasted weeks before needing recharging which was easy. (I use it once or twice a day) It is sensitive enough to detect one extra coffee bean! I mainly use mode P2 for experimenting with various ratios. I have not experienced any timer delay as stated by others-it detects water quickly. I thought I would turn off the beeper but I find it quiet enough to be almost soothing. It looks good, it's easily small enough for travel and comes with a zippered case. Really don't have any complaints. It works.

Funciona perfecto para hacer un expresso, la función manual y automática son perfectas, los materiales se sienten de muy buena calidad

Amazing! I love this scales the build quality is lovely and comes with a case to travel with! very small so better for espresso scales more than pour over but I can still. fit my 2 cup v60 on it no problem and fits the drip tray of a bambino plus

This scale feels incredibly solid and high-quality. While it’s not exactly cheap, I can’t imagine spending more on a scale since I’m thoroughly satisfied with this one. Its design is also much better than most, and the automatic sleep/low-power mode is a real plus.
