Normcore Pocket Coffee Scale, Espresso Scale with Timer, Pour Over Drip Coffee Scale, 2000g/0.1g Barista Scale, Anodized Aluminum Body with Back-Lit LCD Display, American Walnut Wood Cover

This scale is a great option if you’re on a small budget. It looks similar to those acaia scales. It feels and looks expensive. The scale is pretty small. It measures in grams and milligrams. The response time is fast. Since the scale is small, I believe it fits under almost any espresso machine. I have a rocket appartamento and it fits fine with the portafilter on.

I really liked it when I first got it. The functions are off. To power it off you have to long press the T not the power. And changing the mode gets frustrating. Too many tapping to get to the mode you want. At first I didn't mind it but after using it for awhile. I can't.

Really accurate, enjoying it a lot

The media could not be loaded. I wanted to like this scale - I really did. I have a bunch of normcore accessories that I use daily - and a reasonably priced compact, wood-top espresso scale from normcore - what's not to like? Right off the bat, it was evident from the box that this was a return (see attached photo). Not a good start. Nevertheless I was going to keep the scale if it was in good condition and worked as advertised. Wow, the UI is ridiculously dysfunctional - as other reviewers have pointed out, the way to switch to 'espresso' mode is completely different than what the manual says. The timer button does NOT switch to espresso mode - you have to tap it 2 (or maybe three, who knows) times. If that worked consistently, I would have still considered keeping the scale - it doesn't (see attached video). The program mode differs from what the manual describes too. Yeah, there is no way I am putting up with that in my morning coffee ritual.

The scale works great; however, only 4 stars because the instructions are not intuitive. To tare, you need to just tap the power/tare button once. Instructions say to tap twice, but that will change the unit of measurement. Overall, great quality for price, and hopefully they have updated the instructions since I purchased in Early 2024.

I admit that I wasn't expecting much with this scale. But before I even finished opening it I realized I was wrong.Everything about this scale is fantastic. It seems to be very well made, but more importantly, the scale itself is highly accurate. I measured it against some standard weights that I have, and it was perfect. Yes, perfect. Honestly, you can have any bell or whistle you want on a scale but if it's not accurate what's the point. This works exactly as you'd expect.This scale also has a built-in timer. I usually use my phone, but I have grown to like the timer built into the scale. Again, the designers of this scale have thought through the process and put everything you need to get it to work.I find the fact that it's rechargeable very helpful, and also somewhat less than helpful. The problem with built in batteries is that you have to put them in your carry-on for an airplane. They won't let you Stow lithium batteries in your checked baggage. So keep that in mind because this isn't the lightest scale in the world. That aside, the rechargeable battery seems to be working really well, I've only charged it once (when I opened it) and over two weeks it still shows full. It is nice not having to hunt for batteries.The scale comes with a very nice case and a small wooden riser that allows you to rest a cup or pot on it without it hitting the digital controls. The case is a very nice touch. I didn't like it at first but now that I've been using it, I appreciate being able to put everything back into the case and slide it into a drawer without losing the parts.The only negative that I really have for this scale is that it is a little bit on the expensive side. It's hard for me to say that completely, because you literally get everything you could possibly want in this scale including batteries. It's got a nice bright display, and an easy to use interface, timer, riser, zippered case... It's overall just very very nice.

This works really well. The footprint is good, it’s fits nicely under my profitec pro 600. Seems relatively accurate as well. I also use it for single cup v60s and aeropress brews as well so pretty versatile. Pretty decent scale for the money.

I have a kitchen scale which I use when I bake so that I can weigh out my ingredients and have very precise measurements. For most things it is pretty accurate, but when it comes to really small measurements, it just doesn't have the necessary precision, and despite it being marketed as something you would use to weigh your coffee, I initially got this scale for assisting with those measurements and to that end it has worked quite well.I also decided to try using it for its intended purpose, and once I did I realized just how much of a difference it can make when it comes to the consistency of your coffee from pot to pot. I'm certainly not a coffee aficionado or anything like that, but I do enjoy a good cup of coffee and I do like it when it is consistent in flavor and strength. Normally I just measure off my coffee with a couple of scoops, but when I tried weighing them it really surprised me just how much variation there can be from one scoop to the next, even though they look pretty much the same.When it comes to the features and usability, I have found several things that I really like about this scale like the rechargeable battery, the built-in timer, and the included case. Overall, I've been pretty happy with it, and it has exceeded my expectations when it comes to its accuracy and general functionality. If there was anything that I would change at all, it would be the cost, which I found to be a bit high for this type of device, but acceptable given the quality of the product.
