Normcore Pocket Scale V3 Coffee Scale
Sleek, anodised aluminum, flat enough for your pocket, plus a carrying case for on-the-go – a quick press of a button, and the scale tracks the weight as you dose and brew.
A compact aluminum pocket scale with physical buttons and multiple modes, weighing accurately to 0.1 g.
What makes this scale special
The V3 weighs accurately to 0.1 g and covers a range from 0.3 g to 3100 g – enough for beans, water, and larger containers. Physical buttons allow you to switch between various modes, making it suitable for both espresso and pour-over. Brewing by weight ratio is our preferred method. For espresso, we grind fine, start at 14.5 grams and work our way up from there, usually to 17 grams, at a ratio below 1:2. That's just our perspective, one of many.
The housing is made of anodised aluminum, and the battery is rechargeable (3.7 V, 1000 mAh) via the integrated USB-C cable. Included are a heat-resistant pad, a 100 g calibration weight, and a carrying case.

Roastery Tip
Brewing by weight allows you to taste your beans more clearly. For dense, sweet espresso, we like to reach for Cozy Chocolate and Nutty Delight. If you prefer a full-bodied and round taste without any acidity, stick with Very Nutty; for a fruity experience, Wild Peach goes into the grinder. This is our recommendation, one of many, and any bean that tastes good to you is the right one.
