Features of the Pocket Scale V3
Housing of milled aluminum
According to Normcore, CNC-milled from a solid block of anodised aluminum: robust, in a very compact format that fits in your pocket.
Accurate to 0.1 g, 0.3 to 2000 g
Fast response and a stable reading, even with small doses. Four selectable modes cover espresso and pour-over.
Made for on the go
A 1000 mAh battery, charging via USB Type-C and its own case: the scale goes wherever you go.
The details in everyday use
Four modes
M is the manual mode, E the espresso mode, P1 calculates the weight for pour-over, P2 works with the brew ratio. The display shows mode, timer, battery, weight and flow rate.
Physical buttons and function switch
The buttons prevent accidental touches while brewing. With the function switch you change the unit to the left, the mode to the right and the sound downwards.
Brewing by weight ratio is our preferred way of working. 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 is just our view, one of many.

Roastery tip: Brewing by weight lets you taste your beans more clearly. For dense, sweet espresso, we like to reach for Cozy Chocolate and Nutty Delight. If you like it full and round without any acidity, stay with Very Nutty; for a fruity experience, Wild Peach goes into the grinder. That is our recommendation, one of many.
