Normcore Magnetic Espresso Shot Mirror
The mirror stands on the drip tray with its magnetic base and shows you the underside of your bottomless portafilter. You see how the shot runs without bending down.
A 70 mm HD glass mirror sits on a ball head. It rotates through 360 degrees and tilts until the viewing angle is right.
Features
Magnetic base for the drip tray
The mirror is simply placed on the drip tray and held there by its magnetic base.
Ball head, rotatable through 360 degrees
The mirror is mounted on a ball head. You rotate and tilt it until you can see the extraction clearly from your viewing angle.
70 mm HD glass mirror
The mirror surface is glass with a diameter of 70 mm. It ships with a transparent protective film on the surface, which you peel off before first use.
What you see in the mirror
For us, an even stream from the centre of the basket is a sign of even extraction. Side jets or spritzes tend to point to uneven distribution or a tilted tamp. That is our view, one of many. What matters is that you enjoy the espresso.
For puck preparation: if you want it affordable and precise, you will find WDT tools, puck screens and bottomless portafilters in the Normcore Collection. If you want more material and machining, take a look at the Moonraker and the puck screens in the Weber Workshops Collection.

Who it is made for
For anyone who works with a bottomless portafilter and wants to see the extraction rather than guess at it. Normcore designed it for use on the drip tray. You will find more accessories in our barista tools.
For a scale under the cup: if you want it affordable and precise, choose from the Normcore Collection. If you want an app, flow-rate display and Bluetooth, you will find them in the Acaia Collection. Our advice tool narrows down the right espresso machine, and you can see the range in our coffee machines.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need a bottomless portafilter?
Yes. The mirror shows the extraction from below – that only works with a bottomless (naked) portafilter, where the coffee puck is exposed.
How does the mirror stay on the machine?
Via a magnetic base that grips the drip tray. The ball head rotates through 360° and tilts, so you can set any viewing angle.
How big is the mirror?
The mirror surface has a diameter of 70 mm, and the length is 35 mm. Before first use, you peel off the transparent protective film.
How is it delivered?
Available to order directly online, delivery throughout Switzerland and to Liechtenstein in 2–5 business days. Click & Collect in Bern and Zurich Oerlikon possible.
Can I see the mirror before buying?
In our showrooms in Bern (Gerberngasse 44) and Zurich Oerlikon (Hagenholzstrasse 50b) you can see many products live, but the display changes. Write to [email protected] before your visit and we will check whether the mirror is on site.
Tip from the roastery: In the mirror you see every shot from below. For dense, full-bodied espresso we recommend Cozy Chocolate and Nutty Delight. For maximum body without acidity Very Nutty, for a fruity experience Wild Peach. That is our recommendation, one of many.
