The Normcore Coffee Scale V2 is one of those tools that doesn’t just sit on your counter — it becomes part of your daily coffee ritual. At first glance, it looks almost identical to the Acaia Lunar, but the difference shows up in the price tag: you’re getting that same sleek, minimalist vibe at a fraction of the cost.
Feature-wise, it packs more than you’d expect for its price range. The scale measures with 0.1 g accuracy up to 2 kg, making it precise enough for both espresso and pour-over. You can switch between multiple modes:
Espresso Auto-Timing Mode (E): The timer automatically starts when the first drop hits.
Manual Mode (M): Perfect for pour-over or when you want full control of timing.
Pour-over Auto-Timing Mode (P): Starts a countdown and automatically tracks weight and time as soon as water hits the coffee bed.
It also comes with practical extras: a USB-C rechargeable battery, automatic shutoff to save power, unit conversion (grams, ounces, milliliters), a silent mode, and a clear display that’s easy to read in any light. The touch-sensitive buttons feel modern and avoid that clunky “click” of cheaper scales.
Physically, the scale is slim (around 18–20 mm), fits comfortably under an espresso machine, and includes a non-slip silicone pad to protect your cups and portafilter. The build feels sturdy in hand, not flimsy or plasticky.
In terms of speed, it’s good — not quite as lightning-fast as Bookoo, Timemore, or Acaia, but more than reliable for everyday brewing. If you’re after great design, useful features, and solid performance without spending big, this scale hits the sweet spot.
