It’s totally a scale. The point that rests on the holder is the “balancing” point, and you move the slider on the “handle” until it’s level with the amount you want.
We had a family run Chinese restaurant, and a scale similar to this was used to measure everything (other than the balancing point, that was just a string). It’s also in grams.

Nice. One thing that’s always irked me about my digital scale is how it doesn’t spill my beans all over when I misjudge my scoops.

The idea is great, but I want a spoon not an upturned umbrella. And make the balancing point finer, like those balancing eagle toys but made of polished aluminium. Make it balance on an imperceptible bowl carved into the tip of the finger reaching up like the painting “creation of Adam”….
And the weight gauge lettering is ugly. One line for 18g and the dots away from it for the rest.
I want to feel like I found something sitting in the space ship from the film ‘Arrival’ god damn it! (walks out Slaming door)…

Let me just pull my trusty triple beam out of the closet and get to weighing my morning beans…

This looks like it’d be much easier to measure how much you got rather than how much you want.

The last two years it seems like there’s a series of coffee products that make everything harder and less reliable.

Coffee afficionados getting stupid? That’s a Chinese medicine scale!

We are way past the point where coffee gear innovation actually makes a difference to coffee extraction.
Unpopular opinion, but i put that point right around when Melodrip came out. Too many useless gear that don’t actually impact day-to-day coffee drinking.
Just get ONE good grinder, a brewer of choice, any gooseneck kettle, and a $10 amazon scale. Literally all you need

I actually like it, I never weigh my output since it’s fixed on the pavoni. This could make a pretty neat bean scale and I would consider getting it for 20 bucks or less if I didn’t have 4 scales already.
