ElephantNumTime More Mirror Nano Espresso Coffee Scale (Black)

This is a great little espresso coffee scale. It fits perfectly on the drip tray of my coffee machine. Whilst I don't need to use it for measuring the amount of ground coffee as my machine does that, it does measure really well and extremely accurately.This fits just right on my coffee machine. I can now use it to test my espresso to get just the right balance of water to coffee for the perfect brew. My machine then lets me save the best output, so this is ideal to perfect my brew.This is easy to use, having an on/off sliding switch, plus a touch sensor power button, which also doubles up as a tare.Overall, this is really easy to use. It charges via a usb-c connector and has a water resistant rubber top that can be removed to wash. I can definitely recommend this. It can also be used for other smaller measuring tasks in the kitchen and has a surprising 2kg limit on it.

This is a review for TIMEMORE Black Mirror Nano Espresso Coffee Scale, it was £129.99 at the time of review.When I first open the box, I was already fall in love with the classy outlook, black body with a silicone mat to place on top. I saw the sign on the scales to remind me reading the manual first before using it but couldn't find it. I therefore contact the seller and they reply in speedy manner with a pdf link. With the manual, I find that it is actually very easy to use and the measurement is extremely precise. As a novice to brewing coffee, I really need this to help me to get the precise measurement of water to coffee and the brew time. It has a little cable comes with the pack to charge it up when batteries runs out. I didn't got a chance to get it drained yet so I am not sure how long it will charge from 0 to 100% but I can tell one charge definitely last very long as mine still working.

this scale is very accurate and a must if you want to achieve barista quality espresso, easy to use and to clean, sleek and portable design

Very easy to use. Great for measuring out for coffee.

I bought this to use for espresso. It’s the only mode I’ve used with it, so I won’t comment on the others. I have no reason to doubt that they work, but you’ll have to read someone else’s review for those other modes.The scale is well built, nice to look at, and very convenient to use. Rechargeable battery has been quite good- I have used this daily since purchase and the battery icon still indicates full from the first charge. I am using standby for Off, not the hard switch. The buttons are touch sensitive, so no pressure is needed to activate them.Espresso (ESP) mode first looks for a cup: after you place one on the platter it will weigh and then automatically zero out. This is nice, but perhaps not amazing: every manual scale has a tare button to do the same thing. But the real benefit is in the automatic timer. Next, it looks for liquid flowing into the cup: when the first few drops hit, the timer starts timing. In my photo, the ESP will be replaced by seconds counting up. 0.0 on the right is the weight in grams. Finally, when you stop the shot, it will lock in the weight, stop the timer, and blink both numbers at you to let you know how you did. Remove the cup and it automatically resets to looking for a cup again.For me, all of this is great and exactly what I wanted. I like that all the smarts are programmed into the unit with no wireless connection to a phone app that I don’t need or want.I wish it were narrow enough to fit straight between the legs of my Cafelat Robot; it isn’t. However, it works fine on a diagonal. I wish it were a bit less expensive. You can buy a mini scale with a manual timer for under $20, but you’ll have to push (and remember every time to push) the buttons. This scale is built to a much nicer standard. It’s a luxury item for sure, but in the world of espresso where one can easily drop a few thousand on a grinder and machine, it’s a relatively affordable luxury, and it’s quite a bit more affordable than the Lunar or Pyxis. I wish the manual was a little better, but it’s fine. The programming makes the morning routine more enjoyable for me because the auto timer on flow works so much better than me failing to push the timer buttons accurately with my manual scale/timer. So while it’s not perfect for my exact situation, it’s way better than what I had before and I’m thankful this exists to buy. I’m very pleased with it, and I think many home baristas will be pleased with it too.
