An affordable alternative to the Acaia Lunar scale. Description from the item page:
Black Mirror Nano is the first espresso-focussed scales offered by Timemore to be released in 2021. The feature-packed coffee scale is simple and sharp in design. Easily fitting between the drip tray and portafilter of all popular consumer machines.
With all the creature comforts and features of the all-too-popular Black Mirror Plus but now with a slender footprint and standing just 2cm tall which is perfect for espresso brewing at home, or at a busy coffee bar.
Flow rate? Yes, a small press of the flow rate button on the side gives an real-time readout of the flow rate, a feature that has only since been available on the flagship Black Mirror 2
Reinforced internals with an aluminium skeleton elevates the build quality yet still unmatched for value in this space.
