This is good news because it means that you can probably get away with one affordable device. It’s 5.98in x 5.1in x 1.02in, which means that it’s somewhere between the Pearl and Lunar. In terms of size, the Timemore gets another point in my book. At this point, it’s almost becoming a coffee cliche. We have come to a point where it’s impossible to open Instagram without seeing carefully curated images of a nonchalant Pearl with a Chemex or Kalita Tsubame on top. However, the Timemore scale seems less familiar, which is a good thing if you ask me. The Chinese rival has a more futuristic design with sharp edges. The Acaia scales rely on a design language heavily inspired by early-noughties Apple products like the plastic MacBooks and first generations of iPods. While I objectively think that those scales still have a slight edge in terms of pure design language and small details, the Black Mirror is not trailing far behind. ![]() The obvious comparison when it comes to design is, of course, the Acaia Pearl and Lunar models. The Black Mirror is big enough for manual brewing, while also being able to fit on the drip tray of many espresso machines due to its slimmer design. In spite of the name, there’s also a white model available. When it’s turned off, it becomes invisible, so the whole device is just a minimalist black square. The display panel is straightforward and easy to read. The first thing people will notice about the Black Mirror scale is that it’s a beautiful thing. □ Pro Tip: Timemore also recently launched an espresso scale called Black Mirror Nano – make sure to check out my review of that one! The scale has the ideal for pour over brewing, but it can still fit on larger drip trays Design
