Scales are a fantastic addition to a home coffee or espresso. They add an additional level of precision and consistency that you otherwise wouldn’t get while brewing. However, different scales shine in different use cases, so we've broken down our catalog, scale by scale, to share the highlights and pitfalls of each scale and help you determine what scale is right for your needs!

After having the Timemore Black Mirror Nano for nearly a year, I cannot recommend it. 50% of the time, the scale glitches out and starts to drift, which should be a dealbreaker out of the gate. But to make matters worse, the controls are very unergonomic since the capacitive buttons are on the side. That means any time you pick it up, you're prone to hit a button by accident. And the lack of waterproofing means you have to baby it, which is not something you want to worry about with a $90 scale. Really its only redeeming qualities are its looks and responsiveness, but it feels like Timemore really needs to hone in on the fundamentals.

with the normal one, mine also drifts up to like 0.3 grams. sometimes, i also need to push the button 2 or 3 times before it responds (even though it beeps every time)

@@mikepanton When I got my Tally Pro by Fellow, the displayed weight was drifting, dropping .1 gram every 4 - 6 seconds. At first I was pissed after spending so much money. But then I noticed it only happened when I poured hot water into my Clever and realized the drop in weight was from evaporation. LOL

@@mikepanton 0.3 grams is less than one bean so that's no big deal, as long as it doesn't get progressively worse. But if it's still under warranty, I'd ask for a replacement. I think I paid around $120 for the Tally Pro during Whole Latte Love's Cyber Monday sale. After reading a lot of customer reviews on Amazon for less expensive scales, I decided to bite the bullet and spend a bit extra on something that will hopefully be problem-free for the next few years.

Touch on scales is fine. Try driving a newer car, that’s a real hazard

Do any of these have a timer which counts down as opposed to up? And when it runs out, it beeps?

Unfortunately no, every scale we know of counts up.
