The TIMEMORE Black Mirror DOT takes the idea of a coffee scale in a completely different direction.
Instead of adding:
📱 another screen
🔘 more buttons
📦 more bulk
Timemore removed the display entirely.
The result is an ultra-compact coffee scale measuring only:
and weighing just:
without its silicone mat.
Your smartphone becomes the display through the TIMEMORE app, giving you access to:
⚖️ Live weight
⏱️ Brewing time
💧 Real-time Flow Rate
📈 Pour curves
📝 Brew history
☕ Pour-over mode
☕ Espresso mode
📚 Saved recipes
All from a scale small enough to disappear into a travel coffee kit. Dot does conncet with beanstats and Beanconqueror.
Beanstats: Has direct native Bluetooth support for the Timemore Black Mirror Dot. It handles live weight streaming, real-time flow rate tracking, remote taring, and auto-timer features directly from the Dot.
Beanconqueror (Open Protocol Integrations): Third-party apps like Beanconqueror connect using open BLE scale protocols or reverse-engineered Timemore Bluetooth profiles.
This is the feature that defines the DOT.
There is:
Instead, the DOT sends live brewing information to your phone using:
through the TIMEMORE app.
The app can display:
⚖️ Current weight
⏱️ Time
Flow rate
📈 Pour curve
☕ Brewing mode
📝 Stored brewing data
This allows Timemore to keep the hardware exceptionally small while giving you a much larger, clearer interface on a device you already own.
That depends entirely on how you brew.
If you want to:
without reaching for your phone:
If you enjoy:
📊 Brew data
💧 Flow-rate graphs
📝 Recipe logging
📱 App-guided brewing
🎒 Extremely compact equipment
then DOT becomes much more interesting.
This isn't simply:
It's a different workflow.
And we think that distinction should be clear before you buy it.
The DOT measures in:
with a total weighing range from:
That makes it suitable for:
🫘 Coffee doses
☕ Espresso yields
💧 Filter-brew water
✔ AeroPress
💧 V60
🌸 ORIGAMI
🚀 Pulsar
☕ Small servers and cups
One small but important technical distinction.
Timemore specifies:
0.1 g
but that does not mean the scale remains ±0.1 g accurate at every possible load.
Timemore states that DOT is optimised for lighter coffee loads, with its highest precision in the lower part of the range, while maximum-capacity accuracy can deviate more. Their current specification notes up to approximately ±2 g at maximum capacity.
For:
🫘 15 g coffee
☕ 40 g espresso
💧 250 g filter water
the DOT is operating exactly in the kind of range it was designed for.
For:
🍲 weighing a 1.2 kg saucepan
buy a kitchen scale.
This is one of the genuinely useful advantages of using the app.
Instead of only seeing:
you can also observe:
The TIMEMORE app visualises your pour in real time, including pauses between pours and changes in flow rate.
This is particularly useful when learning:
💧 Pour consistency
⭕ Circular pours
🌀 Agitation control
⏱️ Pulse timing
📊 Recipe repeatability
Imagine both brews use:
But:
250 g poured aggressively in a short burst
versus:
250 g delivered slowly and deliberately.
Same total water.
Completely different interaction with the coffee bed.
Flow rate changes:
🌀 Agitation
💧 Bed movement
⏱️ Contact time
☕ Extraction dynamics
The DOT makes that variable visible.
Every pour has a shape.
Timemore lets you see that shape inside the app.
You can identify:
💧 Fast pours
⏸️ Pauses
📉 Slower phases
📈 Sudden flow increases
and compare a successful brew against the next one.
That's much more useful than simply remembering:
Your brews can be saved inside the Timemore ecosystem so you can revisit what happened when a coffee worked particularly well.
For example:
Kenya washed
15.0 g
250 g
94°C
your recorded setting
2:45
stored in the app.
That turns:
into something you can actually investigate.
DOT has dedicated support for pour-over brewing through the TIMEMORE app.
Use it with:
💧 Hario V60
🌸 ORIGAMI
Hario Switch
🚀 NextLevel Pulsar
🔷 Timemore Crystal Eye
☕ Small flat-bottom brewers
and monitor:
⚖️ Weight
⏱️ Time
Flow rate
in one interface.
Despite its tiny size, DOT is great for:
Timemore's app includes a dedicated espresso mode, while the small 80 mm footprint means it can fit under many espresso-machine cup areas more easily than larger filter scales.
Track:
and:
alongside:
⏱️ shot time.
Yes, seeing the flow profile in a live graph and being able to look back at it when you taste or adjust your recipe adds another level. Perfect when you use pressure profiling or flow profiling!
But we would primarily buy it because you want:
📱 App integration
📝 Data logging
🎒 Portability
rather than simply because it is small.
If your espresso workflow is:
a scale with its own built-in display is arguably faster.
If you enjoy tracking extraction data in an app, DOT offers something different.
Dimensions:
That's barely larger than the base of many coffee cups.
Timemore deliberately chose the round platform so that most coffee equipment naturally sits close to the centre of the load cell.
This makes DOT especially useful underneath:
☕ Espresso cups
✔ AeroPress
💧 Compact drippers
🎒 Travel brewers
where counter space is limited.
The DOT itself weighs only:
or approximately:
For travel coffee, that's impressive.
Your bag will probably contain more weight in:
than in:
Timemore includes a dedicated protective travel case.
The case also provides:
🔌 Space for charging cable
🎒 Carabiner-ready attachment loop
🛡️ Protection against other equipment in your bag.
This makes the DOT a much more convincing travel product than a small scale supplied loose in a cardboard box.
A colour-matched silicone mat sits on top of the weighing platform.
It helps provide:
🖐️ Grip
☕ More stable cup placement
💦 Splash protection
🛡️ A removable protective surface
and includes finger holds that make the tiny scale easier to lift.
Coffee brewing involves water.
Sometimes more of it lands on the scale than intended.
DOT is rated:
for resistance against sprays and splashes.
That does not mean:
❌ Waterproof
❌ Submersible
❌ Rinse it under the tap
Timemore explicitly says:
Wipe it clean.
Don't wash it like a plate.
Inside is a:
with approximately:
or around:
on one charge under Timemore's testing conditions.
That's potentially months between charges for a normal home brewer.
DOT charges through:
with approximately:
required for a full recharge.
Timemore specifies using:
and explicitly states that DOT does not support fast charging.
The physical interface is deliberately minimal.
Underneath the scale you'll find:
and:
Press to power on.
Hold to pair.
Everything else happens through the app.
Timemore currently offers the Black Mirror DOT in:
⚫ Black
⚪ White
🟢 Green
🌸 Pink
🔵 Blue
🟡 Yellow.
Each is supplied with a coordinating silicone mat and corresponding travel-case configuration.
Finally:
a coffee scale that doesn't automatically have to be:
black,
white,
or brushed stainless steel.
These two scales can both fit into compact espresso setups, but they have very different philosophies.
Choose it for:
🎒 Maximum portability
📱 App interface
📈 Live flow curves
📝 Brew history
🔵 Bluetooth
🪶 Ultra-low weight
❌ No built-in display
📱 Phone required
Choose it for:
👀 Built-in scale display
☕ Fast standalone espresso use
💧 Standalone pour-over modes
🔘 More conventional operation
📦 Larger
📱 Less dependent on app-driven workflow.
DOT.
Mini.
DOT.
Not DOT.
Simple.
The DOT makes a great companion to a Timemore hand grinder.
Combine:
⚙️ Chestnut grinder
⚖️ DOT
💧 Compact brewer
🫖 Travel kettle
🫘 Fresh coffee
and you have a very capable specialty-coffee kit that fits in a surprisingly small bag.
A scale can tell you:
A proper kettle gives you control over:
Combine DOT with a Timemore Fish gooseneck kettle for better:
💧 Flow control
⭕ Circular pours
🎯 Water placement
🌀 Agitation control.
For an extremely lightweight travel setup, pair the DOT with the Hario V60 Drip Kettle AIR.
Now you have:
⚖️ 50 g scale
💧 lightweight pouring kettle
☕ compact brewer
⚙️ hand grinder
without carrying a large electronic kettle or heavy coffee scale.
The compact platform also works beautifully with:
Use the app to track:
🫘 Coffee dose
💧 Water
⏱️ Steep time
and save recipes for future use.
Particularly useful when experimenting with competition-style AeroPress brewing where tiny changes in:
⚖️ ratio
🌡️ temperature
⏱️ time
can significantly change the cup.
Want a versatile coffee while learning flow-rate control?
Try:
as a filter brew.
Track:
⚖️ 15 g coffee
💧 250 g water
📈 Your pour curve
and experiment with slower versus faster delivery.
Taste the result.
Use DOT's flow data to work with something more delicate:
Try reducing aggressive agitation and compare:
🌸 Aroma
🍑 Fruit
🍯 Sweetness
🍋 Acidity
between pours.
DOT becomes more interesting when you're brewing coffees worth taking notes on.
Try it with:
💎 Guatemala Geisha – Finca Inferno
🍊 Fernando Díaz Orange Bourbon
🍍 Pineapple Express
🌍 Changing WB.coffee microlots.
When you find a recipe that works:
That's the point of collecting data.
Numbers become much more useful when you understand what they represent.

The DOT is a strange product.
And we mean that positively.
Most manufacturers would have made:
Timemore instead asked:
That gives the DOT some genuine advantages:
🪶 50 g
📐 14 mm thick
🎒 Properly travel-friendly
📊 Much richer data on your phone
💧 Live flow-rate tracking.
But there is a genuine trade-off:
We appreciate that Timemore didn't try to hide this.
Their own current product information explicitly states that the app is required because the DOT has no screen.
For the person who says:
“I want the smallest serious scale possible and I like brewing data.”
the DOT is brilliant.
For the person who says:
“I don't want to unlock my phone before making coffee.”
buy another Black Mirror.
There is no universally best coffee scale.
There is only the one that fits your actual workflow.
