@Black Cat Coffee any idea when this will be back in stock again?
I ordered the black mirror scale from Amazon. Took about 2.5 weeks to arrive from China. Relatively quick delivery... This is the 2020 model with the auto timer. Really great scale.

If you look around there is also a white version - amazon/ebay.

I ordered this dust cover to cover the usb C port in case any spills drops down. Have taped it for now until it arrives.

Thanks! I saw this when I was looking around but was not sure if it was the genuine article and the newest model. All good with it so far?

Yes all good, I believe it comes with 1 year warranty. Really like the black version.

Easy to use once you get the hang of it.

Why on earth people would buy the lunar etc scales over this is beyond me.....

I once accidentally managed to make it stop counting and freeze the display with the total time and weight... any idea how I can repeat that?
The manual says in auto timer mode the timer and weight will freeze once weight is removed / lifted from the scale, but this only happens if the timer goes on longer than 40 seconds, otherwise it will not retain the data.
 
@Rumpelstiltskin did you find any hidden features?
No i'm afraid...the "extra" connector was there for an another "load cell".......so it's more than likely hidden in the software to enable the extra's....i will be digging deeper at some point when i'm bored.
 
Just asked this in another thread so please ignore if you've already seen this:

I'd be interested to hear from owners of the Timemore Black Mirror if they can operate while overhanging a drip tray. My Zaffiro has a fairly large drip tray but the E61 group protrudes too low for the inch or so height of a Black Mirror to go under it. I'd imagine up to an inch of the scales would end up protruding over the edge. It works with my existing two-Bob-slider scales but they're on their last legs.

I'm looking at getting a set for my Christmas!

thanks. handle is considerably off the edge in that shot, are readings reliable ? From tip of grouphead to end of handle of my portafilter is quite long, must be 175mm, so it wd be off platform.
Yes, it's reliable... As long as you put the heavy part in the middle the length doesn't matter. Even then i think the scale would weigh it accurately...

The handle part doesn't have much weight to it. This is the official lelit bottomless pf. For dimensions check the website for the black mirror scale.

I have not seen a scale long enough to "fit" a whole pf including the handle part. I don't think it would add any benefits, only cause inconvenience.

I have tiny scales that are maybe half the size of the Black Mirror. I have an aluminium plate with some foam strips to hold the portafilter. This was something I was sent by the ever helpful@Snakehips although I'm not suggesting he's a source of these things.
