Anyone weighing doses for pour-over or espresso who wants repeatable recipes.
Think twice if

Overview
A scale is the most useful upgrade in coffee because it turns "that tasted good" into a recipe you can repeat. The Black Mirror Basic 2.0 reads to 0.1 g, enough for weighing an espresso dose, and holds up to 2 kg for a full pour-over with its carafe.
The timer starts on its own when you start pouring, so you aren't fumbling with buttons, and the flow-rate reading shows whether you are pouring too fast. That is especially helpful with a V60 and a gooseneck kettle.
For espresso, weigh your beans before grinding and your shot as it pours, whether you use a Bambino Plus or a Barista Express.

Compatibility & maintenance
Works for pour-over, drip and espresso. Measure the space under your espresso machine's spouts before buying; at 26 mm thick it fits many drip trays, but not every one.
Recharge over USB-C (built-in 1,600 mAh battery). Wipe it with a damp cloth; never submerge it. The silicone pad lifts off for washing.
