GOOD THINGS COME IN MINI PACKAGES
The Timemore Black Mirror Mini is a feature-rich and affordable coffee scale with a reduced footprint. Sharing the same straightforward, clean, design aesthetic as the Black Mirror BASIC, the Mini's smaller footprint is ideal for travel and fits comfortably on espresso machine drip trays (and the pocket of your jeans).
At just under 16mm (0.63in) thick and weighing less than 200g (7.1oz), the Black Mirror Mini, is easy to carry and easy to fit on the smallest of brew bars or directly on the drip tray of an espresso machine. Use the included heat-resistant, silicone pad, with its thoughfully designed drainage grooves and portafilter holder on the reverse side, to protect the Mini from spills and scratches.
Like its bigger sibling the Black Mirror BASIC, the Mini has all the features you want like - increased accuracy and responsiveness, a physical power switch, textured buttons, weight-detecting auto-timer, the ability to switch between grams and ounces and flow rate monitoring, to give you more feedback, and more control over your brewing.
With both pourover and espresso timing modes, and a battery that can run up to 20 hours on a single charge, the Black Mirror Mini is a great tool for home, on the road and in the cafe.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need barista experience to join?
No prior barista experience is required. We’ll teach you everything from espresso setup and milk steaming to workflow and service. If you already have barista skills, this course will help you refine them and apply them in the context of ownership and operations.
Is this course only for people who want to open a coffee shop?
While the course is focused on café ownership, many of the skills—like menu costing, team onboarding, workflow design, and customer experience—are highly valuable for managers, trainers, and professionals working in coffee or hospitality settings.
How many people will be in the course?
Class sizes are kept small (6 students max.) to ensure a hands-on, high-touch learning experience. This allows for real-time feedback, personalized instruction, and plenty of time on equipment.
Do I get a certificate?
Yes. All students receive a Timberline Coffee School Certificate of Completion at the end of the course.
Yes. You’ll get a clear breakdown of startup costs, sample budgets, menu pricing strategies, business plan templates, and tools to forecast your breakeven point and plan for profitability.
Not at all. This course is designed to help you create your own unique coffee shop. You’ll learn how to develop your own concept, brand identity, and operational systems—no cookie-cutter business models here.
What do I need to bring?
Just yourself, a notebook, and a willingness to learn. We’ll provide everything else, including equipment, tools, tasting supplies, and printed resources.
Where is the course held?
The course takes place at Timberline Coffee School in Calgary, Alberta. Directions and preparation details will be sent upon registration.
What if I have dietary restrictions?
We will send you a pre-course email before your course where we ask for any dietary restrictions you may have so that we can work to accommodate for them when ordering snacks and lunch.
