The Dot easily connects to your smartphone via Bluetooth and the Timemore App. From there, you can track precise weight in increments as small as 0.1g, manage the timer with automatic taring and multiple brew modes, and monitor your flow rate with live brewing curves, perfect for the coffee lover who also loves data.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith its slim profile and compact surface area, the Dot takes up very little space and comes with a hard carry case, making it easy to pack away or slip into your pocket.

It boasts an impressive 1,200g maximum capacity and is powered by a rechargeable 300mAh li-ion battery with a water-resistant USB-C charging port. The Dot is fully-enclosed and IPX3-rated, meaning stray drops of espresso or a splash of water won't affect it, just don't submerge the entire unit.
