TinyTonino in Town
There's a new and very nifty Tonino device to measure the roast color of your cofee. It is small enough to fit inside a standard portafilter basket and it works wirelessly using its internbal battery that also charges wirelessly when the device sits on its base station. TinyTonino can be loaded with its own Tonino scale, the Agtron scale and others. See also: my-tonino.com

Using the app on my laptop, I told the Tonino I aim for #95 as my roast color. Testing this on a spot of my wooden desk, Tonino reports that if it were coffee, it would be "heavy" and 42 points below target at Tonino #53 ;-)
One fun tip: try to wake up this Tonino when it is dark in the room. It sleeps when it is dark! When you think of it, this makes perfect sense because you do not want the device to wake up and start displaying information when you travel with it in a bag or when it is in a parcel on its way to you. Then the internal battery would be exhausted. Inside the parcel and inside your bag it will be dark in its box, so motion (shaking, bumping) won't wake it up. In a lighted room, when you pick it up, it senses this motion and it becomes active.
