Since being founded in 2012, Timemore's coffee tools have taken the global coffee industry by storm, building a strong reputation for minimalist industrial design and high-precision engineering. Co-founded in Shanghai by product designers and mechanical engineers who share a deep love for coffee, Timemore deftly bridges the gap between entry-level gear and premium commercial tools. From its legendary Chestnut manual grinders and Sculptor electric line, to its elegant gooseneck kettles and drippers, Timemore's equipment is trusted by professional baristas and passionate home brewers alike.

Achieving balance and repeatability in your cup, whether you are tweaking extraction, intensity, or flavour profiles, requires you to reliably measure and adjust your brew time and brew ratio. That is why a dedicated coffee scale is a necessity for any brewer seeking consistency and repeatability. Timemore's range of Black Mirror Basic scales empowers you to not only follow your favourite recipes but also to experiment and optimise your extractions, for any brew method.

About the Timemore Black Mirror Basic+ 3.0 Coffee Scale

Despite the name, the Timemore Black Mirror Basic+ 3.0 should not be considered basic. It packs in all the essential fundamentals you need for highly accurate brewing: an easy-to-read LED display, built-in timer, 0.1g precision, and 2kg capacity, alongside a few impressively practical extras such as displaying live flow rates. We have enjoyed using Timemore's scales for their rapid responses, intuitive feature sets, and elegant finishes. Now, it has raised the bar yet again by equipping its scales with dedicated timer modes to remove the guesswork for both espresso and pour-over recipes.

Not only is the Timemore Black Mirror Basic+ 3.0 lighter and slimmer than previous generations, but it also introduces advanced tech that speaks directly to the practical needs of brewers, both at home and in a busy café setting.

Using the multifunction slider on the side, you can quickly flick between three distinct brewing modes: standard, pour-over, or espresso. In pour-over mode, rinse your filter, place your dripper and server on the scale, and add your coffee grounds. With one tap of the ratio button, the Basic+ 3.0 logs your dose and starts displaying your live brew ratio in real time once you pour. Press the timer button for a helpful 3-second countdown, or just start pouring water to let the auto-timer kick off automatically. If you are pulling shots, espresso mode offers a time-saving auto-tare feature paired with an automatic shot timer that triggers the moment the first drops of extraction hit your cup. Use the Basic+ 3.0 in standard mode for manual operations.

Inside, the Timemore Black Mirror Basic+ 3.0 scale comes equipped with a high-precision load cell that is thoughtfully shielded against interference from magnetised coffee tools, minimising interruptions to your morning workflow. For long, uninterrupted brewing sessions, the 1600mAh rechargeable battery gives you about 24 hours of total screen time and charges via a USB-C port. The charging port includes a trusty silicone plug, giving you peace of mind by keeping accidental spills from getting inside.
