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.

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 \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/capecoffeebeans.co.za\/collections\/cups-mugs-glasses\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"View our serving ware\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003ecup\u003c\/a\u003e.
