Description
xThe TIMEMORE Black Mirror Basic 3 is an ultra-thin digital coffee scale with 0.1g precision, an integrated timer, and three brewing modes designed for consistent espresso, pour-over, and general kitchen use.
Whether you brew single-origin espresso at home or follow exact recipes for baking, the Basic 3 combines high accuracy, a compact footprint, and smart brewing features. Its streamlined Black Mirror design houses a rechargeable 1600mAh battery, USB-C charging, and three user-friendly modes that remove guesswork from dose and ratio decisions. The scale is built to handle tiny increments and large totals alike, so it suits both precision coffee and everyday cooking tasks.
How does the Basic 3 improve my espresso and pour-over routines?
The Basic 3 offers purpose-built modes for Regular, Pour-Over, and Espresso that adapt the display and functions to your workflow. A water-to-coffee ratio calculator in Regular and Pour-Over modes gives live guidance as you pour, helping you hit target brew ratios without needing a separate app or chart.
- Real-time weight and timer display for shot or bloom tracking.
- Built-in ratio calculator for quick dose adjustments.
- Espresso mode tuned for fast, high-resolution readouts during shots.
What level of accuracy and capacity can I expect?
The Basic 3 uses a high-precision sensor that measures from 0.2g up to 2000g with 0.1g resolution, making it accurate enough for single-bean adjustments and large-scale recipes. This accuracy ensures repeatable results whether you're dialing in a grind or following a baking formula.
- 0.1g resolution for micro-measurements and consistent dosing.
- Maximum capacity 2000g for cups, bowls, or small pans.
- Stable readings and tare function for multi-step recipes.
Is the Basic 3 portable and convenient for everyday use?
The Basic 3 streamlines portability with a thinner, lighter profile than previous Black Mirror models—about 300g and noticeably more compact—so it fits easily into drawers, bags, and travel kits. A rechargeable 1600mAh battery provides extended cordless runtime, and USB-C charging simplifies powering up between uses.
- Slim dimensions (15.2 × 13 × 2.6 cm) for easy storage and travel.
- Up to 24 hours of typical runtime on a single charge.
- USB-C charging avoids disposable batteries and speeds recharge.
How does the Basic 3 fit into a busy kitchen beyond coffee?
Although optimized for coffee, this scale is built for broader kitchen tasks: accurate portioning, baking measurements, and meal prep benefit from its precision and large capacity. The glass top is simple to wipe clean, and intuitive touch controls make switching modes fast when you move from coffee to cooking.
- Large glass platform for cups, bowls, and small pans.
- Touch controls with clear display for quick mode changes.
- Easy-to-clean surface and durable construction for daily use.
