The Timemore Black Mirror Basic 2 is a coffee scale designed especially for pour over brewing and espresso. The matt black plastic shell is carefully finished, and the display stays hidden until you touch the panel. The result is understated, stylish kit that you will happily leave out on display.
The Basic 2 measures 152 x 130 x 26 mm. It is sized so that a dripper on its server, a Chemex or an AeroPress fits on top with ease. At 0,55 kg it is also easy to take with you. Accuracy is 0,1 grams and maximum load 2000 grams, so the scale works with almost any brewer.
What sets the Basic 2 apart from basic scales above all is its flow rate meter. It shows your pouring speed in grams per second in real time. This keeps your pouring technique more consistent from brew to brew, even if you do not yet have much experience. The updated hardware also reacts to changes in weight faster than the previous version.
The automatic timer starts as soon as the scale detects weight. So there is no need to start the timer separately, and your hands stay free. The 1600 mAh battery lasts about 24 hours of use. It charges via a USB-C cable, so no separate batteries are needed. The scale switches off automatically three minutes after you stop using it.
The Timemore Black Mirror Basic 2 is excellent for home use, but also for a café or office. It is a good choice for enthusiasts who want to follow their brewing more closely without complicated settings, while being precise enough for those who already take extraction seriously. Everything you need is in the box: the scale, a USB-C cable and a silicone heat-resistant pad.
Here at Haimoo Roastery we especially recommend this scale for pour over beginners and more advanced users alike. Above all, the flow rate meter makes your brewing more consistent. The result is a more evenly extracted cup whose acidity and flavour stay under control.
