2026 Timemore Black Mirror Basic 3 Scale – Black | Precision Coffee Scale | The Golden Brewing

The Ultimate Hybrid Scale: Faster, Slimmer, and Smarter.

The Timemore Black Mirror Basic 3 Scale takes everything you loved about the best-selling Basic 2 and refines it into a sleeker, more powerful tool. Designed for the multi-method brewer, the Basic 3 features a 35% thinner profile and a 10% smaller footprint, making it the perfect fit for both cramped espresso drip trays and expansive pour-over stations.

With upgraded sensors that detect as little as 0.2g and a lightning-fast "Acaia-level" refresh rate, the Basic 3 eliminates the lag that leads to over-extracted shots or messy pours.
