The Timemore Black Mirror Basic+ scale is a modern electronic scale for pour-over brewing methods. It's ideal for home bartenders and professionals working in busy venues. Among its advantages, we can mention time and weight control, wired charging and unique design.
Design:
Minimalist, elegant and modern, with high quality materials and attention to every detail. The body is made of smooth, matte black plastic - the data is invisible until you touch the panel to illuminate it. The top of the scale is water resistant (the charging port is not).
The dimensions (150mm x 130mm x 26mm) are perfect for pour-over brewing methods. You can easily insert a Chemex, a dripper server or an AeroPress.
Characteristics:
The time and weight are displayed on the LCD screen hidden beneath the panel surface. The Black Mirror has a built-in sensor that indicates the total weight of water added. The accuracy of 0.1g and the maximum capacity of 2000g allow it to be used with different coffee brewing devices. The scale is operated with two buttons on the touch panel. The battery display shows the battery status. The device turns off automatically after 5 minutes of inactivity.
Other:
Charging via USB-C is another advantage of the scale. Eliminate the battery problem. The new version also has an automatic timer: when you start pouring, the timer goes into operation.
The package includes:
- Timemore Black Mirror
- USB-C cable
