TIMEMORE Black Mirror Basic 2 Coffee Scale with Timer & Flow Rate

Less guessing. More repeatable coffee.

The TIMEMORE Black Mirror Basic 2 is a rechargeable digital coffee scale for pour-over and espresso, with a 0.1g readout, a 2,000g maximum capacity, a built-in timer, and flow rate measurement. It helps you keep track of how much coffee and water you’re using, how long your brew takes, and how quickly you’re pouring.

If your coffee tastes great one morning and completely different the next, measuring is a good place to start. A scoop can get you in the neighborhood. A scale gives you a recipe you can come back to. You don’t have to turn breakfast into a science project; you just need a way to repeat what worked.

What the features actually do

• 0.1g readout: Shows weight in tenths of a gram, helping you make small adjustments to your coffee dose or track espresso yield.
• 2kg maximum capacity: Accommodates a brewing setup up to 2,000g total. Count the brewer, server, coffee, and water toward that limit, even after taring.
• Built-in timer: Keeps brew time alongside weight so you can follow both without reaching for your phone.
• Automatic timing: Starts timing when it detects a change in weight in the appropriate mode, helping simplify your brewing routine.
• Flow rate measurement: Shows how quickly weight is increasing as you pour. It’s useful feedback when you’re trying to keep a steady pour rather than alternating between a trickle and a flood.
• USB-C charging: A rechargeable 1,600mAh battery means you can recharge the scale instead of replacing disposable batteries.
• Hidden LED display: Illuminated readings are visible during use, while the display blends into the black surface when switched off.
• Silicone pad: Adds grip beneath your brewing vessel.

For pour-over coffee

Place your server and dripper on the scale, prepare your filter, and tare to zero before weighing your coffee. Tare again before adding water. Follow your chosen recipe while watching the total water weight, brew time, and flow rate.

The flow rate feature is especially helpful when you’re learning a gooseneck kettle. You can see whether your pour is steady and practice repeating it. Keep your dose and water amount consistent, then adjust your grind or technique one step at a time.

For espresso

Use the scale to weigh your ground-coffee dose and the espresso in your cup. Tracking dose, yield, and time gives you a clearer starting point for dialing in a shot than judging by cup volume alone. Check the scale’s footprint and the clearance beneath your machine’s spouts before choosing it for a drip tray.
