THE ESSENTIALS

The 2.0 edition of the April Plastic Brewer. Made of improved plastic Makrolon®, the April plastic brewers keeps the brewing temperature more stable, enabling more consistency in the brewing process.

Features:

The bottom of the April Brewer features three "Filter Holder" wedges that hold your paper filter in place. This elevates the filter and enables a fast drawdown. The result is a perfectly balanced, transparent, and reliable taste experience.

The circular lines along the wall of the brewer allow more air pockets to be formed; enabling more air circulation. This helps brew consistency and enabling a cleaner, more transparent tasting cup.

FDA-approved Polycarbonate, Makrolon® has high thermo stability, enable you to maintain a consistent brewing temperature. 

As a safety precaution, all filters are final sale and not returnable.

What is the difference from the original version? 

• FDA-approved Polycarbonate, Makrolon® 2456 550115. This has increased the weight of the brewer by 7g and improved its ability to maintain a consistent brewing temperature. 
  
  
• Otherwise, the design is the same.

The TIMEMORE Black Mirror Basic 3 is the newest and most refined scale in the Timemore lineup. Lighter, thinner, and wider than its predecessor, the Basic 3 retains everything that made the Basic 2 a workhorse and builds meaningfully on it. With improved weighing sensitivity, a brew ratio calculator, static shielding, and dedicated physical controls, this scale is built for brewers who want every data point without the friction.

DESIGN AND BUILD

The Basic 3 arrives in a redesigned outer shell that is lighter, thinner, and wider than the Basic 2. A single forged top shell pairs with a precision-fit silicone gasket for IPX3-certified splash resistance, keeping moisture out during brewing. The matte surface resists fingerprints, and the included dual-function silicone pad supports both pourover brewing and espresso portafilter use.

CONTROLS AND DISPLAY

Where older generation scales relied on a single button to cycle through modes, the Basic 3 introduces three dedicated physical controls: a combined Mode/Power button, a Timer button, and a Tare button. Each does exactly one job, so there is no cycling through functions mid-service. The bright LED display shows all your data at a glance and is easy to read even in well-lit environments. The display is fully invisible while powered off, and the scale supports up to 24 hours of continuous use while plugged in and charging.

WEIGHING ACCURACY AND STATIC SHIELDING

At the heart of the Basic 3 is a high-precision pressure sensor developed in-house at Timemore. It detects weights as low as 0.2g, down from the Basic 2's 0.5g minimum, with 0.1g accuracy maintained even under heavier loads. The Basic 3 also introduces an advanced static shield that neutralizes interference from magnetic grinder vessels, a limitation of the previous generation that affected accuracy and slowed down workflow.

BREW DATA, FLOW RATE, AND RATIO CALCULATOR

The Basic 3 carries over the real-time flow rate display from the Basic 2, showing flow in 1/10ml per second for live feedback on your pour pace. New to the Basic 3 is a built-in brew ratio calculator, adding assisted ratio calculation on top of the flow rate display and giving you a complete picture of your brew from start to finish.

TIMER AND AUTO SHUTOFF

The weight-triggered auto timer, carried over from the Basic 2, starts the moment liquid hits your vessel, removing one more manual step from your routine. When your session is done, the scale powers down automatically after 15 minutes of timer inactivity or 3 minutes of total inactivity, keeping battery life in check between brews.

BATTERY LIFE

The Basic 3 runs on a 1600mAh rechargeable lithium-ion battery, good for approximately 280 five-minute pourovers on a single charge. Charging to full takes around 3.5 hours via USB-C. Use a 5V 1A-2A adapter; do not use a fast charger.

WHAT'S INCLUDED

One TIMEMORE Black Mirror Basic 3 Scale, dual-function silicone pad that is both pourover and portafilter compatible, and USB-C charging cable.
