Weighing Panels

[coming soon]

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.

Designed for brewing espresso with consistent precision, the reimagined Lunar is fast, responsive, and accurate. This scale is built with water-resistant anodized aluminum and Acaia’s own leading industrial weighing technology. It is an essential element for any commercial environment and fits perfectly onto espresso machines.

FAST, SENSITIVE, AND RESPONSIVE

With the latest weighing technology, the Lunar stabilizes faster during brewing, saving you precious time and creating a smooth workflow.

Brew your own way with customizable parameters, a choice of automated brewing modes, and a new Tare Save feature to save the weight of your preferred dosing container.

REAL-TIME FLOW-RATE INDICATOR

The visual feedback provided by the new Flow Rate Indicator will also help you monitor your extraction in real time, achieving more consistent shots and allowing you to adjust more accurately for perfect espresso extractions.

Accessories that are sold separately include the Lunar Weighing Plate, Lunar Base, and the Lunar Carrying Case. Each Lunar scale comes with a heat-resistant pad and a 100 g calibration weight. The Lunar includes a 2-year limited manufacturer’s warranty, which also covers water damage.

In the Box: Lunar Coffee Scale, Heat Resistant Pad, Non-slip Protective Strip x2, Friction-reduction Protective Strip x2, USB Type-C Charger Cable, Acaia Calibration Weight 100g

Care: Wipe clean with a damp cloth. Do not submerge in water. Keep away from excessive moisture. Use the included heat resistant pad to protect the scale surface during brewing.

Protect your precision scale on the go. Designed exclusively for our Acaia Lunar espresso scale, this case comes with an additional small pocket for holding the 100 g calibration weight and your coffee. It’s a must-have for the coffee enthusiast or barista on the move. 

The minimal and fitted design provides essential protection for your Lunar as you travel and takes up no extra space. This means you can brew a great cup of coffee anywhere while still traveling light.

Please note that while the case provides protection from other objects, sudden accelerations or shocks may still damage your precision scale. Handle any luggage or bag containing sensitive scales with care.

Calibration Reminder

Scale calibration changes with variations in local gravity, surface tilt, and atmospheric conditions. Travel means that all three variables must be considered. We recommend allowing the scale to rest out of its case and in the location it will be used before calibrating and using it after travel.
