Timemore Basic Coffee Scale

The Basic Mini is significantly more compact, designed specifically to fit comfortably on the drip tray of most espresso machines. While it retains the core functionality and responsiveness of the larger model, its smaller footprint makes it much easier to maneuver in tight spaces or pack for travel.

While its size is optimized for espresso setups, it works perfectly well for pour-over brewing. The surface area is large enough to accommodate most standard drippers and carafes, though you may find it slightly less spacious than a full-sized kitchen scale.

Yes, it features an integrated timer that allows you to track your brew time alongside the weight. You can easily start, pause, and reset the timer using the dedicated touch-sensitive buttons on the front panel.

The scale is designed for high-speed response, which is crucial for espresso brewing where flow rates change quickly. It updates the weight reading rapidly, allowing you to stop your shot at the exact moment you reach your target yield.

The scale features a matte, water-resistant surface that is easy to wipe clean. However, it is not waterproof, so you should avoid submerging it or allowing large amounts of liquid to pool on the display area.
