The Timemore Basic 3 Scale Weighs What Matters
A gram out of place changes the ratio, and the ratio changes the cup. The Timemore Basic 3 Scale is built to read true under pressure, whether on a café counter or a home brew bar in India.
A Scale That Disappears Into The Workflow
Timemore built the Basic 3 to sit under an espresso portafilter or beside a pour-over dripper without getting in the way. Its shell is 10% more compact than the Basic 2, its surface resists scratches, and its electromagnetic shielding keeps readings stable even next to a running grinder or espresso machine.
Engineered For The Counter
- 0.1g resolution from a 0.2g minimum load — tournament-grade sensitivity
- Three dedicated modes: Manual, Filter and Espresso, each with auto-timer
- Real-time flow rate display for reading pour technique as it happens
- Automatic coffee-to-water ratio calculator removes manual math
- Anti-interference shielding for stable readings under machine vibration
Six Features That Earn Their Place On The Bar
Ultra-Sensitive Sensor
Reads to 0.1g accuracy from a 0.2g minimum load, fine enough for single-dose espresso shots and delicate pour-over pulses.
Three Brewing Modes
Manual, Filter and Espresso modes each carry an auto-timer, so the scale adapts to the method instead of the other way round.
Flow Rate Display
Shows pour speed in real time, letting baristas correct technique mid-pour rather than after the cup is already brewed.
Ratio Calculator
Calculates coffee-to-water ratio automatically, cutting a manual step from every dial-in and every service.
24-Hour Battery
A 1600mAh lithium cell, charged over USB-C, runs a full day of continuous service without a top-up.
Anti-Interference Shield
Electromagnetic shielding keeps the display steady even when seated directly under a vibrating espresso machine.
