The Timemore Mirror Basic 2 Reads Every Gram, Every Second
Inconsistent dosing ruins consistent brewing — a scale that lags behind your pour or your shot timer throws off the whole recipe. The Timemore Mirror Basic 2 closes that gap with a rebuilt chip and PCB for readings that keep pace with fast extractions and slow pour-overs alike.
Built Around the Barista Workflow
Every dimension on the Mirror Basic 2 is sized for a working station, not a display shelf. At 152mm x 130mm x 26mm, it slides under most espresso machine drip trays without crowding the group head, and the waterproof, heat-resistant silicone pad shields the base from spills and hot portafilters.
