![Reviewing Timemore's 2024 products! [Timemore S3, Mini Scale, Fish Smart Pro Kettle]](/img/n.gif)
Great video. Just a little flaw: In Auto-timing mode, Only when the brewing is longer than 40 seconds, the timer will automatically stop when the kettle is removed (sudden weight decrease). The first 40 seconds do not count because some people have personal brewing habits such as Rao Spin or stirring with a spoon (which makes the weight change).
very helpful. Thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for the in depth review! I’m getting the mini now
You're welcome
Very helpful video. Do you guys do calibration for the Timemore scales ? I think my Basic+ one may be out. Thanks!
Nice review!
Can the TIMEMORE MINI SCALE be used under Staresso Mirage SP300 holder?
Thanks
Which is better for putting a portafilter on?
Appreciate this! Gonna go for the Mini as I can currently get it for ~$45.
Nice!
The first basic+ model already had the on/off switch.
What happened to the Espresso Mode? The demonstration was cut off before we found out whether or not the timer stops automatically when the shot stops.
Hi there so sorry for the mistake in editing. Yes the timer does stop when shot stops
Thank you... What would you estimate the shipping to be?
The website will automatically calculate the cost but I would image it would be too expensive. Thanks for enquiring tho
Thanks for the review. Is the 2.0 basically the same as the pro?
Yup it's pretty much the same but with a lower price tag
Does the basic 2 also have the espresso mode, pour over mode and neutral mode?
Yup it does.
Since the basic 2 has a bigger battery, does it last longer than the mini?
We have not tested it side by side on the battery life. But we would assume that it will last longer
Can I purchase the 2024 Mini version on your website? Located in US..
Hi you could but the shipping would be pretty expensive. Might be better to wait a little to see if someone woudk start selling them in the US
uhhhh thanks for this but can't believe you didn't do a comparison of the mini vs nano!
ha! yes yes, we will do another video about it, we realized that is super important.
Yeah, I would wish for a comparison with the Nano too!
im confused about the auto timer. I have seen models which stop counting when the brewer is removed, which is what i dont want. can anyone confirm?
Hi there it's a bit fidghty. It does spot counting after brewer is removed. But you'll just have to use the regular mode and that should be good
also, does the mini remember what mode it was in or you have to press to get into it every time you turn it on?
@S0liD4CE it stays on the more that you were last in
thanks!
@S0liD4CE no problem hope to helps!
Will the mini fit underneath a Flair classic?
Yup it definitely does
@@hisbrewcoffee thanks for confirming. I look forward to receiving it soon!
@@hisbrewcoffee Unfortunately it does NOT fit underneath the Flair Classic / Neo. this is really disappointing.
Did you get the mini or the basic?
@@hisbrewcoffee It was the mini. If I use the drip tray, it'll fit, but the scale will not be properly balanced and give a false reading.
how does the mini compare to the nano?
We prefer the mini
I've been using cheap scales that are maybe off by plus minus 0.3 grams with no flow rate.
I'm buying the Mini since I want to use the same scale for travel, and every inch gram of weight counts!
That's a worthy upgrade!
is basic 2 have good lifespan?
We don't know yet as it's newly released just a month or 2 back. But if it's anything like their basic plus model then it should last pretty long time
Should I get the 2.0 or the Plus for pour over?
I purchased the Basic Pro in April 2023, but it stopped working in September of the same year. The authorized reseller replaced it with the same model but with an upgraded chip in October 2023. It stopped working again a few weeks ago. I only make 1-2 espresso cups daily, the scale is always dry, and I'm not a heavy user at all. I'm quite disappointed with the product. I just ordered an MHW scale. I hope it won't have the same issue.
Hi there so sorry to hear that. Yes the pro is known for its issues I think that's why timemore discontinued it.
We had the basic and basic plus and it never stopped working till now it's been 3 years. We took the returned timemore pro as we are authorized resellers too and found out that the issue had to do with the connectivity of the on off switch. So we by pass the switch and fingers crossed it's been working okay so far.
Which one do you recommend basic 2 or mini ?
If you want something applicable for mat use cases get the mini
I found it on ali expires at 45$ is it real or fake?
Can't really say to be honest
I saw same on AliExpress. Doesn't look the same
Timemore hq do not do aftersales service they do not sell any parts for you to do repairs, their board is a arduino copy and their weight sensor isn't of standard size, mine started drafting just after a yr I was lucky to have found same length sensor but different height did a bit of mod and recalibrate it works. TBH I would not get Timemore agn. The aftersales support sucks !
It really depends on which country you are in. As timemore does not officially do their after sales, instead they rely on their distributors
You ever heard of a store warranty?
TLDR; Product lasted 5 months, customer service does not even reply.
I purchased the Timemore Pro scale. Living in Germany, there is basically no customer service for this product. I would never buy Timemore again.
I am posting this under every review of this product.
The place where you bought from should be getting back to you. Timemore is pretty good in replacement.
Their Pro scale definitely has issues. We already have had a couple returns. I feel that that is why they discontinued the Pro series
@@hisbrewcoffee
Thanks for the reassuring reply. I keep my fingers crossed that they reply = )
Очень качественный обзор, без воды
