Who it's for
The Basic 2 suits anyone who weighs daily: on the kitchen counter, next to the espresso machine. The larger display and longer battery life (10h vs. Mini's 760mAh) make it an all-rounder. Anyone who wants to measure flow rate and visualize water flow chooses the Black Mirror DUO with adjustable dripper ring and dual display.

With the Basic 2 in everyday use: work with Cozy Chocolate at a 1:2 ratio (e.g. 18 g beans, 36 g water for espresso). That's our recommendation, one of many.
