Timemore - Black Mirror Basic 3 Scale

Timemore Black Mirror Basic 3 Coffee Scale

Smarter. Smaller. Faster. The next generation of precision coffee brewing.

The Timemore Black Mirror Basic 3 is the latest evolution of one of the world's most popular coffee scales.

Coffee Omakase – The Ultimate Coffee Tasting Experience ☕

For the curious, the connoisseurs, and everyone who knows coffee can be more.

Have you ever walked out of a café disappointed — knowing your cup could have been so much better?

Then this experience is for you.

The Coffee Omakase @ Amsterdam Coffee Lab is a guided, multi-course coffee tasting designed for specialty coffee enthusiasts, flavor explorers, and curious coffee lovers alike.

Each session is unique, interactive, and bursting with discovery — like a live culinary performance, but for coffee.

What to Expect

During this exclusive sensory journey, you’ll:

☕ Taste a curated lineup of exceptional coffees — washed, natural, and experimental processing methods (think anaerobic, co-ferment, honey, and even wild fermentation projects).

🌸 Experience rare varietals — including legendary coffees like Geisha, and other micro-lot gems from around the world.

🔬 Explore multiple brew styles — from delicate filter brews and bold espressi to the mesmerizing syphon method.

🥄 Try your hand at cupping — slurp and taste coffee like a professional taster, discovering aromas and acidity in new ways.

🍹 Enjoy surprising coffee mocktails — creative and refreshing, crafted from the same beans you’ll taste in the lineup.

👃 Engage your senses fully — experience how the aroma, cup shape, color, and even the sound of pouring influence your flavor perception.

A Guided Journey by the CoffeeNose 👃

Led by Wouter Brunia, also known as the CoffeeNose 👃, this tasting is a deep dive into coffee flavor and sensory science.

Like a sommelier presenting fine wines, Wouter will:

• Brew each coffee live with expert precision
• Share the stories of each bean — from farm to fermentation
• Explain flavor notes, processing methods, and varietal differences
• Help you understand why your favorite coffee tastes the way it does

It’s fun for your brain, taste buds, and nose — and you’ll leave with a new appreciation for what’s in your cup.

Each Omakase is Unique

No two tastings are ever the same.

Our coffees rotate constantly and often include exclusive lots — such as Geisha, co-fermented experiments, and rare micro-lots you won’t find in cafés.

Every visit promises something unexpected, thought-provoking, and delicious.

Who It’s For

• Specialty coffee geeks craving depth and discovery
• Curious coffee lovers ready to learn (and taste!) something new
• Couples and friends looking for a unique sensory experience
• Anyone who wants to fall in love with coffee all over again
