It's 25% lighter and 35% smaller than the Basic 2. It adds dedicated Pour-Over and Espresso modes, a live brew ratio readout and electromagnetic shielding, so you get steadier readings and a faster workflow at the brew bar or on the drip tray.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eAt just 20mm tall, the Basic 3 fits under most home espresso machines.
