Acaia calls this scale "the only scale you'll ever need to make delicious coffee." And indeed, the Pearl proves itself a true all-rounder: Baristas love it for measuring grind doses, as the entire portafilter fits on the scale and its ultra-fast response time allows for efficient work. Filter coffee brewers also appreciate the integrated stopwatch and the Bluetooth connection to the Acaia mobile apps for recording extraction values ​​and pouring speed. Measurement increments: 0.1g up to a maximum of 2kg. Includes USB charging cable and protective mat.

The 2021 version features new user modes, including a "Portafilter Mode," and a real-time flow rate display. Battery life has also been improved, and response and startup times have been accelerated.

Precision in the cup – Why an Acaia espresso scale makes the difference

Why a precise espresso scale is crucial

In espresso preparation, every tenth of a gram determines the taste, consistency, and balance. A minimal deviation in weighing the coffee grounds or extraction volume can change the shot – from balanced to over-extracted or under-extracted.

That's why baristas worldwide trust Acaia espresso scales , available at the Coffee Coaching Club . Each scale is calibrated by hand to ensure the highest accuracy and absolute measurement stability – a quality standard that sets benchmarks in the industry.

Acaia scales compared: Lunar & Pearl

Model	Measuring range	Deviation (0–500 g)	Special feature	Ideal for
Acaia Lunar	0–500 g	±0.05 g	Hand-calibrated, aluminum case	Espresso machine
Acaia Pearl	0–500 g	±0.2 g	Hand-calibrated, large display	Filter coffee, Brew Bar
Standard scale (other brand)	0–500 g	±0.5 g	Serial calibration	Everyday use

This makes Acaia scales up to ten times more precise than conventional models – and all with individually tested craftsmanship.

Calculation example: How precision affects espresso

A classic espresso shot consists of:

• Amount of coffee (input): 18.0 g

• Espresso output (output): 36.0 g

• Container weight (cup): 250 g

---

Example 1: Acaia Lunar (±0.05 g deviation)

1. Before moving in:
   Tare = 250 g → Zeroing → Ground coffee:
   The actual amount is between 17.95 g and 18.05 g.

2. After moving in:
   Total weight 286 g → actual espresso: 35.95 g to 36.05 g

🔹 Total deviation: ±0.1 g
🔹 Error rate: 0.28%

---

Example 2: Standard scale (±0.5 g deviation)

1. Before purchase: 17.5 g to 18.5 g

2. After retrieval: 35.5 g to 36.5 g

🔸 Total deviation: ±1.0 g
🔸 Error rate: 2.8%

Impact on the result

parameter	Acaia Lunar	Standard scale
Amount of coffee	17.95–18.05 g	17.5–18.5 g
Espresso output	35.95–36.05 g	35.5–36.5 g
Brew Ratio	1:2	1:1.9 – 1:2.1
The taste	Consistent & balanced	Fluctuating & unpredictable

Even deviations of 1 g significantly change the extraction ratio !
Try it yourself!

The hand-calibrated precision of an Acaia scale minimizes these errors and achieves reproducible results with every shot .
