Acaia
Buy Acaia in Switzerland – Premium Specialty Coffee Scales
Acaia is the premium standard in specialty coffee for scales, bean dosers, and workflow tools. Pearl, Lunar, and Pyxis are standard in thousands of specialty cafés, roasteries, and competitions. Coffee Coaching Club is the exclusive Swiss importer for Acaia and stocks the full range directly from its warehouse.
What makes Acaia unique
Three characteristics define the brand. Firstly, the response time: Acaia scales react in sub-seconds – crucial for espresso workflows where you observe the brew weight in real-time and potentially stop the shot. Secondly, app integration: Acaia app for shot logging, recipe tracking, Bluetooth connection, connected scale setups. Thirdly, specialty specialization: Acaia develops scales exclusively for specialty coffee – not as a generic kitchen scale manufacturer, but as a workflow tool specialist with a deep understanding of espresso, filter, pour-over, single-dose.
