Acaia Coffee Scales – Precision for Baristas Switzerland

As the only Acaia partner in Switzerland, we offer precision scales with 0.1g accuracy, Bluetooth and flow rate indicator – for perfect espresso dosing in Bern and Zurich.

The truth about weighing

You've just invested hours. The perfect coffee grinder . The ideal espresso machine . Our carefully roasted beans .

And then you weigh it with a kitchen scale that has a deviation of plus or minus 2g.

But here's the thing: even if the technical difference were small – an Acaia is more enjoyable. And enjoyment makes for better coffee. (Spoiler alert: The technical difference is not small.)

What really makes Acaia different

As a coffee roastery, we work with extraction rates. We understand the math. But we also understand: you prefer using the best tools.

0.1g precision
The facts: With espresso, a 1g deviation can shift the extraction rate by 5-6 percent. That's the difference between balanced (19-21 percent extraction) and bitter (over 22 percent) or sour (under 18 percent). Acaia measures to 0.1g – lab standard for your kitchen.

The truth is: Yes, it makes a measurable difference. But the real reason you want Acaia? That display. That feel. The sensation of working with a truly beautiful tool. Precision plus aesthetics.

10-20ms Response Time
The facts: With espresso, every second counts. Acaia reacts almost instantly to changes in weight. You see in real time how the shot develops – 18g input, 36g output, flow rate during extraction.

The truth is: Do you need millisecond precision? Probably not. But this live feedback makes you more attentive. And attentiveness makes better coffee. Speed ​​plus engagement.

Flow Rate Indicator
The facts: Visually displays the flow rate. With channeling, you'll immediately see: flow too fast, irregular. With optimal extraction: consistent, controlled flow. Real-time feedback for corrections.

The truth is: you could live without them. But those little LEDs that tell you "everything is running perfectly" – that's satisfying. Data plus dopamine.

Bluetooth and app
The facts: Track every shot. Save recipes. Analyze patterns over time. Learn what works with different beans – different roast levels require different parameters.

The truth is: Will you use the app? Maybe. But having the option feels good. Potential plus possibility.

Our Acaia philosophy

You don't need acaia to make good coffee. But acaia makes the process more pleasant. And more pleasant processes lead to better results.

This isn't esotericism. This is behavioral psychology: A beautiful tool leads to greater attention, which leads to better technique. Precise feedback leads to faster learning, which leads to faster improvement. Enjoyment of the equipment leads to more practice, which leads to better skills.

As a coffee roastery, we know: A 30-franc scale might be technically sufficient. But the Acaia will make you a better barista – not just because of the 0.1g measurement, but because you'll love it.

Is Acaia worth the investment?

If you value consistency, see beauty in tools, love data (or love that you could have it), and want to respect your setup – then yes.

Or maybe you simply want Acaia because she's beautiful. Because you want to smile when you weigh her in the morning. Because it feels right. That's reason enough.

Perfectly combined with

Acaia scales perfectly complement any setup. Combine them with Varia single-dose grinders for precise dosing and Normcore puck preparation tools for consistent results. The complete precision setup.

Roastery tip: Use the Acaia app to track different roasts. Lighter roasts (higher solubility, complex acids) often require different brew ratios than darker roasts (caramelization, less acidity). Shot tracking helps you find the sweet spots faster – and that not only makes better coffee, it's also more fun.
