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)
-
Before moving in:
Tare = 250 g → Zeroing → Ground coffee:
The actual amount is between 17.95 g and 18.05 g. -
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)
-
Before purchase: 17.5 g to 18.5 g
-
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 .
Technological and artisanal advantages of Acaia scales
-
Manual calibration of each device: Every Acaia scale is individually tested and fine-tuned to ensure absolute accuracy.
-
High response speed: Instant weight display for real-time measurement during extraction.
-
Bluetooth & App Connectivity: For data logging, timer and recipe management.
-
Robust design: The Lunar with its solid aluminum housing is ideal for use under the portafilter machine.
-
Minimalist aesthetics: Reduced design that combines functionality and style.
Conclusion: Precision means control – and manual work
With an Acaia espresso scale, you don't get a mass-produced item, but a precision-engineered measuring instrument – calibrated by hand and tested for absolute reliability.
Whether Acaia Lunar for espresso or Acaia Pearl for filter coffee – both models offer the same philosophy: Perfect precision for perfect taste.
