Acaia Orbit Multipurpose Hopper – multipurpose hopper made of anodised aluminium
You only add as many beans as you need for that one cup. A quick whir, the hopper releases them completely into the grinder – nothing left behind, nothing goes stale. Next time, you weigh out fresh beans and start again.
A hopper that takes the Orbit’s single-dose idea all the way.
What makes the Orbit Multipurpose Hopper special
The Multipurpose Hopper is made for the Acaia Orbit and designed for single dosing: you grind exactly the amount you need right now, instead of leaving a full container standing for days. This keeps the beans fresh, because as soon as coffee is ground, the aromatic compounds escape quickly – grinding in doses captures more of them in the cup.
It is made of anodised aluminium, so it is robust and durable, and it is easy to take apart and clean. Together with the Acaia Lunar, it fits into a grind-by-weight workflow: weigh the beans, grind, done. Whether this approach appeals to you is your call; this is just our view, one of many.

Roastery tip
Single-dosing is especially worthwhile if you like to switch between beans – full-bodied in the morning, something fruity in the afternoon. For a dense, sweet start, we often reach for Cozy Chocolate and Nutty Delight. If you like it full and round without any acidity, stick with Very Nutty; for a fruity experience, Wild Peach goes into the grinder. This is our recommendation, one of many, and any bean that tastes good to you is the right one.
