Acaia Pearl S Heat-Resistant Pad – Silicone Coaster to Protect Your Scale
A round silicone coaster, unassuming beneath the carafe – and while the hot water runs through the filter above, the Pearl S underneath stays cool and unbothered. Instead of the heat seeping into the scale over several minutes, the coaster catches it.
A small piece of silicone that protects your scale during long brews.
What makes the Pearl S coaster special
It's a functional silicone pad that protects the surface of your scale. Especially during longer brews, when a warm vessel sits on the scale for an extended time, it prevents possible damage from heat transfer. This is more than cosmetic, because temperature affects the weighing beam over time – catching the heat keeps your scale accurate for years.
Especially with pour over, where the carafe or cup rests warm and patient on the Pearl S, the coaster shows its strength. It's available in black and white and blends with the colour of your scale. Whether you want this kind of protection is up to you; this is just our view, one of many.

Roastery tip
With pour over, we like to set the warm carafe on the coaster before placing it back on the scale – this way the Pearl S stays reliable for years. For filter, we like to grind Wild Peach, when it's allowed to be fruity; otherwise we stick with Cozy Chocolate and Nutty Delight – full-bodied, sweet, dense. If you like it full and round without any acidity, stick with Very Nutty. This is our recommendation, one of many, and whichever bean tastes right to you is the right one.
