Acaia Pearl (Pitch Black) — coffee scales

Acaia's flagship scales have been rebuilt from the ground up, and remain unbeatable.

The Acaia Pearl scales are designed for ultimate precision across a range of brewing methods. Already category-leading, the reworked 2021 model has been fitted with new weighing technology to make it faster and even more accurate.

For pour over brewing, a new Flow-Rate Indicator visualises real time pouring speed and suggests thresholds for optimum flow rates. The portafilter mode is designed to speed up the accurate weighing of coffee grounds in a portafilter, saving time for the busy barista.

The in-built lithium battery lasts 30-40 hours and is rechargeable via a USB-C port. A silicon pad protects the surface from heat and the digital display is optimised for sunlight readability. Barista scales don't get any better than this.
