Acaia Pearl Digital Coffee Scale

Very responsive and easy to read.

I thought I might regret this purchase or be embarrassed to tell people how much it was. Boy was I wrong! This made my previous setup (kitchen scale and iPhone timer) feel like I was working in the Stone Age. The accuracy and speed have upped the quality and taste of any coffee I brew. Plus it is so convenient to have your timer and weight on one screen right below your setup. I purchased the black version and it looks amazing on the counter. I downloaded all the apps and I can see where they might be handy but I often swirl my coffee and the weight changes/movement throw the tracking off a bit. Still great to use but honestly the scale on its own is remarkable. Worth every penny!

One of the best investments for pour over.

Upgrading your scale is something you don't think about. I used a Hario v60 scale for a long time, and you become accustomed to the slower response rate and the lack of modes. Going from that to an Acaia, though, is a huge game changer. The near instant response time makes dosing coffee MUCH faster, and the modes for espresso and auto-tare are super handy. Its a scale that makes you feel spoiled... like a little white (or black) token of how much coffee means to you. it looks really nice on the coffee bench, performs incredibly well, and gives me that head scratching pang of regret when a guest asks how much I spent on it. It checks all the boxes, and I love the crap out of it.

Incredibly accurate scale and a joy to use. I like how quickly it responds and just adds to the overall experience of brewing coffee. This scale is a step above the rest and hope it will last me a long time.
