Looking for the best coffee scale on the market today? Then you've probably run into the Acaia Pearl Black at some point. This review runs through the features of the scale, it's problems, and my thoughts on it.

What is the brand and type of your cutting board? It looks really nice.

Thanks for the review. I didn't know that if use in Timer mode, the resolution is not there to 0.1g. That kind of sucks for the scale of this price. I guess if I have coffee left which could be 23.44 g so I have to measure without timer to get the water ratio and then use the timer and loose the efficiency of 0.1g in timer mode. Feels incovenience for that price.

The product specs says:
*Capacity: 4.4 lbs / 2kg
*Measuring Units: oz, g
*Increments: 0.1g

Hi, just bought the Lunar, but mine has default white color display! How did you get it to red? I've seen red and blue, did you update firmwire?

This $140 scale is such a scam.
Scales are super cheap to make and a very old technology I have a scale with 0.01g accuracy for 20 bucks, it just doesn’t have a timer (probably costs a dollar to make!). This is just another marketing scam that espresso lovers seem to fall into
