Never over-pour again with the Acaia Pearl’s rapid 20 millisecond response time. The scale can also measure weight down to a tenth of a gram, enabling users to brew coffee with accuracy to achieve a balanced brew. These two features, along with the embedded stopwatch, make the Pearl a powerful friend in the coffee brewer’s kitchen.
The bluetooth-enabled Acaia Pearl can collect your brewing information and give you insights into your recipes and habits via Android and iOS apps. The apps also allow you to see others’ recipes and share your own with the world.
The Acaia Pearl White Scales include a Micro-USB (2020) or USB-C (2021) rechargeable battery that lasts for weeks, thanks to the auto-shutoff feature that kicks in once the brewing is complete - but not before. You can adjust the auto-shutoff timing and other settings in the apps.
Updates to the Acaia Pearl 2021 version include a faster and more responsive display, real-time flow indicator above the display, the much-welcomed USB-C charger and optimized sunlight readability; still with all the favourite modes and flawless design.

Acaia Pearl 2021 Brewing Scale – White Features
20 Millisecond Response Time - No reading delay means more accurate brewing.
Reads Every 0.1 Gram - No more winging it. Now you can brew with precision like a pro.
Embedded Stopwatch - The scale counts time so you don’t have to.
Rechargeable Battery - Just plug it in and you’re set.

If anyone is having issues entering into modes 3, 4, 5. You need to enable them in settings. When the scale is off hit the power button and keep your finger on it until you see “set”. Toggle over until you see mode 1, 2, 3 etc and make sure they’re set to on.

Just got Fellow Tally, broke soon as I plugged it in to charge. Wish the Pearl had brighter numbers.

[Vigilanteu]

The fellow tally beats this 10x over after using both.

I can't, for the life of me, figure out how to get into auto-start mode. This is a feature I could really use, but no one explains how to get into that mode (including Acaia's own directions/booklet)

Thanks Josh! Answered most of my questions. Does pitch black 2022 have the flow rate feature displayed on the scale? I want to practice my pour. So I’m tossing up between Hiroia Jimmy (for it’s app) and Acaia Pearl. Can you help please 😄🙏

[bryantwong]

Can this able to do for espresso for auto timing when 1st drip

Hello. Help with color weight. I reviewed the reviews, but did not find the answer which color to choose. All my equipment is black, and at first I definitely wanted black scales, but I also understand that fingerprints, scuffs, scratches and other shortcomings that arose during operation will be better visible on black glossy scales. White in terms of operation is better? What do you say? What is your experience?
Thank you)

[AdastraRecordings]

Done, thanks for helping me make my decision.

Does anyone know if it's pearl white or supremacist white? It's not a deal breaker but I do like to be reminded I'm a sub species whenever inhumanly possible.

I’m unable to connect my Bluetooth, any tips?

Hi, is there a way to remove the decimal point on the scale and show as a whole number?

[FaLaZeN]

Acaia only updated the pearl model ?
What about pearl model S ? Is it updated as well ?

[richardfitzgerald]

I purchased one of these and had problems almost immediately. It would often loose the mode setting I had selected when I turned it on. When I tried to reset it would go back to the preset setting before I had finished the process, very frustrating. It was also very difficult to turn off taking over 6 taps before it turned off. In addition it would flash random numbers after the carafe had been removed from the scale .This was not a problem but I thought it indicative of an inherent problem. Acaia say they cannot find a problem with it. I find this difficult to believe. The retailer are asking for further payment to return the scale to me. I have declined to spend any more money on a faulty unit with zero manufacturer backup. Very disappointing for a so called premium scale. My recommendation, do not buy.

It says do not remove the thin film on top, can I? 😅

[smileever]

There's a different between this and S scale

[phylk]

So tell us what makes the coffee hot? Am I the only one thinking this? What? ☕️

[marylandflyer]

Fine for pour over, but just too thick as espresso scale on your machine.
