Read our full Acaia Pearl review →
What we like
- Response time is fast enough to actually time a shot off the readout
- 0.1 g resolution holds steady, no drift mid-pour
- Companion app logs shots automatically over Bluetooth
- Low-profile design fits under most portafilters and drip stands
What we don't
- 150 dollars for a scale is a hard sell to anyone not already dialing in ratios
- Touch buttons misfire occasionally with wet or cold fingers
- Battery capacity fades noticeably after two to three years of daily use
