Description
An Acaia Lunar espresso scale that survives the drip tray
Splashed steam wands and puddled crema ruin ordinary scales within weeks. The Lunar is sealed against both, so your numbers stay honest shot after shot.
A scale sized for the shot, not the countertop
Most brewing scales are too large or too slow for espresso work. The Lunar’s compact footprint slots directly under a portafilter on the drip tray, and its response time is fast enough to catch the first drops of a fifteen-second shot.
Benefits that matter behind the bar
- Reads weight in real time without lag, so dosing and yield stay accurate to the gram.
- Water-resistant electronics tolerate the spills and steam that ruin standard kitchen scales.
- Anodized aluminium body resists scratching from portafilters and daily wipe-downs.
- USB-C rechargeable battery removes the need for disposable batteries on a busy counter.
- Tracks brew time and flow rate alongside weight, giving a full picture of shot quality.
