Also, the scale comes charged straight out of the box. With its 30 to 40 hours worth of juice, the coffee scale only needs to be charged every few months, the brand claims. The Pearl charges through a USB Type-C, so while a charger is included with the Pearl, you can also use your phone charger. I had previously been using the Hario coffee scale, which runs on AAA batteries, and I always hated having to replace those things, especially when the replacing the batteries became an extra step between waking up and drinking coffee. It's a minor point, but the fact that the Pearl scale is rechargeable is probably one of my favorite things about it.

In Beverage mode, the Pearl guides you through the entire pour-over process from putting the cup or carafe on the scale to removing the filter at the end of the brew.Īnd for those who love their apps, the Pearl uses Bluetooth to connect a companion smartphone app, which lets you store brewing recipes, update firmware and use other coffee-nerd features. But when you activate the Pearl's other features, you can also tap into the Auto-Start Timer mode, which registers when you're starting to pour water and will automatically kick in the timer. The dual-display mode - the most common setting for all coffee scales – lets you see weight and a timer. The Pearl also has a bunch of modes that help improve your skills as a barista. The display even has markings that serve as thresholds for so-called proper flow rates, which baristas use to help gauge how well-extracted their end cup of coffee will be. The display features a real-time flow rate indicator, which lets you know whether you're pouring water too fast or too slow.

Plus, the weights stabilize more quickly, so you don't need to take that half a second to make sure the scale is actually displaying the correct weight.

The Acaia Pearl is accurate to the tenth of the gram, while some other scales might not get that minuscule with their readings.Īnother huge pro of the Pearl is just how quickly it registers weights - its response time is one of the fastest in the market, especially compared to lower-end coffee scales. The most important thing about a scale - especially one for coffee in which every gram matters - is its accuracy.
