0.1g resolution, 300ms response, Bluetooth app connectivity, rechargeable, available in Pearl and Pearl S sizes. The reference coffee scale for serious home brewers.
0.1g resolution, 300ms response, Bluetooth, rechargeable, two sizes. $180-220. Reference coffee scale — best build quality, Bluetooth app connectivity, longest longevity. Premium price justified by 5-10 year lifespan. Standard recommendation for serious brewers.
The Acaia Pearl is the reference coffee scale — 0.1g resolution, 300ms response time, Bluetooth app connectivity for logging brews, and a rechargeable battery in an aluminum build that lasts 5–10 years with normal use. The Pearl justifies its $150–220 price through longevity and precision, not features: it simply does everything correctly, every time. The Bluetooth app is genuinely useful for iterating on recipes.
Pros
- 300ms response time — fastest of any scale reviewed here
- Bluetooth app logs dose, yield, and time across brews
- Aluminum build with rechargeable battery — no battery runs to the store
Cons
- $150–220 is a significant investment — overkill for casual home brewers
