It's time for a major update on our Pearl firmware! Firmware 2.0.008 is now available in the Pearl Updater app on iOS. The update will be available for Android users in one week. (EDIT August 1- This update is now available in the Google Play store.)
Update your firmware app and then you'll be able to select the new firmware. Here's the guide for updating your scale's firmware. Please note that there are two different methods of entering Update Mode.
Once you open the Pearl Updater app, you'll be able to choose between Option A and Option B. These two options differ only in which modes will be turned on for you upon firmware installation. You can turn modes 1–5 on and off yourself in the scale's Settings menu.
Option A has three modes turned on: Mode 0, 2, and 5. Option B has five modes turned on: Mode 0, 2, 3, 4, and 5.
To switch between modes, long press on the Power button.
Here's an easy reference graphic for all of the modes available to you.
This mode is not new and is automatically available to you. It shows only the weight on the display in 0.0 g format.
This mode is not new and was added to be used for espresso. It displays time up to 59 seconds and weight in a 0.0 g format. To turn this mode on, you will need to access the Settings menu.
This mode is not new and displays both time and weight. It will show time up to 9:99 and weight in 0 g. To start the timer and to tare the scale, you will need to press the buttons.
This mode is indicated by an orange light on the left side of your display. Place materials on scale. Tap Power Button to automatically tare. The timer display will be flashing, which means it's ready for the pour. Begin pouring and the timer will start with the pour.
This mode was specifically designed for pour overs and extraction measurements. Follow instructions on the screen to place the carafe, filter, and coffee (tap Tare in between steps). Timer will start with the pour. Lift all but the carafe off to stop the timer. The flashing number is your beverage weight with all items subtracted. This would also be the weight you use to calculate your extraction.
This mode is indicated by Atr showing on the left side. It will display weight only. Place the item on the scale and it will automatically tare. This will be helpful if you have to weigh out dosages often and would rather not manually press the tare button every time.
To turn on or off Modes 1–5, you can go through your scale's Settings menu. The beginning of the below video shows you how to enter the Settings menu. When you reach the Mode that you want to turn on or off, long press on the T and then tap T to toggle the switch.

Team Acaia is headed to Budapest for the World of Coffee! Come check out our newest product- the Orion, winner of SCA 2017 Best New Product.
We'll be sharing a stand with our friends at Baratza in Hall G, Stand D15/ D17.
We're also proud sponsors of the brew bar where we'll be demoing our products on Tuesday at 11 am.
For competitors who are using our scales, we'll be offering the same calibration services that we offer at other events. Please also take a look at the below for our recommended settings.
1) Change your Filter setting to 128 (max) if you find that the tables are unsteady.
2) Turn off your Bluetooth if you are not using it.
3) Turn off beeps if you do not want them.
4) Turn off the auto-off if you do not want the scale turning off after a certain amount of idle time.
5) If using the Lunar, turn off the modes that you do not want to use.
6) When charging or storing the scales, set them on their SIDE to avoid engaging the load cell.
To find out how to access these settings, visit Page 14 of our Pearl manual or Page 19 of our Lunar manual online.
We're back at SCA Expo again this year! Find us at Booth #1927.
Our booth will be staffed by a number of people from our team. We won't all be there at the same time, so if you're looking to set up a meeting, make sure you email firstname.lastname@example.com ASAP!
Every day, we'll be featuring a few guest roasters. Check out the schedule below and stop by to say hi to your new favorite roaster.
We will also have special event pricing and a limited supply of our products.
A warm thank you to our equipment partners:
The Orion Bean Counter is a minimalistic and compact dosing system. In partnership with Khristian Bombeck from Saint Anthony Industries, we've designed a customizable tool for dosing out your coffee.
Designed for roasters for weighing out retail bag portions and cafes for portioning out pour over brews, the system is precise within 0.5 g.
Basics of the Orion Bean Counter include:
We invite you to our booth to check out the prototype and to vote for us in the Best New Product category!
This is estimated to ship in the 3rd quarter of 2017.
Two new modes! These will be on display at the booth and new scales are currently shipping with the firmware. The update will be made available to current owners in the next month. We've added an auto-timer mode that will automatically start the timer once you begin pouring. The timer will continue running until you stop it.
The beverage mode will sequentially remember the weights of your carafe, brewer, filter, and coffee. At the end of your brew, remove the carafe and brewer and you will see the beverage weight. This will help you calculate your extraction yield.
Like during the US regionals, we'll be offering the same competitor support of calibration and quick fine-tuning of scales.
Here are our recommendations for general scale settings in a competition environment:
1) Change your Filter setting to 128 (max) if you find that the tables are unsteady.
2) Turn off your Bluetooth if you are not using it.
3) Turn off beeps if you do not want them.
4) Turn off the auto-off if you do not want the scale turning off after a certain amount of idle time.
5) If using the Lunar, turn off the modes that you do not want to use.
6) When charging or storing the scales, set them on their SIDE to avoid engaging the load cell.
To find out how to access these settings, visit Page 14 of our Pearl manual or Page 19 of our Lunar manual online.
Because our US team will be in Seattle from April 17 to 24, we ask that you be a little more patient with our service. Questions will be responded to as quickly as possible, but repairs will be delayed.]]>
At MICE, our company will be stationed right by the Coffee Roasters Competition. Try to match one of the brewprints that we provide for our new Brewguide app! If you have a score of 80 or above, you'll win a bag of beans from Five Senses.
Our partners will be selling our scales at the event. Visit Bombora Coffee & Water Supplies, Five Senses Coffee, and Toby's Estate Coffee.
We're proud to be exclusive scale sponsors at the US Coffee Championship Brew Bars in Knoxville, Austin, and Seattle. We will not be selling any scales or working a booth in Knoxville or Austin.
Like we have for previous events, we'll be attending in-person and be offering the following:
To set up a scale calibration time, you can reach us on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram @acaiacoffee or email hello at acaia.co.]]>
The iOS and Android Acaia Coffee apps, plus the iOS Brewmaster app, have a new update today.
Two new options have been added to the Settings menu.
A background image can be set from any photo in your photo library.
Voice on or off (default off) means the app will announce the current weight as soon as it has changed and been stable for 1-1.5 second. English is set as the default language, but if the region is supported for TTS, that language will be spoken instead.
Will you have Brewmaster for Android?
Yes, we will. You can sign up to be notified of its beta release here: http://bit.ly/acaiabeta.
Can you optimize the apps for iPhone Plus models?
Yes, this is currently underway and has an ETA of January 2017.
If you are interested in joining the beta program, you can download the app here (opens iTunes link). You may send immediate feedback to
Requirements for the app include:
To pair with our Brewbar app, we've designed the Titan and Atlas pour-over stands. The two-scale setup can help you measure two flow rates, in addition to two weights, for more accurate extraction.
These are cut one at at time from blocks of aluminum alloy. Each stand comes with a tool kit for you to easily assemble in a matter of minutes.
Is this going to be on Android?
Yes. There will be a beta for Android. Please sign up here to be notified when it becomes available.
What is a public beta?
Major changes can still be made to the app before the official full version is released. Here's where you come in! We would appreciate any/all feedback in regards to using the app and ease of it in part of your commercial environment.
Can this connect to the Baratza Sette 270W?
Yes, it can. Make sure your mobile device's Bluetooth is on. You will be able to read the output weight of the grinder. You are not able to program the weight for the grinder yet.
Why is this only for tablets?
Because Brewbar displays three stations at a time, we need the tablet's larger screen to display everything clearly.
Where can I find the stands in my country?
Ask your local distributor. If they are not selling the stands yet, ask them to place an order with us.]]>

This block of steel will help you make better coffee.
Scales are a wonderful aid for making delicious coffee more easily. Coffee is hard to brew well because there are so many variables to control (grind size, ratio of beans to water, water quality, water temperature, agitation, etc.), and scales let us keep many of those variables consistent.
Using scales can also give us the experience of others to add to our own. One person can say to another, "I like this Kathunguri with 20g of coffee and 340g of water, and I add the water in these amounts at these times." It's a recipe. We don't try to make chocolate chip cookies or spaghetti carbonara or pho with no prior instructions – why should we make coffee without prior instructions?
But how do we know that my 20g is the same as your 20g? How do we keep the scales consistent?
Every Acaia scale is hand calibrated at the factory, but once the scale leaves the factory we cannot control where or how the scale is used. Gravity is not the same all over the Earth, nor is the weather, and these are both things that affect how a scale measures weight. In order to standardize measurement and make our experience valid and communicable for each other, precision scales need to be calibrated. Often. We recommend at least once a week, with a daily check with the calibration weight.
We've had many customers ask us which calibration weights we recommend, and we had trouble finding weights we were confident in that were not incredibly expensive. So we made our own.
The Acaia 500g calibration weight is machined from stainless steel (for durability, so it stays 500g) and Acaia-certified as an F2 weight. To keep the weight safe and accurate, it comes with its own EVA foam travel case.
To calibrate your Acaia scale, simply start with the scale in weighing-only mode and press the T button six times in quick succession. The scale will prompt you for a calibration weight. Place the weight on the scale and wait until the scale says "End".
For the calibration to be most effective, calibrate the scale the same way you would use it. Calibration should occur in the place you will be using the scale. If you leave your scale on all day, make sure the scale has been on for 15 minutes before calibration. If you only turn on your scale in the morning to brew coffee, calibrate shortly after turning the scale on. Try to reproduce everything about how you will be using the scale normally.

Expo was a real whirlwind for us. We launched and released many new products in Atlanta & enjoyed the feedback we received on them. The collaboration grinder Sette 270W won Best New Product at the show!
We're in Atlanta for SCAA Expo! This year, we are featuring roasters and baristas at our booth, plus showing off some new items we've been working hard on.
Find us in booth #1565!
We will be selling a limited stock of scales and accessories. If you are interested in purchasing products, we recommend visiting earlier during the show, as we may sell out quickly.
Here's our brewing schedule! We're thankful to be working with a talented group of roasters and baristas. You'll be able to try coffee from pros, using our newest products AND test it out for yourself!
10-12pm Equator Coffee & Teas | Akaash Saini
12-2pm Kaldi's Coffee | Andrew McCaslin
2-4pm Onyx Coffee Lab | Andrea Allen & Dylan Siemens
10-12pm Supersonic Coffee Co | Brian Jones & Bjorg Brend Laird
12-2pm Variety Coffee Roasters | Erika Vonie
2-4pm Steadfast Coffee | Lee Sill
10-12pm Intelligentsia Coffee | Andy Atkinson
2-4pm Cat & Cloud | Jared Truby & Chris Baca
The Acaia Brewbar is an iPad app that helps baristas dial-in their pourover and consistently replicate the recipes. It connects four Acaia Coffee Scales and compatible grinders at the same time.
We anticipate that the app will help cafes manage quality control and pourover recipes. To dial in, baristas can record up to five pours per coffee. After comparing the pours, the barista selects one to use as the Master and can drop it into Brewbar to be used for that day's brews. All brews that day will subsequently be recorded in the app for quality assurance!
This app is currently in beta for iOS tablets. The Android version is in development. It will be on display in our booth and in Baratza's booth #1428.
The Acaia Brewguide app is a mobile app that helps coffee enthusiasts and geeks record brewprints. Each brew print is categorized by coffee and you will be able to view the prints that each person has made for that particular coffee. You will also be able to "ghost" another person's recipe, as well as view your accuracy!
A brand-new endeavor, Acaia Links works with manufacturers to connect their product to the Acaia apps.
Our newest collaboration is with Baratza, the grinder manufacturers! Their newest lineup of grinders, the Sette, features a grind-by-weight grinder that syncs to our Brewbar app. The load cell inside the grinder displays to the tenth of a gram.
In addition to the Bluetooth capabilities, the grinder will feature a smart running dose offset calibration. This means that if the inputted weight in the app is not the same as the output from the grinder, the grinder will "learn" and offset the next dose. It will be a continual learning process for the grinder and app.
Another recent collaboration with Sanremo allows their volumetric Opera espresso machine to become a gravimetric one. The scales are synced to the Opera's interface, allowing you to use the Acaia lunar to program recipes! Check it out in action in Sanremo's booth #1529.
We are debuting our newest accessories: pour over stands! The Atlas is a smaller stand, designed to rest on top of your Pearl. On top of the base, you can rest your lunar. This combo will allow you to track your slurry weight (the weight that is currently in your pour over device) and your beverage weight (the output). By connecting the scales to our Brewbar app, you'll be able to track TWO different flow rates!
Are you competing this weekend for the US Barista Championships and/or US Brewers Cup? Bring your digital scales by the booth for a calibration! We'll have all our calibration equipment with us and we'd be happy to make sure you're as accurate as possible for your routine. This offer applies for all digital scales that can hold a calibration.
Remember to turn off your scales' Bluetooth settings if you are not using the app during your routine!
Speaking of calibration weights, we are releasing two Acaia-branded weights for your calibration needs. The 100 g and 500 g weights can be used for both your Lunar and Pearl. They are F2 class weights and a small amount will be for sale at our booth!
We've got some new swag in! Totes (with designs by Department of Brewology) will be given out to the first 50 people who complete our challenge at #SCAA2016, while the Acme cup sets are going to be shown off. We're reserving both these swag items for future event sponsorships, too!
Since most of our team is in Atlanta this week, our US and Canada support team will be more delayed in responses than usual. We ask that you're patient with us. All will return to normal on Tuesday, April 19.]]>
Big news today: we have a new firmware release + updates to our current apps! And, to aid in the firmware update process, we have new apps to assist.
If you previously updated your firmware with the iOS Firmware Tool, please delete the app.
The new firmware apps are "Lunar Updater" and "Pearl Updater." These are both available in the App Store and Google Play.
App Store direct links: Lunar Updater / Pearl Updater
Google Play direct links: Lunar Updater / Pearl Updater
From this moment on, any app updates (e.g. Brewmaster) and new apps we release will require these firmware versions:
The acaia Coffee app and the Brewmaster app have been newly updated and can now be found in both the App Store. Brewmaster is still only on iOS for the moment. If you update these apps, you need to also update your scales' firmware.
We will also host a live Periscope session today (January 21) at 1 pm PST (San Francisco) to walk you through the process. Tune in on Periscope @acaiacoffee.
For both scales, we've added Zendesk support so when you report bugs, we receive information about your phone model & operating system.

5. Press and hold Tare Button to enter into the Bluetooth Setup Setting.
6. Tap the Tare button to turn the Bluetooth ON or OFF.
Designers inspire fellow designers & we are often awed by what our products inspire others to create. Melbourne-based Dan Schonknecht, or @specht_design on Instagram, is one such designer. Using timber pieces, he creates customizations for espresso machines & accessories. In June of 2015, he took the leap from working on this as a side business to a full-time endeavor.
Intrigued by his work, we caught up with Dan via email to ask him a few questions. The interview has been edited for length and clarity.
acaia: The drip tray integration with the lunar scale you did for Timothy Wee looks phenomenal! Tell us more about this special project.
Dan: Thank you very much! It was a special build that machine! Timothy has been such a loyal supporter of mine and was one of my first clients, so I really wanted to build a standout machine with a list of things I'd never done before! I built the GS3 for Tim quite a while ago to a different spec and was one of my favourite GS3 builds as it was, but after having lunch with Tim before he headed back to Singapore we decided to give it an overhaul! The machine was boxed up and about to be loaded on plane back to Singapore at the time, so I had to cancel the transport and have it delivered back to me!
The plan was simple - do something I've never done to a GS3 before. Timothy allowed me to use his GS3 as a test pilot for a project I was working on and for that reason, it was the first GS3 in the world to be fitted with the side mount steam lever that I designed with my good mate Rick Bond - AKA Coffee Machinist @coffeemachinist.
It was also the first GS3 (as far as I'm aware) to have your amazing Lunar scale integrated into the drip tray. We also had all of the chrome work electroplated in copper to really add a touch of class and point of difference. Along with the copper work, I hand picked some really nice walnut timber to replace all of the plastic parts and made the side panels using a single piece of timber. I'm very proud of this machine and I hope that I have created a machine that will never date and something Tim can be really proud to have on his bench.
What has been your favorite project to date? Or – what would you consider to be your dream custom job?
Wow, that's a tough question! I still consider the Kees Van Der Western for Clement Coffee in Melbourne to be one of my favourite builds. It was a job that I was given creative licence to do what I wanted, provided it was white and had Tasmanian oak timber. It's such a beautiful machine to begin with and I just did my best to give it it's own personality.
Which materials do you specialize in or prefer working with?
I specialise in handmade timber products for coffee machines and it's something I take a lot of pride in! The timber work is where it all started for me. It just happened to progress into doing full custom builds too. It really is a dream job and no matter how exhausted I am, I love very minute of it!
As a creative, we're sure you're asked this question often. Where do you draw your inspiration from?
Gee, that's actually a hard question! I guess I really try to focus on the client's personality and/or cafe fit-out and build the machine to suit. Sometimes, I just draw inspiration from the things around me. It could be a car, a building or a beautiful piece of furniture. I'm building a machine right now that has one aspect of it that is simply inspired by a window I saw in Paris!
Thank you for taking the time out to chat with us, Dan!

1) We closed a Series A funding round with WI Harper Group.
This allowed us to hire a Chief Technology Officer (CTO), mobile developers, customer service representative & other staff to improve our overall product experience. Read more on Daily Coffee News.
2) We held our first international brewdown!
In partnership with Johan & Nyström and our friend Aleksander Robaszkiewicz, we co-hosted a brewdown in Finland! See all the photos here.
3) We signed the lease to our new San Francisco office.
A few days ago, we installed our La Marzocco GS3, activated our internet service & even broadcast our first Periscope session! Join us on our next Periscope session with our account @acaiacoffee.
4) We attended the Specialty Coffee Association of Japan's Expo with our partner, FBC.
And we even ran into some old friends!
5) At Host Milan, our partner Sanremo unveiled our latest collaboration.
Our lunar espresso scales wirelessly connect to the Opera, giving it control over reading & taring functions.
Scrolling through our Instagram feed, we see our scales being used in a variety of ways in a myriad of settings. This exploration lead us to find Espresso Library in Cambridge, UK, which opened in February 2015. Our scales are used on two types of bar: coffee and alcohol.
The decision to turn Espresso Library into a multifunctional space is due to the blending of the co-founders' various interests. John Gull is a cyclist and mathematician, while his partner, Malgo Dzierugo, is an art historian, yoga teacher & a cook.
This fusion of interests produced Espresso Library: "a cycling cafe, art gallery, specialty coffee shop, whole foods eatery and cocktail bar."
We conversed with Malgo via email.
Your space is gorgeous! Tell us more about the inspiration behind the design & how it works with the community you serve.
Thank you! It means a lot. We had worked on Espresso Library for almost two years prior to February 2015, when the cafe's door opened to the public for the first time. The finished interior was a joint effort: we teamed up with a couple of designers, Vanessa Battaglia and Brendan Young of mineheart.com and a local artist and woodworker Loukas Morley. We envisaged Espresso Library as this large, multi-functional space which channels our passions and interests so that we can share them with our community. We have our own cycling team, we run social and training rides and show all major cycling races on TV - there even is room for riders to hang their bikes up on the wall (Cambridge is REALLY into cycling!). We regularly hold a variety of events at the cafe, from art shows, yoga classes, workshops, talks, PechaKucha Nights (first in Cambridge!) and concerts.
What do you find to be the most challenging as a multi-functional space?
The most challenging part is coordinating all the events we put on at the cafe on top of running a small business, however, it is important for us to do our passions justice. For instance, by choosing to regularly put on new art exhibitions we are able to showcase a larger variety of art and offer accompanying cultural events.
Do you ever mix your alcoholic drinks with the espresso? What was the result?
We are still working on our signature espresso based alcoholic drink. Finding the balance between the spirits, coffee and other ingredients is something we are still perfecting.
We saw on your Instagram page that you build your cocktails by weight using our Pearl. How has it helped you in designing your drinks?
It seemed like an obvious choice to use the Pearl whilst pouring our alcoholic drinks. We found in espresso we needed to control the variables in order to get the desired flavour. Using your precise scales and the app to log the brew method helped us hone in on and repeat a fantastic recipe, so we took the same approach to pouring our cocktails. It's quick, consistent and there is no contamination compared to using spirit measures. The clean functional aesthetic is also right in tune with the feel of our space.
Would you mind sharing a favourite cocktail recipe for our customers to try out in their home bar?
It's got to be the Candy Bellini: mostly because it requires you to make a small batch of our most popular smoothie which you can enjoy in the morning after!
Candy Smoothie (Serves 1-2):
400ml of freshly squeezed orange (or blood orange) juice
1 large ripe banana
1/2 fresh ripe mango
a handful of frozen raspberries
generous pinch of raw vanilla bean powder
Blend everything until smooth.
Candy Bellini (serves 1):
Grab your Acaia scales, turn it on and tare it with a champagne flute on top. Pour 25g of Candy Smoothie and top up to 125g in total with your favourite prosecco (this must be done slowly and carefully, using a straw to stir it as you pour to prevent it bubbling over).
Thank you so much! Cheers!

Have you ever placed a single coffee bean onto our scale and wondered why the display didn't change?
This lack of response is a purposeful design. It is not an error in sensitivity or sign of a damaged load cell. This very important feature is called "zero tracking."
Let's define a few terms that are commonly used in scale terminology:
acaia Pearl v1.74
|minimum starting weight
|0.3 g
|minimum increment of scale
|0.1 g
|maximum weighing capacity
|2000 g
|margin of error
Drifting happens to all scales over a period of time. When you place a mug on any scale, the weight may have changed after 5 minutes.
At the zero point of the scale (0.0 g), the scale will also drift over a period of time. Drifting can be caused by several factors:
Zero tracking is the stabilization of the drift at 0.0 g.
Our default & recommended zero tracking range is set at 2d.
2d is defined as (2 * 0.1g = 0.2g)
At the 2d setting, one coffee bean will not be recognized by the scale. If an item is placed on the scale where it is less than 0.2g, the scale will "track" it and decide it is not an object.
Using the 2d setting again, let's say you place four coffee beans on the scale. The items together are greater than 0.2 g. Therefore, the objects will not be "tracked" and the scale will decide that it is an object.
The zero tracking mechanism only operates at the 0.0 g point. If you put a 50 g weight on the scale and add one coffee bean at 0.1 g, then it will show 50.1 g.
You can have a more responsive zero point by changing it in your scale's settings (it will show trace in the menu). Be aware that changing it to a more responsive setting (1d or OFF) will be a less stable zero point. This means that temperature changes or environmental effects will be noticeable on the scale.
Not all digital scales have the zero tracking feature.
From pg. 21 of the acaia | lunar manual and pg. 16 of the acaia | pearl manual:
Odd-Steiner is a barista and co-owner of Supreme Roastworks in Oslo, Norway. We interviewed him via email to gather his thoughts on his recent win.
The interview has been edited for clarity.
What routines do you have in place to help you be calm before a competition?
I really don't have any routines just before entering the stage. It all starts months ahead with preparations down to the tiniest detail and rehearsal over and over again. Everything is 100%: choice of coffee, choice of water, roasting, brewing, choice of equipment, my presentation etc. All this makes me feel calm and confident. And I keep this calm with me all the way through competition. So it's all about preparations!
When everything is in place, it gives me a peace of mind which again makes me feel confident and calm in my presentation.
Which elements of a competition routine help you in your daily work as a coffee professional?
I think all the aspects help my daily work as a barista. When I brew V60 for my customers, they are my "judges." I am very conscious of the coffee experience I give to the customer. I try to perfect each brew and to give each customer the very best.
For me this is one of the best preparations ahead of the competition. Brewing and serving with a smile!
How did your relationship with Ninety Plus begin?
Supreme Roastworks trademark has always been natural processed coffee. Fruity, sweet and elegant. I think Joseph Brodsky at 90+ really liked our approach to their coffee. I think our roasting philosophy suits the 90+ coffee perfectly.
We met several years ago when Joseph visited Europe and Oslo. I think we were among the few coffeeshops who totally embraced Joseph, 90+ and their natural processed coffee. The samples we tasted blew us away. Since then, I've been completely lost in their natural processed coffees. Nothing even come close. My all-time favorite is the Ethiopian Nekisse, which is also the raw material for Semeon Abay Maker Series.
There are too many in the coffee world that still have delusions when it comes to naturally processed coffee. I am pleased to be able to contribute to disproving old prejudices by winning the WBrC with a natural processed coffee just from 90+.
How did the scales & app prepare you before & during the competition?
The acaia scales and app are extremely accurate. And I really needed that to meet my perfectionism when brewing "high end"-coffee!
The scales are a long awaited upgrade of the design of brew scales. acaia has tastefully designed a really beautiful scale!
During training and competition, I really need equipment that is reliable. And the scales never failed once, during my non-stop rehearsals.
The bluetooth connection with the iPhones giving the judges opportunity to monitor my brewing was a hit…
Aside from coffee, what are your other passions / interests?
I love cooking, experimenting with food and flavors. Other interests and passions are outdoor and water activities making the adrenaline flow: surfing, wavesailing, climbing, mountainbiking, diving etc.
Thank you for taking the time to interview. Congrats again!

If you are currently an owner of an Eclipse Edition, you should have received an email by now notifying you on how to upgrade your scale to the production version. The upgrade takes about a month to process. Your case (the aluminum exterior) will remain the same. Didn't receive an email? Send us a note at hello at acaia.co.
There are 5 modes to the lunar. These were created with espresso in mind. To access them, place a long hold on the left button and you will cycle through each mode.
This shows only the weight.
The standard mode displays both time & weight. Starting the timer & taring the scale require a manual press of buttons.
This mode, denoted by the droplet icon, begins the timer at the first touch of liquid. If you like to measure the time of your shot from the moment espresso hits your demitasse, this is the mode to use.
This mode, denoted by the droplet & square icons, is mode #3 plus a tare. To operate, place the demitasse on the scale, wait for the scale to tare & pull your shot. The timer will start when espresso hits the demitasse.
This final mode, denoted by the triangle & square icons, begins the timer upon cup placement. When you put your demitasse on the scale, the scale will tare automatically. At the same time, the timer will start. This mode is for those who like their shot time to include pre-infusion.
All auto-start modes (#3-5) will stop the timer at either a stable weight or a negative weight.
All modes can be turned off! When you open your scale, the default is to have the modes turned on. To turn them off, access the settings in the scale by following page 19 of the manual.
On top of the new modes, we've also added a stronger scratch-resistance display.
We know manuals aren't exactly the most exciting kind of reading, but we suggest browsing ours so you get the most out of your scale! Here's the link again.
A few tips on your new lunar:
Every scale you purchase from us is hand-assembled by a team of technicians trained in balance technology. The lunar espresso scale, our newest product, takes 70 minutes to assemble & quality assure. On average for smaller & lower-priced scales, it will take 3 minutes.
So what goes on during the assembly? Before the scale is pieced together, we treat applicable parts for water resistance. Then, one screw at a time, the assembly begins.
Here, the scale is being tuned.
A crucial step in this process & essential to lab balances is what we call "grinding." The scale is resting on a pillar. We place a weight in one corner & are simultaneously able to access the internal sensor. We move the weight around & physically adjust the sensor's structure to the weight. Each scale is tuned by hand – no scale is exactly the same.
Finally, we test the scale & run them through our quality assurance protocol.
You can preorder the lunar today for shipping later this month.

One of our favorite features in the app is the ability to customize any of the brew methods' timer settings. We've seen this feature be used in professional training sessions & also as a tool for novice home brewers. The parameters we provide are starting points. You are not required to use them & are more than welcome to edit the recipes as you please.
For the week that our team was at SCAA, our sales manager, Nick, found himself taking advantage of the app's features in an unexpected way. As many coffee professionals can attest, they are the ones making coffee at home for their families. For one whole week, Nick's non-coffee professional significant other would need to make coffee for herself.
So, he found himself customizing a timer with exacting instructions. Here, he shares his method:
Go to the Settings menu (the gear symbol), and find the Timer Settings option.
Then you'll see this set of options:
It's also possible to alter the timer settings for the stock brewer timers.
Once you select a timer to customize, you'll see this:
Touch the green plus sign to add timer segments. Once you're done renaming the segments, you can touch "Done" and then touch each segment to alter its length. Keep in mind that you are specifying the length of the segment itself, and not the total elapsed time at which the segment begins.
When you're done, you should see something like this:
You can then select the custom timer you've created when recording a Brewing Print by touching the "Brew Method" section of the Brewing Print parameters screen.
You can also alter the timer directly from the Brewing Print parameters screen by touching the timer length section.
So there you have it! We'd love to see how you've customized your recipes! Tweet us @acaiacoffee or post on our Facebook wall.]]>
First, we debuted the new acaia Lunar. It was welcomed so successfully that we sold out all our preproduction models within the first hour of the show floor being open. We had also brought a stock of white & black Pearls, both of which sold out on Saturday.
Second, partnering with La Marzocco Home was a dream for us. Many baristas from around the world were trying out our product on the Skybridge. If you were one of those baristas, please do send us any feedback – both good & bad! And if you purchased the Lunar, we will be following up to make sure everything is operating well for you.
Thank you all for making this such a fun weekend!
If you need to follow up with our team, please send emails accordingly:
Sales: sales @ acaia .co
Anything else: hello @ acaia .co
Also spotted: Charles Babinski's back-of-stage setup with our Lunar.
And a thank you selfie from our US team. From the left: Nick, Rex & Jenn.
The Eclipse Edition is a limited preproduction run of the Lunar made specially for the SCAA Event. We're distributing a few of these to our partners who have helped us grow, but the rest will be available for purchase at $200 from our booth. Since the Eclipse is a preproduction model, we'll be supporting it rather closely, with firmware updates as necessary. In the event that we include a small heat pad with the production model, we will ship pads to those customers who have purchased the Eclipse Edition at SCAA.
Our friends at La Marzocco Home will also be taking preorders on the acaia x LM Home editions of the scale to be sold exclusively through La Marzocco Home for the month following the SCAA show. These scales are laser etched with our logo & La Marzocco Home's logo. You can see them in-person in the La Marzocco Home's booth on the Skybridge.
You can preorder the lunar now.
We've set up our booth so visitors can try out all of our products themselves. Those interested in the Lunar will be able to pull shots with a La Marzocco GS/3 and Lux grinder, and those seeking the pearl can brew with them along with a Curtis water tower, Baratza Forte BG grinders, wares provided by Prima Supply & coffee by IP Coffees Specialty.
We've also released our latest app "Brewmaster" on the App Store. This is a slimmed down app for the professional who needs to log many espressos in a day. You can test this app out now or in our booth.
Lastly, we are giving away one black pearl and one lunar at the Event! These contests are running through the weekend on Twitter & Instagram. Find us @acaiacoffee.
Contest details:
Today we are proud and excited to announce the acaia lunar barista scale.
The lunar is designed to deliver the same accuracy and connectivity as the pearl while being able to withstand the environment of a commercial espresso machine's drip tray. The 10.5 cm2 anodized aluminum platform is sealed against liquid entry, and the electronics within have a protective spray coating to shield against moisture.
It's THE barista-proof scale. If you've ever had to discard a scale due to an errant stream of espresso or a cup that tipped over in your drip tray, this is your answer.
To show how serious we are, each lunar comes with a 2-year warranty against water damage. If you manage to drown your scale and the case is intact (i.e. you didn't drop/dent it), then we'll send you a new one to replace it.
To purchase: we will be selling the scale at #SCAA2015 in our booth #18041. Afterward, our partner La Marzocco Home will be the exclusive resellers for one month. Scales are shipping out May to June.
Coming soon as accessories to the lunar are a heat-shielded weighing platform and our new app, Brewmaster. The platform is designed to hold two cappuccino milk course cups side by side, a portafilter, or a carafe/brew vessel (hence the heat shielding). Brewmaster is a streamlined recording app for quickly recording brews and shots with detailed flow rate information.
The lunar is designed to prevent liquid damage. If you've been following our technical blog posts, you'll know that varying temperature is a major factor in scale accuracy. If a large amount of hot liquid ends up on the Lunar, the scale will live, but its accuracy will be affected until it returns to room temperature.
To put it another way: You are free to allow espresso to run directly onto the Lunar, but 1) Why are you wasting delicious coffee? and 2) Espresso is HOT, and the aluminum in the scale is warming up.
But of course, we tested this out for you:
We've introduced an optional "reference" digit on the Lunar - it will read to the .01g if the resolution is set to "High". Keep in mind, though, that we are only presenting this as a .1g x 2kg scale. The hundredth digit is for reference only.
There are now two different "Dual" modes built into the firmware. The first is similar to the pearl's, with a timer on the left and the weight on the right. The power button is now start/stop/reset in sequential presses. Additionally, the "weigh to brew" mode will automatically start the timer when the scale detects an increasing weight, like the start of a brew or espresso extraction.
Investing in a good scale is investing your coffee brewing. Included in every lunar package will be a 100 g calibration weight & strips to place under your scale to protect metal-on-metal scratching. We will also be including a small heat pad, so the scale can be turned into a coffee brewing scale if desired.
At SCAA2015, you will find our lunar, black, and white Pearls all together in our booth. Visit us at booth #18041 or La Marzocco Home's booth to test out the lunar. We've also entered for Best New Product this year, so be sure to vote for us!
If you haven't already seen the First Look on Sprudge, well, why don't you go read it now?]]>
The black Pearl's new display is sharper than the display on the white Pearl, and the contrast between the digits and the black surface make the scale easier to read in bright light. This is not a copy of the black Kickstarter scale. To read the differences between the Kickstarter scale and the current Pearl, please review our blog post on the subject.
This scale is available online now at $150USD for US customers. We will be releasing it soon to our US resellers and at the request of our global partners. We will also have a limited stock for sale at our booth #18041 at #SCAA2015 in April.
You might have already noticed that the price of the black version is $20USD greater than the white version. The short answer to the question of why the retail price is higher for a different color is that it costs more to manufacture.
But it's just a different color paint, right? How is that more expensive?
Two changes had to be made in conjunction to make the black color possible. As you know, the outer shell of the pearl is clear, with a coating applied to the inside. The LED display then shines through that coating to show the scale reading.
White is a color conducive to this type of translucency. Black is not. The process used to coat the shell of the scale with a black color is a bit like how a partially silvered (two-way) mirror is made. The coating allows light to pass through it from the inside, but light from the outside is absorbed or reflected. That was change one.
Change two was the use of a brighter (and more costly) LED display. Since the coating only lets part of the light through it, more light has to be produced to have the same perceived brightness.
We're extremely proud of how good the black Pearl looks — it was not easy to pull off — and we hope that you think it's as beautiful as we do.

The Essentials of Investments – 101
Purchasing and Selling Investment Properties Investments of the kind are common to the real estate sector. Some investors see buying property for rental purposes as an option for the and they lease out the property to other people over the course of their investment. Most people who get into such look in gaining long term profits from the real estate investments. Some investments are to be carried out in a certain manner that an investor buys a property, lets the property accumulate wealth then they sell the property whenever they see fit to. To purchase or sell a property investment, a much-needed trail of paper work is required. When buying, the local government needs to issue a permit on the same to enable the property to be obtained and owned. This way, the investment is also scrutinized to prevent illegal acts like money laundering. So many advantages are associated with property investment as well. At times, they provide a constant source of income to an investor. Also they create employment to people.
Resources – Getting Started & Next Steps
Some property investors may want to buy rental property abroad. This may be a long process for them since they are not natives to the country of interest. It is so dear to get and purchase property then take ownership because of the different laws they have to follow.
Resources – Getting Started & Next Steps
Another problem that foreign investors face is the existing competition in the foreign country. Foreign investors are at times considered as threats to the local investors' businesses, and the former may face xenophobia, their property could be lost or even die in the process. Foreign investors are charged a higher about of tax as compared to their local counterparts. This is meant to make local investors more attracted to investments and to manage foreign influence on a country's investment sector. On the plus side, foreign investments gain the local government with a lot of important revenue. Therefore foreign investments highly encouraged because of this reason. Both local and foreign investors face some common issues. Some problems may be investments may at times be full of losses. Sometimes in investments especially in the rental sector investments may fail to generate income. Sometimes their property get destroyed due to political instability or natural calamities. Other times it could be simply due to lack of interest from the targeted population. Due to depreciation, a property may be sold at lower prices than what investors had initially bought them at when the period of investment expires. External factors that may affect an investment should be taken into account by an investor due to their direct and indirect effect on the investment. Whether it is a rental investment or a purchase investors ought to make timely viable options.

best brands – the italian brand ranking – 2016 edition
Which are the best brands in Italy?
Good question.
Until yesterday the answer was based on the consumer's perception or on the sales performance, and often the evaluation was entrusted by a jury. Since last year, with the arrival of best brands in Italy, the answer is different.
Mixing the emotional component and the commercial success and finding out the opinion of those who truly determine the success of a brand: the public.
An extensive study conducted by GfK on 4,500 cases allows to give the most objective answer to the question: "who is the best?"
This year's awards have been three:
Best Corporate Brand – who rewards the Company,
Best Product Brand – who rewards the Brand,
Best Brand Growth – which rewards Product brand which recorded the highest growth in the last year.

District attorney brown queens ny
A Movements consumer from the US wrote an article on his blog concerning the case of Ali Mohammed al-Nimr and helped in spreading additional awareness by tweeting concerning the case.

Over 3000 protesters descended on Hyde Park on Sunday for the third instalment of the "March Australia" rallies.
Following the success of marches in March and May, which drew over 10,000 people to each event in Sydney, the rally brought its usual share of colour, noise and creative placards but numbers appeared to be down.
Signs with the phrase "Team Humanity" - a play on Prime Minister Tony Abbott's call for migrants to sign up for "Team Australia", were prominent.
The march began and ended in Hyde Park, looping around Market, George and Park streets. It followed a round of speeches by climate change and indigenous rights campaigners, as well as union officials.
Protest organisers said there were even more reasons to attend marches against the Abbott government since the last march in May.
Fabi M. from the Colectivo Mujer feminist group said attending the marches was critically important.
"We'll see if we achieve something, but I want to be part of it - because if we don't come here, nothing will ever be done," she said.
