{"product_id":"lunar","title":"Lunar","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA commercial-grade espresso scale built to live on a bar: water-resistant aluminum, 0.1 g resolution, real-time flow rate.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBefore the Lunar, most espresso scales were an afterthought. A plastic puck you stuck under the portafilter and hoped kept up. acaia built the Lunar to actually keep up. Fast stabilization, 0.1 g resolution, a display you can read under bar light, and a body carved from water-resistant anodized aluminum so it survives the spills and drips that come with real brewing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the rebuilt version. acaia kept the silhouette that made the original a staple on World Barista Championship stages, then reworked the weighing technology underneath. The scale settles faster. The flow rate indicator reads in real time, a strip of LEDs that shows grams per second as the shot runs. You see the shot develop, not just the final weight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe rest of the design is about staying out of the way. USB-C charging. 30 to 40 hours of continuous use per charge. Auto-start modes that begin the timer when coffee hits the cup. A Tare Save function that remembers the weight of your favorite dosing container so you stop taring manually every shot. Small things, but they compound over a busy morning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\u003cp\u003eMost espresso scales react. The Lunar keeps up.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Lunar lives on espresso bars because espresso bars are the hardest environment a scale can work in. Steam, water, portafilters dropped from an inch too high. The anodized aluminum shell is water-resistant, and the warranty covers water damage, which tells you something about how acaia expects it to be used.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt home, that same build quality means the scale you buy today is the scale you'll still be using in five years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat's built into the Lunar.\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWater-resistant anodized aluminum\u003c\/strong\u003e — The shell is machined aluminum with an anodized coating that resists water, stains, and scratches. The warranty explicitly covers water damage. Built for a working bar, not a protected countertop.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReal-time flow rate indicator\u003c\/strong\u003e — A row of LEDs lights up as coffee flows, showing grams per second from 0.1 on the left to 3.4 on the right. You read the shot as it develops and adjust grind, dose, or puck prep based on what you see.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e0.1 g resolution, fast stabilization\u003c\/strong\u003e — The weighing technology is the same industrial sensor platform acaia builds for commercial use. Readings stabilize quickly so you can start timing the moment coffee hits the cup.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAuto-start brewing modes\u003c\/strong\u003e — Choose how the scale behaves when you pull a shot. Dual display, auto-start timer, espresso mode, flow rate mode. The scale adapts to how you brew rather than forcing a single workflow.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTare Save\u003c\/strong\u003e — Save the weight of your preferred dosing cup or receiver. The scale recalls it and tares automatically, so you skip a step every time you brew.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUSB-C charging\u003c\/strong\u003e — Rechargeable lithium-ion battery with 30 to 40 hours of continuous use per charge. USB-C cable included. No proprietary dock, no disposable batteries.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBluetooth 5.0\u003c\/strong\u003e — Pairs with the acaia Coffee app for firmware updates, brew logging, and compatibility with third-party espresso software.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHigh-contrast 8-digit LED display\u003c\/strong\u003e — Bright enough to read under bar lighting or at a sunny kitchen counter. Shows weight, time, and flow rate together so you don't have to look away mid-shot.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow it works: How the Lunar fits into a shot.\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlace the portafilter on the scale. The Lunar tares automatically if you've set Tare Save. Start the pull. The timer begins when coffee hits the cup, and the flow rate LEDs track grams per second as the shot develops.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe scale gives you three numbers at once: time, weight, flow rate. That's the full picture of a shot. When the target weight hits, you stop the pull. Over time, the flow rate curve becomes the most useful of the three, because it tells you whether the puck is resisting evenly or channeling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWho it's for: Who the Lunar is for.\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you pull espresso at home and you're past the point of eyeballing yield, the Lunar is the scale to buy once. It costs more than the plastic alternatives because it's built to outlast them, and because the real-time flow rate data changes how you learn to dial in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you run a café bar, the Lunar is already the default. It's the scale you see on World Barista Championship stages because it keeps up with how fast the competition moves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eEvery spec acaia publishes.\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eModel\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAL008 \/ AL009 \/ AL010 \/ AL012 \/ AL013\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eMaximum capacity\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2000 g \/ 70.55 oz\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eReadability\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.1 g or 0.01 g\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eMinimum weight\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.1 g \/ 0.01 g\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eDimensions\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e105 mm W x 105 mm L x 15 mm H\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eWeight\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e265 g plus or minus 5 g\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eDisplay\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e8-digit LED\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eBattery\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLithium-ion 3.7 V, 1100 mAh\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eBattery life\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e30 to 40 hours of continuous use\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003ePower supply\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5 V \/ 500 mA\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eConnectivity\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBluetooth 5.0\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eWater resistance\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWater-resistant anodized aluminum coating\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eMaterials\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAluminum, acrylic\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat ships with your Lunar.\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eScale, pad, charging cable, calibration weight.
