The lithium-ion battery is 2200 mAh, roughly twice the runtime of the standard Pearl. The display is dot-matrix rather than segmented LED, so you can see words as well as numbers. When the scale guides you through a brew, it actually tells you what to do, not just how much things weigh.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe brewing modes expand too. Weighing only, dual display, pour-over auto-start timer, portafilter, espresso, flowrate, brewguide, and countdown. You pick the mode that matches what you're brewing. The scale reacts accordingly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\u003cp\u003eA teaching scale and a working scale in one unit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe sound notifications are customizable. You can set the scale to call out weight and time cues with tones or voice prompts, which is how a training bar uses the Model S to teach new baristas pour speed and ratio without a second person coaching through every step.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt home, the same feature means you can brew by ear while you do something else in the kitchen.

The scale switches to brewguide mode and shows the first step on the display: weigh your coffee. The Model S waits for you to add the dose, then prompts the next step.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe brew runs on a timeline. Bloom pour, rest, main pour, drawdown. The scale tracks each stage and tells you when to move to the next one, with optional voice or tone cues. By the time you've brewed the same recipe five or six times, you know the rhythm. The brewguide stops being a crutch and starts being a check.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWho it's for: Who the Pearl Model S is for.\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you brew at home and you want a scale that teaches you as you go, the Model S is worth the step up from the standard Pearl. The brewguide is useful for people still learning pour-over technique, and the higher capacity and longer battery make it a scale you won't outgrow.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you run a training bar, the Model S is one of the best teaching tools on the market. The voice notifications mean a new barista can brew alongside a coach without needing constant verbal feedback.\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\u003ePS003 \/ PS004\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eMaximum capacity\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3000 g \/ 105.82 oz\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eMinimum capacity\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.1 g\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eReadability\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.1 g\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eDimensions\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e160 mm W x 160 mm L x 32 mm H\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eWeight\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e620 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\u003eDot matrix 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, 2200 mAh\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eBattery life\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e16 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\"\u003eMaterials\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePolycarbonate (PC)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat ships with your Pearl Model S.\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eScale, coaster, charging cable.
