The Acaia Lunar La Marzocco black is the pinnacle of espresso scales, born from a collaboration between two iconic brands. This black scale is designed specifically for espresso brewing, and it shows in every detail. The Acaia Lunar La Marzocco black suits the home barista just as well as a professional café.
The scale is made from anodised aluminium that stands up to daily use and moisture. It measures 105 x 105 x 15,5 mm, so the Acaia Lunar La Marzocco black fits right on the drip tray of an espresso machine. It weighs only 270 grams, which makes it easy to move from place to place.
Technically, this is an exceptionally versatile measuring device. The scale tracks weight, time and flow rate at the same time. It is the flow rate tracking that sets the Acaia Lunar La Marzocco black apart from ordinary kitchen scales. It keeps your espresso extraction in check day after day.
The maximum capacity is two kilograms, with accuracy of 0,1 gram. The display is LED based, and its brightness has been optimised with good visibility in mind. It is easy to read even in sunlight.
There are six different modes. From the simplest weighing-only mode you can move to automatic modes, where the scale starts the timer itself when the flow begins. The new Tare Save feature also stores the weight of your favourite vessel, cutting unnecessary steps out of your workflow. It makes an espresso session run really smoothly.
It is powered by USB-C charging, lasting up to 40 hours on a single charge. The battery level is conveniently shown on the display, so there are no surprises in the middle of a busy morning rush. That is why the Acaia Lunar La Marzocco black is also excellent for professional use, where the scale is in use from opening to closing.
At home, the scale makes your espresso hobby far more analytical. When flow rate, time and weight are visible at a glance, your espresso gets better one cup at a time. The result is a more even extraction and more of the aromas that good espresso coffee promises.
The Acaia Lunar La Marzocco black is also a stylish addition to your coffee station. The black colour goes with most setups, and the minimalist design keeps the overall look tidy. The two-button interface is so clear that you learn to use the scale quickly without a long introduction.
The box includes the scale, a USB-C cable, a 100 gram calibration weight and a heat-resistant pad. So everything you need is there as soon as you open the package. You will find more information on Acaia's website.
The result in the cup speaks for itself. When every variable is under control, espresso tastes the way it should: full-bodied, balanced and repeatable. Take a look at the rest of our espresso equipment and build the coffee station of your dreams.
