Acaia Pearl Scale – Model S – Black

The Pearl Model S from Acaia has been designed to be a link between coffee roasters and serious home brewers. Featuring a built-in interactive brewing guide, the Acaia Pearl Model S is an easy way for roasters and home brewers to connect and share their favourite recipes. Using the accompanying Brewguide app., home brewers can transfer recommended recipes onto the Model S scale, and then use the prompts on the scale to brew, without using the app. The Brewguide app. makes sharing recipes super easy – even if other brewers don’t have the app or a Model S scale, recipes can be shared via a link or a QR code, which takes them to the recipe on a website.
