My second set of Felicita Arc scales just failed and I’m considering getting the Lunar scales as a replacement. I’ve got the Pearl which I really like but obviously it’s way too big for the drip tray.

The Arc served me well (first set lasted 2 years, second 3 years) but I’m wondering if anyone here has used the Lunar for longer and still working well? I’ve seen a number of coffee shops using Acaia scales so my thinking is that if they’re standing up to 100s of coffees a day in a commercial environment they’ll last a while at home.

I know I can get some scales for £5 and I know the Lunar doesn’t do anything radical, it just looks nice and hopefully well made like the Pearl so I’m happy to spend a bit of money on it.

    We have many sets of acaia lunars that are all still working, not sure if we have broken any. Also acaia support is great usually, they can fix them sometimes if you do run into issues. We have had 3 or 4 felicita arc scales break so I have never really wanted to purchase them again.

    I am getting a Bookoo Themis Mini Scale soon (for work) but I can’t comment on it’s features or reliability yet

      Thanks, that’s exactly what I wanted to hear. I remember reading about quality support from them too so good to have it confirmed.

        My lunar was second hand / ex display from Hasbean when i got it. ive had it about maybe 4 hears.

        It survived a bombing attempt by my wife launching a heavy weight at it. I filed down the offending lump missing from it. It’s there just to remind her. I never tried to paint it back to back.

        Had a swollen battery maybe 18 months ago, replaced from amazon.

        I must admit i actually never tried Acaia customer service.

        Test weight still reads 100.00g

        Had it when i had the sage DB, synchronika for timing and weighing.

        Since moving on to the evo its just required for weighing beans and dialling in. Overkill now, yes, but wont replace until it dies.

        It is very quick to respond and 100 percent repeatable. It gets wet regularly.

        I sold the leveller to stop her having a second attempt it was useless anyway!

            Had my Lunar scales for years - hasn’t missed a beat…..probably will now. Same with the Pearl.

            Really great to hear thanks everyone, just placed an order.
