If I wanted something of that for factor, I’d get a BooKoo, which look really cool. I’m not a huge fan of Acaia

New Acaia scale without a display

Yeah that’s the one I tried as I agree it looks good.
It was faulty on arrival and I had a bit of a mare sending it back. May well have been a one-off but it didn’t give me a lot of faith.

Adrianmsmith it seems to also galve the weight it goes too 1kg not 2 (though not a biggy for espresso 😂)
The lunar does now seem really expensive - sure i paid nothing like that when I bought mine
Interesting idea but seems like a narrow range of uses, would prefer they just had a programmable on-off display. I mean how much more would it cost to add some led too! But realistically that would then undercut the Lunar by £100.
Plus you just know Acaia are dropping at least one new app for this thing 😂

I wonder if it works with the Linea Mini/Micra to do the target weight auto-stop thing. Guessing not, given the price difference between that and the LM version of the Lunar.

HarveyMushman There is probably some firmware change for that version to link to the LM’s - though does the micra offer that at all ? Way overpriced imho but that’s the LM way like for its previous rebadged grinders.
So having a quick look and you can get the Lunar for about £290 (Hamlet) - which in the uk almost matches the euro price on the acaia euro website ( I assume if you ordered direct VAT would be added on arrival).
It will be interesting to see how the umbra lunar is priced once other stockists have it in the UK.

EDITED:
They do appear to remove VAT for UK orders so it’s £108 + about £27 shipping then fees on top when it arrives.
I’ve just ordered one.

Ok, shipping was actually free so it cost £108 all in.
Assuming 20% + a bit in fees on that when it lands, it’s not too bad.
Still ridiculous for a scale with no display but I’m way past ridiculous purchases by this point.

HarveyMushman be interested in your thoughts when it arrives.
I’ve been trying to suss if it works with the older Pearl models, but haven’t been successful yet.
Oh gosh yeah I didn’t think about that… when was the ‘older’ Pearl released? I’ve had mine a while.
La Marzocco Linea Mini - Mazzer Philos
HarveyMushman no idea, I just know mine isn’t the current model with the little dots running across the top of the display. I’ve had mine 6 or 7 years I think.
HarveyMushman Still ridiculous
Ridiculous starts > £9999, no? 🤭

@BrewLiam HarveyMushman they do have a picture of the old Pearl in the bit where it talks about the relay switching, if it’s as smooth as they say and just a tap it’s a great feature for sure.
Nice, yeah I’ve been checking in the meantime and I think mine is the newer one with Brewguide and all that.

FadedFrontiers might be one of these on the cards for me then. Likely give it a few months to see how they fair in the hands of real people.
