Acaia Lunar Kit
Acaia Lunar Kit – includes the Acaia Lunar 2022 Espresso Drip Tray Scale and the Acaia Portafilter Weighing Plate. Real-time flow rate display, 0.01g precision, and a magnetic plate for portafilter weighing. Ideal for a precise espresso workflow.
Precision and Portafilter Workflow in One – Acaia Lunar Kit
The Acaia Lunar Kit brings together two essential tools for espresso accuracy: the Acaia Lunar 2022 Espresso Scale and the Lunar Portafilter Weighing Plate. Built for baristas who demand speed, reliability, and consistency, this combo enhances workflow and simplifies espresso shot preparation with industry-grade weighing accuracy and a custom-fit magnetic weighing surface.
How the Acaia Lunar Kit Works
The Acaia Lunar 2022 features fast-response weighing with 0.01 g resolution, a real-time flow-rate LED bar, and auto-start modes to streamline your bar. Paired with the magnetic weighing plate, you can dose directly into your portafilter or weigh dual cappuccino cups with increased stability and precision. The EVA foam on the plate helps dampen vibrations for more reliable readings, while the scale’s auto-timer, tare function, and Bluetooth app support enhance your brew control.

How to Use the Acaia Lunar Kit
Attach the magnetic weighing plate to the Acaia Lunar. Place your portafilter or cups on the EVA foam surface. Use the auto-tare or tare-save functions to streamline your weighing process. Select between six espresso modes or pour-over mode depending on your brewing style. The scale will automatically start and stop the timer based on flow detection or when the cup is removed.
Maintenance & Cleaning
Wipe both the scale and weighing plate with a soft cloth and warm water. Avoid detergents and do not submerge. Charge the scale using the included USB-C cable. The weighing plate should be removed before gently washing the EVA surface by hand, if needed.
Best Practices for Brewing with the Acaia Lunar Kit
Use the Tare Save feature to store your dosing container weight. Attach the weighing plate when using a portafilter to reduce movement and prevent the machine from tilting. Activate the flow-rate LED for visual guidance, and take advantage of Bluetooth connectivity to track and analyse your brewing metrics through Acaia apps.
