The Bluetooth-enabled device can connect to Acaia apps on your phone, but the app that we used were glitchy. The Lunar model has six modes specifically built for coffee, as the dual-display screen can give the brew time and weight at the same time. It gives the most precise (weighs in 0.1 increments) and accurate readings among all the products we’ve tested, and it never displays unstable readings.

The buttons are also very responsive, whether you’re switching from metric to imperial or you’re starting the timer to calculate the brew time. There’s no wait time-turn it on, and you’ll get instant readings.

Its compact size makes it portable and easy to store (which is essential if you’re adding a dedicated coffee scale on top of what you already own). If price is no concern, then this is the best coffee scale for those who brew single-serve pour-over and espresso coffee regularly. The Acaia Lunar model is by far the most impressive coffee scale we’ve ever tested. Our top-scoring scales have a little something for everyone-no matter the size of your kitchen, budget, or mixing bowl. We paid attention to ease of use, accuracy of measurements, and even how much work it took to clean them. As consumer demands have shifted from weighing foods to also include coffee, we added six new scales, including the most popular coffee scales. In our first roundup, we tested 13 of the most popular digital kitchen scales to find the best ones on the market. How do you know which scale is right for you?

But kitchen scales come in all shapes and sizes, and some are better than others. If you’re using a really good scale, it will make food prep easier and more accurate. And, if you’re serious about making the best cup of pour-over coffee, the Bonavita coffee scale is the best at keeping track of the weight and brew time. After testing, we’ve found the Escali Primo kitchen scale ( available at Amazon for $27.11) to be the best addition to your kitchen lineup. It ensures you’re using the right amount of ingredients in a recipe, or helps you precisely measure bean-to-water ratios while making coffee. Whether you’re an occasional baker or committed to a healthy diet, a kitchen scale is a must-have. Written by Kori Perten and Valerie Li Stack
