Know before you buy
The Lunar measures 131 mm by 135 mm. It is specifically designed to fit most standard espresso machine drip trays, but we recommend measuring your available space to ensure a comfortable fit.

The Lunar features a water-resistant spray that protects the internal electronics and LCD display from spills and splashes. While it is durable enough for a busy coffee bar, it should not be submerged in water.
The scale includes several built-in modes that automatically detect the start of a shot and tare the weight for you. This allows you to focus entirely on your technique while the scale handles the timing and measurement.
Yes, the Acaia Lunar supports firmware updates via the companion app. This ensures your scale stays current with the latest features and performance improvements.
