Demo Acaia
Orbit Black, White, And Space Gray
Test our brand-new trio of grinder colorways! The Orbit Black, White, and Space Gray were released last month on our US, EU, and Japan websites. All three grinders now incorporate our Multi-Purpose Hopper. Replacing the original funnel, the grinders arrive preinstalled with the metal hopper. It includes a lid to reduce noise and prevent flying dust.
Reimagined Ion Beam
The latest Acaia ion generator is shorter than its predecessor but with the same static-neutralizing effect. It features a new IR Mode: where the generator detects when an object, like a dosing cup, is placed in front of it. This "sense" ability automatically switches the product on for a more streamlined workflow.
Orion Nano
Meet the Orion Nano, a winner in last year's Best New Product awards at World of Coffee Athens. Our smallest bean doser has a unique smart feature when connected with other Orion Nanos. The integration called the Orion’s Belt enables effortless customization of dosing.
In the Booth
The booth will be run by our Portland team, along with some of our international staff. We won’t all be there at the same time, so if you would like to set up a meeting, send us an email to hello@acaia.co ASAP!
