The season might be changing, but that isn’t slowing us down! After the announcement of the Pyxis Black at the SCAJ conference in Japan last week, we've got even more news for you. Read ahead for some of our highlights, including the release of two products today: the Umbra Duo scale and the mini tasting cup. We also cover where to find our team at HostMilano, taking place October 17-21.
Umbra Duo Release
This season, we welcome the Umbra Duo to our catalogue. It is the wider and higher capacity sibling to our Acaia Umbra scale.
We design and build products to improve the efficiency and enjoyment of your coffee routine. That routine could be on the stage, in the cafe, or daily on your home brew bar.
The Umbra and Umbra Duo stand out for their display-free design and their ability to instantly share data with other Acaia products or your smartphone. If you’re a one-scale setup, the Duo is an ideal addition to elevate your workflow. Pair with the Acaia Lunar to weigh your portafilter on the expanded surface. You can instantly switch between the two scales' readings via the Magic Relay function. Link with the Pearl to split shots on the machine with ease or brew two different pour-overs simultaneously. You can even create larger filter brews with its 1500-gram capacity.
If you are dabbling in home brewing for the first time and looking for your first scale, the Umbra or Umbra Duo are excellent candidates. Cast your extraction's time and weight live to your smartphone via the Brewmaster app as you explore the world of coffee. Find the Umbra Duo now on our US, EU, and Japan websites.
Pyxis Black
On September 24, we announced the release of the Pyxis Black in Japan, to coincide with the start of the SCAJ conference. The Pyxis Black is our hyper-precision scale. Measuring just 6.5 cm by 6.5 cm, the scale delivers exceptional accuracy, customizable modes, and extraction logging. It is set to release on our US and EU webstores very soon.
If you would like to be notified when it is available in your area, find our sign-ups and more information on our blog post here.
Mini Tasting Cup
Our new Miniature Tasting Cup is the convenient companion for your coffee journey. Crafted from high-quality ceramic, it keeps your espresso at the optimal temperature for longer, if your brew lasts that long! It's also ideal for slurping, sipping, and savouring at your next coffee event. The cup comes with a fabric lanyard, so you can go hands-free while walking the event floor.
HostMilano
Join us for the upcoming HostMilano exhibition, October 17-21, in Milan, Italy. The event welcomes professionals and brands from the international hospitality and catering sector. Find the Acaia team and our products at the Trismoka booth (Pavilion 16, E42), close to the World Barista Championships stage. Visit us to demo the Orbit, Umbra series, and Pyxis Black.
You can also participate in some exclusive on-booth competitions hosted by our partners. If you're a national barista champion competing in Milan, you can also reach out to us for support! Contact us via our social media or at hello@acaia.co.
