How to change the scale’s weight unit

Can I weigh in ounces?

You can weigh in either grams or ounces for our scales. There are three different ways to change the scale’s weight unit.

 

On the scale

For the original Pearl, Pearl 2021, Pyxis, and Pearl S 2022 switch your mode to the weighing only mode (no timer displayed). Long press the T button. You’ll see the LED display change. Scroll down to see photos of the scale’s grams’ and ounces’ displays.

For the original Pearl S, hold the T button. You’ll see the display change from your current mode to “Brewguide” to the unit. This can be changed from any mode.

*Based on feedback we've received, the Lunar can be switched between grams and ounces only via the app or the scale's setup menu.

Through an Acaia app

Connect the scale to one of our apps and switch it in the Settings menu.

All of our apps have a settings menu that allows you to change the unit from inside the app. Below is an example of accessing the Acaia Coffee app settings and switching from grams to ounces.

 

1. Establish a Bluetooth connection with the app, then navigate to the settings menu.
2. In settings, tap the “Acaia Scale” menu option and tap “Weight Unit”
3. The scale will then beep and switch to the selected unit.

 

Through the scale’s Settings menu

Every scale has its own Settings menu that you can access through a combination of the two Power and T buttons.
