Varia AKU Pro Espresso Scale

Varia’s AKU Pro scale is designed to take the brand’s ethos of variability to its extreme in the department of coffee and espresso weighing technology. Fully Bluetooth compatible, built with longevity in mind, and featuring dedicated espresso and pour-over brewing modes, the AKU Pro is the ultimate companion to the home brewer who wants one scale that serves all their brewing needs. 

Dimensions: 5 1/16” W, 4 3/8" D, 7/8" H

Features & Benefits

From a construction standpoint, the AKU Pro is a standout product. It’s made entirely from precisely-machined aluminum alloys and durable, non-slip silicone. The IPX 6 water resistance rating means it’s capable of withstanding powerful jets of hot water from any direction, and when we put that claim to the test, the scale absolutely delivered, continuing weighing functions even as we brewed hot espresso directly onto the weighing platform. 

The AKU Pro has all the features you’d come to expect from a professional-grade coffee and espresso scale: auto tare, auto time, first-drip recognition, and Bluetooth compatibility with third-party brew apps. But the AKU Pro has a couple extra tricks up its sleeve: dedicated espresso and pour-over brewing modes. In espresso brewing mode (AKU Spro), you input your espresso dose and the scale auto tares and times your extraction, giving you real-time brew ratios as your extraction progresses. In pour-over brewing mode (AKU Flow), you manually confirm coffee doses and vessel weights and the scale automatically begins timing when you start pouring, again providing live brew ratios as you pour. 

All of these features and functions are displayed clearly on the full-color, high-contrast screen, which makes reading times, flow rates, and weights easy and intuitive. 

The AKU Pro has non-slip silicone feet and comes with a silicone weighing pad for secure, worry-free brewing. And, keeping in line with Varia’s ethos of extreme variability, it’s simultaneously large enough to use as a pour-over scale and small enough to fit under a portafilter spout. 

Why You Should Get It

If you enjoy pour-overs and espresso and want a brew scale that supports both methods equally well, the AKU Pro is the way to go. No other scale offers the same features list, build quality, or versatility as the AKU Pro, and those that come close cost quite a bit more.
