Overview
Numbers, but make them pretty. The Varia AKU Pro is a coffee scale for espresso and pour-over that weighs to 0.01 g up to 1 kg, shows dose, yield and brew ratio live on a full-colour OLED screen, and shrugs off splashes with an IPX6 rating. It builds on the AKU Mini with dedicated espresso and filter modes, Bluetooth and a USB-C battery that lasts around 10 hours.
