Details Product Specs
The Acaia Umbra is a highly specialized scale designed for connected café workflows - not for standalone use. It does not have a display. Instead, it sends real-time weight data to another Acaia scale through the Magic Relay function, or to your phone via the Acaia app. That means you’ll need either another Acaia device or a mobile device to view measurements.
This minimalist, display-free setup is meant to streamline multi-scale workflows - like starting a shot on one scale while prepping your next dose on another. If you’re looking for a traditional scale with an on-screen display, this is not the right fit.
Compact enough for small espresso machines and mobile bars, the Umbra is built from water-resistant anodized aluminum for durability and precision. Its design helps conserve energy and extend battery life, making it ideal for tech-forward cafés already using Acaia’s connected ecosystem.
Use the Umbra as part of a paired system for logging brew data, tracking consistency, and viewing visual graphs through the Acaia app. On its own, it won’t display measurements -so plan to integrate it into your existing setup for best results.
