Designed to work both as a portable accessory for electric coffee grinders, or to be mounted directly onto the Acaia Orbit, the Acaia Ion Beam reduces static in grinding by directly integrating onto your coffee grinder.
The Acaia Ion Beam is equipped with an industrial-grade ion generator that efficiently minimises static generated during the grinding process, resulting in reduced retention, less flying chaff, and less clumping.
This is accomplished by emitting a continuous flow of charged ions that neutralise the static charge buildup during grinding. The Ion Beam generates negative ions at the front end and positive ions at the back end for either positive or negative static buildup.
Acaia Ion Bean Features:
- Fast and concentrated ion generation: The Ion Beam is built with an industrial grade ion generator that generates more ions per unit space to minimise the static buildup for coffee grounds.
- IR Auto Start: The Acaia Ion Beam can be automatically activated by an infrared sensor that detects motion.
- Negative and positive static neutralisation: The Ion Beam emits positive and negative ions on different ends, to more effectively remove negative or positive coffee static build up.
- Better coffee grinding experience: Reduces flying chaffs, clumps and retention for coffee preparation.
- Portable and mountable: The Ion Beam can be used as a handheld portable device, or mounted on a standard tripod platform.
- Acaia App connectivity: The Ion Beam can connect with the orbit app to view the battery status and customise settings.

ESPRESSO
Espresso is one of the most concentrated beverages that humans can't seem to get enough of. Making perfectly dialed in coffee can be challenging at times but is not impossible, especially with the right tools.
ESPRESSO - BARISTA BASICS

COFFEE TO WATER RATIO
When brewing espresso you are constantly adjusting your variables to dial in your coffee. The coffee to water ratio is one of these variable.
Generally an espresso has a 1:2 Ratio but this isn't always the case and sometimes the word 'espresso' acts more as an umbrella term for coffees that are outside of this ratio.
A Lungo has a 1:3 ratio and a ristretto has a 1:1 ratio of coffee to water. -
WATER TEMPERATURE
COFFEE MACHINESBrewing espresso at different water temperatures will change how your coffee is extracted and the overall taste of your espresso.
Using a hotter water temperature will increased the body and sweetness but will have a greater chance of astringency and bitterness, while cooler water temperature will reduce bitterness, body and sweetness and can resulting in a sour, brighter espresso. -
PRESSURE FOR ESPRESSO
Pressure is a critical factor in brewing espresso, typically measured in bars. The most common pressure for extracting espresso is around 9 bars. Proper pressure ensures optimal extraction, balancing the flavours and aromas.
Adjusting your pressure throughout the one extraction is known as pressure profiling and is an entire rabbit hole in itself.

FRESHLY GROUND VS PRE-GROUND
SHOP GRINDERSGrinding your coffee right before you brew will drastically improve the taste of your coffee. The reason for this is that once you grind your coffee it has a much larger surface area and straight away starts to loose it's freshness.

I was blown away with how well this actually works!
Feels really well built just like an Acaia product and the motion detector works every time without missing a beat.
