AKU Mini
Small scale.
Full brew feedback.
Weight, timing and live flow feedback in a 13 mm-low body. AKU Mini brings measurement into compact espresso setups and travel kits.
Compact setup
A low profile.
A clearer fit.
100 × 80 mm footprint. Just 13 mm high.
Plan your espresso setup around the scale and cup together. Mini’s low body helps when tray space and spout clearance are limited; its 165 g weight also makes it easy to pack.

Live measurement
Watch the shot
as it develops.
Weight, timing and live flow show more than the final yield.
Follow how quickly coffee reaches the cup, alongside the total weight and elapsed time. Use those readings to compare shots and identify what you want to change next.
Feedback is a way to observe.
The scale measures the load on its platform. Flow feedback relates to how that load changes over time; it does not directly measure flavour or extraction. Follow the Mini manual for the mode sequence and placement.
ESPRESSO MODE
Dose in.
Ratio in view.
AKU Spro brings your coffee dose and beverage yield together on one display.
Set your dose, then follow the live brew ratio and beverage weight as your shot develops. Automatic timing and optional flow feedback make it easier to compare one extraction with the next.
YOUR ROUTINE
Make the display
work for you.
Keep the information you want within easy reach.
Adjust brightness and sound, choose grams or ounces, and switch live flow feedback on or off. Manual and automatic modes let you choose how much of the workflow the scale handles.

Less charging.
Up to 10 hours of use, with a full USB-C charge in around two hours.
