Acaia ORBIT Grinder

The Orbit, our first coffee grinder, is equipped with unique features to satisfy your coffee brewing requirements. The grinder is single-dose friendly, with features such as an automatic cleansing purge that reduces grinding retention. If you prefer to use an Acaia Lunar, you can also activate the Orbit’s grind-by-weight feature and enjoy uncomplicated dosing. Built with Acaia’s proprietary technology, from the motor driver to the companion app, it offers sophisticated RPM control and overall energy savings.

Specification

ORBIT ECLIPSE

Orbit is prepared to fulfil all of your coffee preparation requirements. It has 64mm flat steel burrs, stepless grind adjustment, and a single-dose workflow that incorporates a knocking chute and automatic purge to minimise coffee retention.

The companion application provides customization options for the three grinding configurations, such as RPM adjustment and profile creation. When paired with a Lunar espresso scale, the Orbit’s grind-by-weight feature enables you to grind precisely the right quantity of beans every time without weighing them beforehand.

SINGLE-DOSE

Weigh your whole beans and grind them with the least amount of retention. Pull off a flawless strike without wastage.

GRIND-BY-WEIGHT

Connect your Lunar weighing scale to the orbit. Always grind precisely the correct amount.

64 MM BURRS

The Orbit’s Mazzer 33M 64mm burrs make it ideal for both espresso and filter brewing. In the foreseeable future, SSP Multipurpose burrs will be available as an option.

STEPLESS ADJUSTMENT

The 0.75 mm thread pitch of the Orbit permits for precise adjustment of your shot, from light roast to dark roast coffee.

PERSONALIZE YOUR ORBIT

Adjust the grind speed between 600 and 1,500 RPM, switch the Orbit button actions, save profiles for grind by weight or grind by time, and more using the Orbit companion app.

ENERGY EFFICIENT

Environmental consciousness is a social obligation, according to Acaia. The Orbit is designed to reduce energy consumption while delivering industrial high performance and intelligent grinding. It was created using proprietary technology developed in-house over many years.

ORBIT TOLERANCES

During the quality control procedure, every Orbit part is measured individually. This is to ensure that they meet our exacting specifications and allow for optimal burr alignment. For instance, our grinders must meet or exceed the following requirements:

Burr mounting surfaces with a flatness of 10 microns
Motor drive shaft concentricity is 20 microns
Other essential components with 20 micron tolerances

BURR ALIGNMENT

After assembly, our team tests every grinder for functionality, alignment, and quality of grind. Using optical imaging software, we measure the distance between the burr lock point and the burr contact point in order to evaluate the uniformity of ground coffee during testing. Acceptable distances for Mazzer 33M burrs are 1.5 marks and for SSP Multipurpose burrs, 1 mark.
