With the Lunar Base, the scale glides smoothly over the slots, sits higher, and is shielded from heat and moisture – and the weight is accurate, without the tray interfering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt's an inconspicuous part that, in continuous operation on the machine, makes the difference between \"it's okay\" and \"it works.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat makes the Acaia Lunar Base special\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Lunar Base is a reinforced base mounted on the bottom of the Acaia Lunar. Its enlarged profile acts as a shield between the scale and the drip tray: it protects the sensitive electronics from the heat and moisture that collect in shallow drip trays, and prevents tray edges or splashing water from disrupting the movement of the weighing surface – exactly what otherwise falsifies measurements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe outer base is made of polycarbonate and allows the scale to glide easily over slotted drip grids – practical if you frequently move the Lunar during operation. It extends about 4 mm per side beyond the Lunar, creating the necessary distance to the tray edge. This part is primarily designed for intensive, daily use on an espresso machine, where stable, repeatable results are crucial. Whether you need it depends on your setup – this is just our view, one of many.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAt a glance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\n\u003ctable class=\"ccc-compare-table\"\u003e\n\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\n\u003cth\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/th\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003eAcaia Lunar\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\n\u003cth\u003eFunction\u003c\/th\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003eshields from heat and moisture, stabilizes on the drip tray\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\n\u003cth\u003eMaterial\u003c\/th\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003ealuminum inner base (replacement), polycarbonate outer base\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\n\u003cth\u003eProjection\u003c\/th\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003eapprox. 4 mm per side beyond the Lunar\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\n\u003cth\u003eMounting\u003c\/th\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003emounts to the bottom of the Lunar; tool included\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\n\u003cth\u003eScope of delivery\u003c\/th\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003ealuminum inner base, polycarbonate outer base, mounting hardware and tool\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWho the Lunar Base is for\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Lunar Base is aimed at anyone who permanently uses their Acaia Lunar as an espresso scale on the drip tray – especially where a lot of coffee is brewed and the tray is shallow or slotted.
