Features & Capabilities

Brewguide is the companion App for the Acaia Pearl S

Welcome to your new scale! The Acaia Pearl S pairs with all of our apps but this is the one to use to set up the scale. If you don’t have a Pearl S, you can still browse and create recipes.

In Brewguide, you can:

Walk through a setup guide to adjust settings like turning on/off modes, changing the weight unit, adjusting the auto-off timer, turning on/off the button sound, and changing the temperature unit.
Personalize your Pearl S with your own loading message
Browse official recipes or create and share your own with a QR code or link
Easily transfer a recipe to your Pearl S - the scale holds one recipe at a time

To enter Brewguide mode, where you view the loaded recipe’s prompted steps, hold the Tare button until you see “Brewguide” on the scale.

User Reviews

Reviews show Brewguide offers recipe sharing, learning tools, and pour-over dialing-in with the Pearl S, but is hampered by crashes, connectivity problems, fragmented apps, and stagnant content. Users want a single, well-supported app with broader content and the ability to apply in-app customizations to the scale.

Pros

Helps dial in pour-over brewing and improves consistency when using the Pearl S scale.
Allows finding and uploading recipes, enabling learning and building a recipe library with helpful tutorial videos.
Super convenient with level-3 guides for brewing.
Strong value proposition; Brewguide is a key reason some users buy the Pearl S.
Potential for a community-driven library of recipes and sharing.

Cons

Crashes and bugs when editing or saving recipes; can't delete saved recipes.
Bluetooth/connection issues and device compatibility; frequent pairing troubles.
Fragmented app ecosystem with multiple separate apps; hard to browse or discover recipes.
Content feels stagnant—limited guides and lack of regular updates; few brewing methods.
Customization settings can't be applied to the scale; confusing or unfriendly user interface.

Recent reviews

Some good basic ideas but functionally confusing and needs a lot of work to be user friendly and easier to sync with the scale and Brewmaster app

The Brewguide/Pearl S Setup has really helped me dial in my pour over game. I’ve noticed immediate improvements in my ability to consistently make a fantastic cup of coffee!

Needs some basic improvements, and needs a community integration so we can see/share recipes within the app and give them ratings or basic stats like how many brews have been done with what recipe. If you have a problem with it connecting you have to toggle your Bluetooth on and off. All apps by these folks are bad, so this is just how it is. It never gets updates.
