acaia AIM001 Ion Beam

Introduction

Welcome to your new Acaia Ion Beam.

Specifically designed to address the common issue of static electricity generated during the coffee grinding process, the Acaia Ion Beam features an industrial-grade ion generator that effectively minimizes static generated from grinding.

The static electricity is neutralized, reducing the retention of coffee grounds and minimizing flying chaff and clumps. The Ion Beam neutralizes either the positive or negative charges that build up during the grinding process, eliminating the static electricity that causes coffee grounds to cling together.

With the Acaia Ion Beam, you can expect a better coffee grinding experience, with less mess and more consistency

Features

• Industrial-grade ion generator that generates concentrated high density negative or positive ions
• Works for light roasted coffee to dark roasted coffee
• Portable design to work with different coffee grinders.
• Reduces flying chaffs, clumps and retention for coffee preparation
