General Information
Orbit Grinding
The Orbit comes with unique features to meet your coffee brewing needs. The
grinder is single-dosing friendly with features such as automatic cleaning
purge that helps to reduce retention when grinding. You can also activate
Orbit’s grind-by-weight function by pairing with the latest Acaia Lunar and
enjoy an effortless dosing experience.
Built and designed with Acaia’s proprietary technology from the motor driver
to the companion app, Orbit offers advanced control of RPM and overall energy
savings. See the information below to explore the features of Orbit.
Start / Stop Grinding
Click the Orbit button to easily start / stop a grinding session.
Adjust Grinding Speed
Press and hold the Orbit button to switch between 3 default RPM profiles. The 3 presets are each represented by a different color light. You can access the RPM profiling feature through the Orbit app.
LED Indicator Color White Blue Cyan
Preset Name (In App) Preset A Preset B Preset C
Preset RPM 600 RPM 1000 RPM 1500 RPM
Hot Start / Cold Start
You can either start grinding by adding beans into the Orbit while the grinder
is started (hot start) or before it is started (cold start). Note that the
particle distribution of the ground coffee may slightly change depending on
the way you start grinding.
Knocker
The knocker is just behind the Orbit spout. Use the knocker 2 to 3 times to
knock out as much retention as possible. You can change the direction of the
knocker for left-handed or right-handed users. Please refer to our Orbit
videos list on how to change the orientation of the knocker.
9
Burr Zero Point
The point where the burrs can no longer be adjusted finer. When turning the
adjustment dial finer, it will encounter total resistance and will not be able
to turn. DO NOT attempt to turn on the grinder when burrs are at zero as
damage may occur. Note that the “0” on the grind adjustment ring does not
equal the Burr Zero Point for your Orbit.
Burr Touch Point
The point where the burrs make initial contact with each other and make an
audible sound of metal-on-metal scraping. This is the finest possible grind
setting. If performing a burr alignment or installing new burrs, the burr
touch point may change position. Attempting to grind finer than the burr touch
point may result in damage to the burrs or motor.
Detent Ring
The detent ring is a moveable ring that sits above the adjustment ring. It is
marked with symbols that can be used as reference points for grind settings.
Stepless Adjustment
Orbit’s setting dial has a 0.75 mm thread pitch that allows smooth and
continuous adjustment from espresso to filter coffee in just one rotation.
That gives plenty of room to fine-tune your shots, as well as swap from small
pour over brews to large batches whenever you need to.
Auto-stop
The Orbit will automatically stop grinding once the bean chamber is empty
after 3 seconds. If the Orbit is turned on without any beans in it, the
grinder will automatically stop after 15 seconds. You can adjust the auto-stop
setting through the Orbit App for continuous grinding. Once the auto-stop
setting is turned off, the grinder will continue grinding until it is manually
stopped by the Orbit button.
10
Auto-purge
Orbit will automatically purge after each grind to reduce the retention. The
Orbit will show a yellow light when in purging with a fast reverse spin, then
a forward spin. You can manually trigger the purging sequence by triple
clicking the Orbit button. This setting can be turned off through the Orbit
App. Once turned off, the Orbit will not auto-purge after each grind.
Reverse-And-Adjust
Utilize the “Reverse-and-Adjust” function for effortless switching between
filter and espresso grind settings. Select “Orbit Button Action” and assign
one of the button functions to “Reverse-AndAdjust.” This feature is unique to
the Orbit grinder. When you trigger the action button with a triple click, the
burrs will continuously reverse, expelling coffee particles. After just a few
seconds of reversing, the dial can be adjusted finer as usual. General tips: ·
Before adjusting the dial, try the Orbit Purge
(triple click). · Keep the grinder running while adjusting the
dial, following common practice in most other grinders. · Add a few coffee
beans and grind them while adjusting the dial back and forth simultaneously.
This action helps dislodge and clear any stuck particles. · Utilize the
triple-click feature to reverse spin the burr at a low RPM, making it easier
to adjust the dial from coarse to fine, even if coffee particles are lodged
between the burrs.
11
Stall Prevention
When grinding, if the Orbit burrs stall and stop grinding, it will
automatically stop the motor. The button will flash red to notify the user
that a stall has occurred, and the Orbit will then restart the motor to try to
grind again. In many cases, the momentary pause and restart will correct the
stall and grinding will continue successfully. After stalling 5 times, the
Orbit will stop the motor and will not attempt to restart again. In this case,
you may need to adjust the grind coarser and try again, open the grinder to
clear a piece of debris (such as a piece of concrete or wood that was mixed in
with the beans), or contact customer service for support. If the Orbit
encounters extremely hard beans or rocks and any other foreign objects, it may
shut down automatically without warning immediately to protect the system from
overloading. If this issue occurs, please follow our deep cleaning
instructions and remove any beans or foreign objects.
Note: · To see our single-dose grinding workflow, go to the Orbit videos list
on the Acaia
YouTube Channel. · The auto-stop and auto-purge function are both ON by
default. The auto-purge
sequence will only be initiated when the auto-stop function is on. · The Orbit
should only be used to grind roasted coffee beans. Attempting to grind
other materials or products may result in damage or malfunction of the
grinder. 12

RPM Profile Overview
The Orbit features Acaia’s first-in-class RPM profiling, which allows you to
explore new particle size distributions created by shifting the RPM of the
grinder. When grinding coffee, the rotation speed of the burrs (RPM) has an
effect on the uniformity of the grinds created. With the Orbit, you can design
your own RPM profile to experiment with how shifting RPM affects the
uniformity and flavor of your brews.
To access the RPM profiling feature, first connect the Orbit app to your Orbit
grinder. For each profile (A, B, and C) you can set a 2-stage RPM profile. The
stages can be set between 600-1500 RPM, and include a timer to set how long
each stage should run. RPM profiling is only available while the Orbit is
connected to the Orbit app. RPM profiling is not available in grind-by-weight
mode. The modified settings from the app will be saved to the Orbit, and first
stage settings will be saved into the App preset.
1 To adjust this setting, first make sure you are connected to Orbit through the app.
2 Choose either Preset A, B, or C. Enter the RPM profile settings.

Grind-by-Weight with the Acaia Lunar
Mode Introduction
The Orbit comes with a grind-by-weight mode that can be activated through a
paired Acaia Lunar. In grind-by-weight mode, you can set the target weight and
desired RPM for your grinding session. The grinder will automatically stop
grinding once the target weight is reached.
Acaia Sense Technology
When the target weight is reached, the Orbit will automatically stop the motor
and complete the grinding session. With the machine learning Acaia Sense
technology built in, the predictive offset will be dynamically adjusted each
time to ensure the most accuracy and repeatability of the dose in grind-by-
weight.
Acaia Lunar on Orbit
You can enable the grind-by-weight mode by connecting the Orbit to the Lunar.
With the Lunar connected, the Orbit supports 3 customizable presets for
weight-based grinding, also including an auto-start grinding function to give
you a hands-free operating experience. See the instructions in the next
section on how to pair your Lunar to Orbit and how the Lunar functions when
connected to the grinder.
Auto-Grinding for Hands-free Operation
The Orbit bears an auto-start function that supports an auto-grinding
workflow. With the auto-start and auto-stop setting both enabled, you can
grind easily by just placing your cup on the paired Acaia Lunar. The Orbit
will start grinding once a cup weighing more than 5 grams is placed on the
Lunar, and stop when the target weight is reached. You can enable the auto-
start setting via the Orbit App, or through the paired Acaia Lunar. · Open the
Orbit App or use the paired Acaia Lunar. · If using the Lunar, ensure it is
connected to the Orbit. · Switch to Manual Mode; the Orbit button will turn
Magenta. · Press and hold the T button on the Lunar scale until [ Ato On ] is
displayed. · Switch back to your desired RPM profile to activate Auto-

Product Care Information
Care and Cleaning
Do not immerse the Orbit in water. Use a soft cloth with warm water only to
clean the product. Do not use detergent or other chemicals for cleaning as
this can damage the product. To maintain a low retention for the Orbit, we
recommend cleaning the spout regularly in the steps below:
1. Remove the spout extender and use the knocker multiple times.
2. Using a small cross slot screwdriver, remove the two screws from the Orbit
spout on the burr housing.
3. Remove the spout. Clean the Orbit spout with a brush and activate purge by
triple clicking the Orbit button.
4. Reassemble the Orbit spout with the burr housing and fasten with two
screws. These screws can be replaced with thumb screws for easy assembly.
5. Attach the spout extender.
Do not perform burr cleaning or burr replacement without proper knowledge or
technique. Acaia is not responsible for realignment or reassembly of the
grinder once it is disassembled.
25
Appendix
Troubleshooting
The Orbit button will turn Red
and stop grinding when the motor encounters an issue. The
following are some instructions for basic troubleshooting:
1. Turn off the main power and adjust the dial towards a coarser grind. Try
restarting the grinder. 2. If step 1 does not fix the issue, please follow our
cleaning steps and clean the Orbit
thoroughly. Make sure there are no foreign substances in the bean chamber
before restarting the grinder. 3. If the Red light persists, please contact
our customer support service for further assistance.
Common Problems
Q1: What is the “seasoning” of burrs, and why is it important? A: The
seasoning of burrs is a process that occurs over time as the burrs grind
coffee. After a certain period, the grind particles become more consistent,
which contributes to a better brewing result. The amount of time it takes for
burrs to become seasoned can vary based on different factors such as usage and
the type of beans being used.
Q2: Can I adjust the touch point to 0 on the dial? A: No, it’s not possible to
match the touch point to 0 on the dial because each grinder is built to match
the specific burr set it is using. However, we have designed the detent ring
to help users mark their own zero point or touch point for future reference.
Q3: Does the dosing cup magnet affect scale readings? A: The dosing cup magnet
can affect the readings, but this does not impact the weighing after you
perform a tare. The weight result will remain accurate and consistent.
Q4: What could be causing a rubbing sound in my grinder? A: The rubbing sound
could be caused by particles stuck between the burrs or by the burrs touching
each other at very fine settings.
Q5: What could cause a “chirping sound” from the grinder besides the burr
“touching point”? A: The chirping sound could be due to particles from
previous grind sessions. You can try running the grinder and rotating the dial
slightly past the marked touch point, then back to coarser grind settings.
Q6: Is it normal for the Orbit to have a delay when starting? A: Yes, the
Orbit takes about 1-2 seconds to wake up after being on standby for a long
period of time. We are working on improving this user experience.
Q7: What if grinds are coming out of the adjustment dial? A: In the long run,
there might be some grinds coming out rarely, but this is unavoidable. When
this happens, clean the dial ring by opening up the front cap, and it will
resolve the issue.
Q8: How does the Orbit perform in terms of retention? A: The Orbit is designed
as a low retention grinder, usually with less than 0.1 grams of retention from
dose to dose. We have made adjustments and improvements to the knocker,
breaker, and dosing cup pad to ensure consistent removal of retention.
