Baratza Sette 30 Electric coffee grinder

Product Information

Where the Baratza 270 falls is with a coarser grind size. While you might technically be able to grind coarsely enough for French press or cold brew, you will not get the excellent grind consistency that you would with a fine grind. What’s great is that you can remove the hopper without emptying it. A small lever on the side will close off the chute at the bottom.

The display is the same in all Sette grinders, but the major changes are in the buttons; the Sette 30 has 4 buttons and the 270 has 7 buttons. As they are based on time grinding; so, when you set the time for grinding, apart from seconds, these machines go an extra mile and let you set 100 milliseconds which is one-tenth of a second – that gives more control and accuracy. Design and Build

Sette grinders are marketed as espresso grinders, but with enough range to take on manual brewing methods. They are more versatile than the more expensive Baratza Forte grinder. The stripped-down Sette 30 offers a budget option, with only 30 grind settings. The 270 and 270Wi both have the same inner workings, but the 270 grinds by time, whereas the Sette 270Wi grinds by weight – for which you can expect a jump in price. On the 30, you set one grind time in hundredth of a second intervals up to ten seconds and then tenth of a second increments for times over ten seconds. The 270 comes with 3 programmable timed presets on the W model it’s 3 programmable weight presets controlled by a built in scale. Portafilter Accommodation Baratza has also worked to develop a new set of softer feet that reduce vibration and improve accuracy with the scale.

Regardless of which Baratza Sette model you choose, you can be confident that it is an excellent espresso grinder for any beginner to making espresso at home. It pairs well with any espresso machines. An innovative display also comes with the Oxo Brew Grinder. The display is user-friendly and shows you the amount and remaining time.

Low Retention Grinder

Please bear in mind that not all manufacturers provide correct imagery and we may put a similar or alternative image to the actual product for illustration purposes only.The actual item you receive may differ from that which is displayed, for example the box may have changed or a model may have been upgraded or changed after we have added the product online. As we covered earlier, the grinds fall straight from the burrs to the basket, leaving fluffy grinds. This design also accounts for the device’s low retention – one of the lowest around. Having virtually zero retention is great for domestic espresso. It minimizes stale grounds from previous use. Also, it helps prevent waste because you don’t need to purge old coffee grounds whenever you alter the grind setting. Cleaning And Maintenance See, both grinders work very well with having the same design and grinding technology; that’s why it’s a bit tough to choose one between the Sette 30 and Sette 270. Many of the differences between the Baratza Sette 30 and the Breville Dose Control Pro also apply to the Breville Smart Grinder Pro, since the Smart Grinder Pro has similar internals to the Dose Control Pro – same burr group, similar motor (the Dose Control Pro is 130W; the Smart Grinder Pro is 160W), similar grinding speed, similar grind selection range, both come with two portafilter cradles, etc etc. The Baratza Sette 30 AP is perfect for those using machines with pressurised filter baskets looking to progress from pre-ground coffee or pods. It is also a great option for other brewing methods like pour-over, drip, or immersion brewing. Baratza does offer an optional BG or brew grind burr, which you might want to consider as the standard AP burr tends to grind on the fine side of medium.
