Description
When our team first encountered the Baratza Sette, we were immediately struck by its innovative design approach.
Unlike traditional grinders, the Sette flips the script with its rotating outer burr mechanism, while the inner burr remains stationary.
What caught our attention was the straight-through grinding path – coffee beans travel directly downward into your portafilter or dosing cup, minimising retention.
The original model came with 30 substantial grind steps, which we found somewhat limiting for precise espresso adjustments.
Baratza clearly listened to user feedback, introducing a brilliant solution: a secondary adjustment ring that expands the possibilities to an impressive 270 settings.
Key Specifications:
- Macro and Micro adjustments for 270 grind settings
- 40mm conical steel burrs
- Hopper capacity 285g
- Three programmable doses
For coffee enthusiasts watching their budget, it’s worth noting that the original version (now known as the Sette 30) remains available.
Plus, there’s a clever upgrade path – you can purchase the Sette 30 and later add the micro-adjustment ring to effectively transform it into a Sette 270.
Through our extensive testing, we’ve found the Sette 270 delivers exceptional value, particularly at its current price point.
We’ve noticed that Coffee Hit, the primary UK distributor before Breville’s acquisition, has significantly reduced prices across the entire Baratza range.
This pricing shift could signal an exciting development in the UK coffee scene – if these new price points reflect updated RRPs due to increased import volumes, we might be witnessing a transformation in the accessibility of quality coffee grinders for British coffee lovers.
