Baratza Sette 30 Burr Coffee Grinder

Let’s cut straight to the heart of what makes the Baratza Sette 30 unique in our extensive testing experience.

This straightforward model strips back the complexity of its siblings in the Sette range, offering 30 distinct grind settings instead of the 270 adjustment points found in the 270 and 270 WI models.

What caught our attention during our hands-on testing is that beneath this simplified adjustment system, the Sette 30 shares the same innovative engineering as its more premium counterparts.

The design features two standout elements that we find particularly impressive: a direct vertical grinding path that channels grounds straight from the burrs to your portafilter, and a distinctive outer rotating burr system that sets it apart from traditional conical grinders.

And yes, we’d be remiss not to mention its rather clever design that mirrors the number seven – a detail that never fails to bring a smile to our faces in the test kitchen.

Description

Looking for a straightforward espresso grinder that gets the job done without overwhelming you with options? The Sette 30 might be your perfect match.

Our team has extensively tested this grinder, and we’ve found it particularly suited to coffee enthusiasts who want quality grounds without getting caught up in minute adjustments.

Key Specifications:

  • 30 grind settings
  • 40mm conical Etzinger steel burrs
  • Hopper capacity 285g
  • Three programmable doses

The UK market has seen some interesting shifts in Sette pricing recently. Since becoming part of the Sage/Breville family, we’ve noticed substantially better value pricing – likely due to improved distribution channels and higher import volumes.

While we’re genuinely impressed with the Sette 30’s performance, we should mention that its sibling, the Sette 270, offers remarkable extra value for just a bit more investment. The 270’s Micro and Macro adjustment capabilities really do make a noticeable difference in your espresso game.

However, if precise grind adjustment isn’t top of your priority list, the Sette 30 presents a brilliant opportunity to save some money. Better yet, we love that you can upgrade to 270-level functionality later by simply purchasing the additional adjustment ring.

Like its more advanced sibling, the Sette 30 comes equipped with three programmable timed doses. If you’re interested in grinding by weight instead, you’ll want to check out the Sette 270 WI. We particularly appreciate the removable hopper and versatile portafilter cradles, which handily accommodate both traditional portafilter dosing and the included dosing cup.

One honest observation from our testing: these aren’t quiet machines. Think along the lines of a robust food processor – in fact, they’re among the more vocal grinders we’ve encountered in our coffee lab. But don’t let that put you off – the noise is a small trade-off for the quality of grind you’re getting at this price point.
