Baratza Sette 270 grinder

The anticipated Baratza Sette 270 and 270W grinders have finally been put on sale for modern households, but their performance and design will also serve well in commercial establishments.

Baratza has built the 270 and 270W set with hardware for efficient and fast grinding - 3.5 to 5.5 grams per second! Another innovation is the revolutionary grinding system where the outer grinding stone rotates and the inner - conical grinding stone is fixed, allowing for double the efficiency compared to other grinders that have the opposite grinding system. Thanks to this innovation, almost no coffee remains inside the mechanism, so you don't have to worry about having differently aged or ground coffee mixed in the next batch.

The 40 mmstainless steel conical grinding stones are capable of grinding very finely for espresso, but also very coarsely, for example, for frenchpress. The grind coarseness can be adjusted in 31 macro steps, the fine setting can be fine-tuned with 9 markers for the perfect espresso. The coarse/fine adjustment mechanism is directly connected to the conical grinding stone, resulting in instant and precise grind adjustment.

Both grinders have an anti-static container for ground coffee (160 g), but you can grind coffee directly into the lever, (the arms for the portafilter are adjustable) or any coffee brewing container, such as a dripper or French press. The bean hopper can hold 300 to 400 g of coffee. Thanks to the movable flap, the container can be removed without emptying the contents.

On the front of the grinders you will find a simple control panel with an LED backlit display.

The Baratza Sette 270 and 270W grinders function and look almost identical, but there is one big difference:

TheSette 270 grinder has three programmable buttons where you can store 3 different times for different amounts of coffee, with an accuracy of 0.01 seconds. When you press the button, you will always get the exact dose.

The main advantage of the Sette 270W grinder over the 270 version is the integrated digital scale from Acaia. Three programmable buttons here allow you to set different weights with an accuracy of 0.1 g. Thanks to this convenience, you will no longer find that you have some coffee left over or have to grind more.
