Sette 270

I have a baratza sette 270. I wouldn't exactly recommend it - it is very noisy and the macro and micro settings have drifted since day one.

I assume it’s an Encore ESP you have, in which case yes, it’ll do you fine as you dial-in. If it’s the base Encore, then not so much — it lacks the resolution to adjust grind size appropriately for espresso. budget: $200-400 German/italian/western make Oof, this will be tricky. Low end Eurekas can f

Had the Sette 270 for 2,5 years. It's as louad as a jet engine and your neighours will despise you. Get a bit of aluminum butyl insulation material to clad the plastic parts from the inside to dampen things a bit. Also, get a set of shims from Baratza, because the grind dial tends to loosen over tim

Nice! Check out the Baratza website I had the 30 and you can get the upgrade to dial in. Called: Adjustment Assembly for Sette 270 and Sette 270Wi. (I needed the shims too.)

If you liked the Specialita, it’s still a solid choice. But around that price you could also look at the DF64 Gen 2 64 mm flat burrs, low retention or the Baratza Sette 270 which is known for fast grinding and precise espresso adjustments.

Congrats on your Sette 270! I got a used 270 a couple months ago too and had similar questions. I single does my beans and programmed my top button for 10 seconds.

Having just got a Mazzer Philos my ZP6 Special has been demoted to the office day/holiday grinder, previously I was using it at home for filters as my electric grinder was too fiddly to switch between bre methods (Baratza Sette 270). Sometimes i struggle with the ZP6 with the coffee tasting far too

I was one of the first to buy the Sette 270 when it became available. After dealing with some early production issues (which resulted in a quick replacement unit from Baratza) I've never looked back. I've been grinding 4 doses a day for over 6 years. Yes, I added a shim once which is no big deal, an

I’m a huge fan of the baratza Sette 270 wi. So much ability to dial up or down, add the shims and you have a whole additional level of fine. It is however quite loud.

Consider replacing your Sette's grind adjuster with the one from the Sette 270 with micro-adjustments. You can buy it from Baratza for around $100. That will solve your Settie's biggest problem which is its overly large step size.
