The grind consistency is the most considerable matter, but who would like an ugly grinder? Thankfully, the Baratza Sette 30 comes with a beautiful design. Its name Sette means seven in Italian words, so all the Baratza Sette series models have the ‘7’ shapes. If you enjoy making espresso at home, there’s one thing you’ll be acutely aware of – a decent coffee grinder is one of the most important pieces of equipment you can invest in for a consistent and beautiful beverage. All models in the Sette-line are calibrated to grind rather fine, and as such, don’t do well when it comes to methods like the French press or drip. You’re mainly into drip coffee — A dedicated espresso grinder is always more expensive, so if you’re only brewing by manual methods, you can get an excellent grinder for a lot less. The OXO Brew conical burr grinder is one such affordable option, and it produces a grind quality suitable for pour-over, French press, and even cold brew with remarkable consistency.

Like the Sette 30, the Breville Dose Control Pro has a removable bean hopper that has a mechanism to keep the beans from spilling out, and it’s digital timer (controlled by a dial knob) has a pause function if you want to remove your portafilter halfway through a grind to settle the coffee in the basket.

But there are many such things in common that don’t need much explanation; that’s why we have covered this in the table below. Details The machine comes with 31 steps grind settings for fine to coarse grounds. But, Micro settings aren’t available with it like its older brother Baratza Sette 270. The grind setting is adjusted by two rings that sit just under the burrs. The top one is numbered 1-30 for macro settings, and the bottom one is labelled with the letters A-I for micro settings.

There are many similarities between the 30, 270, and 270wi. Across the Sette series, the dimensions are the same. Measuring 13 x 40 x 24 centimeters and weighing seven pounds, the Sette will easily fit on your kitchen counter. On the side of the panel are three buttons for programming your favourite grind times. This handy feature on an all-purpose home burr grinder such as the Sette 270. You could save different timings for espresso, AeroPress, and batch pour-over brewing.In this section, you will come across an in-depth comparison of these two grinders and we have divided it into three sections for better understanding. Grind Settings As a side note, I hope down the road Baratza considers doing this kind of modification to a Sette 30 style grinder: having a dedicated espresso grinder where all 30+ settings fall within the Turkish to fine moka pot grinding range would be quite nifty. It has a built-in Acaia Scale, which automatically decides the instructed weight and it actually works pretty handsomely. On the side of most coffee grinders is a chute. However, the Sette’s “7” shape means that the grounds can fall straight from the burrs to the portafilter or grounds bin, preventing retention.
