Baratza Sette 270Wi vs Baratza Sette 30

If you can help get her close to dialed in for the beans she likes then it’s just one button on the grinder to dose, tamp, then one button on the breville.

Why only 3/5 Stars? DISCLAIMER: I cheaped out and bought a Bambino which is directly affecting my review of this product. Ease of use 4 I didn't like the cheap feel of the open close lever, and I kinda wish I could measure and pour the grounds with better integration. Its fairly noisy although I know there are worse products out there. You do get consistency out of the beans which is a HUGE plus and this design allows you to waste less coffee than most if not all of the competition

Great machine thus far. Only complaint is how loud it runs. If I could slow it down to reduce the noise I gladly would.

(Which I have done, successfully). The bad: - noisy - static. But that depends a _lot_ on which coffee beans you use. For some, the grinds just float up with static

Grind size distribution- well there are more fines than I was expecting compared to my old cheapo burr grinder, but i don't believe it's a high percentage by weight. A few larger flat shaped grinds get through, but again I think it's not a significant percentage. When the chemex drawdown is done, the grinds at the top of the bed seem very uniform. Again, I don't have much to compare to

No doubt. But the problem is grind size. I use a V60. I like a V60 and I really don’t want to change

As before, the operation is (very!) loud and the grind is right on. I've changed the rating to 4-stars because of the failure after 4 months; that failure is balanced by the excellent support. At this point I feel the design concept is just too good for 3 stars, but the failure rate isn't at all impressive and can't be ignored. Update #5 (2 Apr 2019): The replacement 270Wi is still running exactly as it should

The one used only for light roast lasted much longer. I really like this grinder when it's working, and will probably just keep buying new ones since there is no competition at this price point. I wish Baratza could make this a more reliable unit. The whole design and circuitry needs to be beefed up

You have to use the plastic cup they ship you. Don't turn it on with the plastic cup or it can get confused and stop half way. The coffee adjustment is nice, but I have to put tape on it or the grind wanders on the fine adjustment. It's not quite setting your money on fire, but it is not a buy once grinder

For a few dollars more, these gearboxes could have been made of much more resilient materials. I refuse to continue to support this company and recommend that you consider whether you want to waste your money.
