Sette 270

I love that you committed to the video all the way until it started squirting on the lens, absolute cinema. I have been on your journey -- I tried so hard to save money on espresso grinding. I started with a KitchenAid grinder that was a super thoughtful gift from my mom and a cheap Hario hand grind

Sette 270 purchased in 2018 still going strong here! Moved to single dosing recently and have both the Baratza hopper and an Aliexpress bellows unit to try out.

My trusty Baratza Sette 270 may be loud af, but 5 years of heavy daily use and has yet needed any parts replaced or any cleaning beyond blue bean pills once a month.

There's no better solution than just just having 2 different grinders for true convenience, if you have the space and budget. I also came here to say, I used to have a Sette 270 a few years ago for a while, and god did I hate that thing. It was so LOUD it would wake up the entire house. And then whe

I don't know about starter grinders, sorry. I can just confidently advise to stay clear of Baratza Sette 270. I had two of these and both failed due to internal PLASTIC gearbox failing, within a year of buying. It is made to fail. After that I bought Ceado E37S and I am very happy with it, but the p

My daughter has the sette 270 paired with a Rocket Apartmento. The 270 does its job well, but super loud, with a plastic gearbox that will go out eventually. I’d say she makes 1 or 2 espresso per day and hers died around 3 years. .To be fair, baratza technical support was great, they sent a new gear

As a peasant, I am content with my Baratza Sette 270 for the past 5 years…

The Sette 270 is an excellent piece of gear. I’ve loved mine since 2019 (and use it 2-4 times a day) and finally this April the gearbox gears had finally stripped. I sent Baratza customer support a video, they put me in touch with a real human, and they sent me a replacement gearbox for free. They s

That said, getting good espresso out of something very basic, like a Barista Express, is tricky and does require some skill. I would recommend the following:1 - a separate milk frother for about $80.2 - Any good basic machine that can pull consistent shots. Almost anything in the $500 range will do.
