Evaluation on the use of Baratza bean grinder Sette 270W

Speaking of bean grinders, Baratza's influence in the coffee field is beyond doubt. After Forte, Vario, Encore and Virtuoso, Baratza launched the Baratza sette series, which is known as a revolutionary new bean grinder, in 2016, which attracted the enthusiastic attention of fans and coffee professionals.

After 8 years of design and improvement, Sette is finally available in two models: Baratza Sette 270 and Baratza Sette 270W, which won the "SCAA Product of the Year Award 2016".

The appearance of the two is almost the same, the main difference is that the former is timing grinding, the latter is quantitative grinding, with weighing function. In the design of the Sette 270W, baratza worked with acaia to embed acaia electronic scales inside it to ensure weighing accuracy. The reason for the name "270" is because the Sette series of bean grinders has a total of 270 adjustable scales covering all grinding degrees except Turkish grinding. In addition, Sette can be applied to a variety of coffee utensils, humanized full score!

The most exciting thing is that Set can be compatible with both Italian and hand grinding requirements, and can be set up to 3 presets. The Set 270 can be preset with 3 different grinding times, while the Set 270W can be preset with 3 different grinding weights. This review is for the Sette 270W.

For Sette 270W this quantitative grinding, Xiaobian thinks it is very user-friendly, preset the amount of powder when good intentions or hand flushing, each time choose a good preset, adjust the corresponding grinding degree to wait for the grinding to be completed. After use, there is no need to weigh coffee beans or coffee powder yourself. Lazy gospel ah. In order to let everyone know more quickly about this "net red bean grinder",

Italian, single-item compatibility with strong inclusiveness

Clear scale adjustment

The outer cutter rotates to allow coffee powder to fall directly into the container to prevent powder flying.

Easy to change the angle of the bracket, adapt to a variety of appliances (ps: adjustment of the upper hook requires the corresponding tool, because the middle screw is a 2mm hexagon screw)

Of course, there are a few warm tips for the use of 270W:

270W must keep the table top and handle stable during use;

The built-in hook and bracket direction, distance can be adjusted;

When the cutter head is removed and reinstalled, push it upward and rotate it again;

Official data show that the maximum grinding error is ±0.2g(normal is 0.1g), which is within the normal range;

According to official recommendations, the 270W is positioned as a semi-commercial grinder, so the weight of coffee beans per day should not exceed 1kg, which will affect the service life of the grinder.

Friends who have already used 270W will find that the grinding of coffee beans will generally be fine, because the Sette series is manufactured according to the American coffee roasting and brewing method. However, you can achieve the grinding thickness you want by changing the number of shims in the cutter head (there is a video QR code at the bottom of the article, and you can watch the operation video by scanning).

In the process of use, the following shortcomings were also found:

Coffee beans are noisy when ground;

Small storage capacity of beans;

When adjusting the grinding scale, the cutter head will be removed due to excessive force.

Because it is a cone cutter head, it produces more fine powder than a flat cutter;

I believe everyone has watched the video and started to "itch". Don't worry. When you are entangled in "270" or "270W", Xiaobian has already helped you make a small summary. You can choose according to your own needs:
