Baratza Sette 270Wi Espresso Grinder

Baratza grinders are our favorite home brewing grinders because of their versatility, durability, and consistency in coffee grinding. At their price points, we are hard-pressed to find any burr grinders on the market that matches Baratza's quality and ability to deliver consistently ground beans cup-to-cup. Plus they look ProAF and beautiful on the kitchen countertop.  PLEASE NOTE: Discount codes can not be used with Baratza Grinder purchases. 

The Baratza Sette 270Wi introduces two revolutionary design innovations to espresso grinders and enables incredible functionality for home users.

This machine is the first – and currently, the only – espresso grinder offering grind-by-weight functionality directly into a portafilter. Precise, accurate dosing to within a few grams (2- 3 beans!) directly into your portafilter makes quality, consistent espresso a breeze. The mouthfeel and flavor clarity of espresso pulled on the Sette 270Wi out-classes other home espresso grinders. The multitude of features offered by the Sette 270Wi makes dialing in espresso simple and hassle-free. Thirty steps of macro-adjustment and a fully step-less micro-adjustment system gives the user a near-infinite number of grind settings to allow for the best, most precise dial-in on any Baratza grinder. This allows room for even the most attentive taster to explore delicate layers of sweetness, acidity, and body for all types of espresso from classic Italian dark roasts to progressive light roasts. The Sette 270Wi excels at fine grinding up to and including small, single-cup pour-overs.

The Sette 270Wi features our radically redesigned gearbox and burr set in which the outer ring burr rotates around a stationary cone burr. This design allows for high-speed grinding – up to 5g per second – as well as minimal retention of coffee in the system. Most burr grinders utilize a small pathway through which ground coffee passes. On the Sette 270Wi, coffee simply falls from the burrs down into your portafilter. The machine is equipped with a digital scale utilizing Acaia technology that holds three adjustable and precise presets. This allows you to save three different dose weights for a variety of uses.

Features

270Wi - The “i” in 270Wi stands for intelligence - the grinder now quickly calculates and predicts the stop point when you change your grind setting, beans, or dose weight. This eliminates the need to adjust the offset. The new 270Wi maximizes its built-in Acaia high precision scale by filtering unpredicted vibrations that could affect dosing accuracy, such as door closures, footsteps, unsteady surfaces. A “quick burst” feature allows you to add small increments of coffee to your final dose after the grinder has stopped. In the event of a software update, it can be installed wirelessly via the integrated Bluetooth using an Apple phone or tablet.

GRINDING MECHANISM - The Sette Series has, at its core, a revolutionary grinding mechanism that produces game-changing performance. Key aspects of this innovative mechanism include:

• Straight-thru vertical grinding of the beans (highly efficient and results in minimal residual coffee in the system).
• Rotation of the outer ring burr (with twice the surface area of the cone burr) along with proprietary tooth geometry, produces grinding thru-put that is two to three times that of others in its class.
• Proprietary gear box (planetary + crown gear) that maximizes the efficiency of torque transfer, resulting in lower power consumption and much less heat.
• Powerful DC motor for maximum starting torque and efficiency, resulting in cooler operation.

BURRS & BREWING METHODS - Manufactured by Etzinger in Liechtenstein, the Sette 270Wi is built with 40mm conical AP (all-purpose burrs, which produce weight-based espresso grind, as well as grinding for manual brewing requiring a finer grind range (e.g.weight-based Aeropress and Hario V60. They burrs grind coffee at 3.5g to 5.5 g/sec. depending on the roast and the setting. The burrs are durable and will remain sharp for many years. The clever design of the Sette Series burr assembly offers you, the user, the ability to exchange the cone burr in less than a minute with no tools and no recalibration.

CONVERTIBLE DEVICE HOLDER & GROUNDS BIN - A built-in convertible holder, unique to the Sette Series, allows you to grind directly into your portafilter, the supplied grounds bin, or most of the popular brewing devices (V60, Clever, Kalita, etc.. The rubber sleeves on the arms are fully rotational allowing you the option to position them in a way that best suits the tool/brew method you are using. The arms can accommodate portafilters from sizes 49mm to 58mm and the holder includes an integrated hook for stability. The Sette 270Wi’s grounds bin is made from an anti-static plastic, with a molded spout for easy pouring into your preferred brewing device. It has a usable capacity of 160g (Med Roast).

ACAIA - (WEIGHT BASED DOSING) - This grinder was designed with a built-in scale using the weighing technology of Acaia, giving precise and accurate weight-based dosing, and a 10th of a gram sensitivity. The 270Wi has the revolutionary ability to grind by weight directly into a portafilter - a breakthrough in grinding technology! This unique grinder design responds to the Specialty Coffee user trend of using specific weight-based recipes for coffee preparation.

HOPPER - The hopper holds approximately 300-400g of coffee. An innovative bean shutoff feature in the collar permits no-mess, no-fuss hopper removal for changing out beans.

DIGITAL CONTROL PANEL - A user-friendly front-mounted control panel has an easy to read backlit LED display. Three programmable buttons allow for grind weight setting within 0.1 grams. Simply press the start button and the Sette 270Wi automatically delivers precise dosing.

GRINDING ADJUSTMENT - The Sette 270Wi has a macro adjust of 30 steps, grinding from espresso to manual brew. A step-less micro adjust with 9 indicators, allows the user to easily dial in a perfect espresso. The macro/micro mechanism is directly connected to the cone burr resulting in immediate and true grind adjustment. CLEANING - The cone burr is easily removable with no tools, making cleaning very easy. MINIMAL RETENTION - To maximize freshness, the Sette 270Wi minimizes the ground coffee left in the grinder. MOTOR - A powerful, high torque DC motor drives the Sette 270Wi. The circuitry is equipped with an automatically resetting, thermal cutoff switch.
