About the Brand
Baratza — from Arabic and Swahili, suggesting a place where locals gather to drink coffee — has designed and engineered grinders in Seattle since 1999. Founded by Kyle Anderson and Kyra Kennedy, the brand quickly became known for innovation, quality, and consistency in home grinding. Baratza is now one of the most trusted names among home baristas worldwide, valued for durable gearboxes and grinders that just keep working.
The Product
The Baratza Sette 270 Grinder sets the standard for high-performance home espresso grinding, built around the brand's ground-breaking Sette gearbox technology. Timed dosing gives you repeatable shots to the hundredth of a second, while near-zero retention means what you dial in is what actually lands in your cup. This is espresso grinding engineered to remove the variables.
Key Features
Sette Gearbox Technology (Near-Zero Retention)
The gearbox drive minimises coffee left behind in the grinder between doses, so your shot reflects the beans you just ground — not yesterday's leftovers.
30 Macro + 9 Micro Adjustments (Dial-In Precision)
30 responsive macro-adjustment steps combine with 9 marked stepless micro-adjustments, letting you land on the exact grind an espresso shot demands.
Timed Dosing to 0.01 Seconds (Repeatable Shots)
Programmable buttons store up to 3 dose preferences, each accurate to a hundredth of a second, so your shot is the same one you pulled yesterday.
Convertible Device Holder (Grind Into Anything)
A built-in holder lets you grind directly into your portafilter, the supplied grounds bin, or most popular brewing devices like the V60, Clever or Able Kone.
40mm Etzinger Steel Burrs (Wide Grind Range)
The burr set covers a wide breadth of styles, from precise espresso through to manual brewing, without losing consistency at either end.
High-Torque DC Motor (Built for Daily Use)
A powerful DC motor with an automatically resetting thermal cutoff switch drives the Sette through daily espresso sessions without strain.
Front-Mounted LED Control Panel (Easy Operation)
A backlit display and simple programmable buttons make dialling in doses and settings straightforward, even mid-rush.
Who It's Built For
You're chasing repeatable espresso shots and you're tired of a grinder that leaves half your dose behind for the next one. The Sette 270 is for the home barista who wants gearbox-level retention and timed precision without stepping up to a commercial machine. Set your dose once, hit the button, and pull the same shot again and again — no drift, no guesswork.
