With a front-mounted LED display, three programmable dosing buttons, and 30+9 grind settings, the Sette 270 offers unmatched control, speed, and convenience for every coffee enthusiast.
Why Choose a Conical Burr Coffee Grinder?
Conical burr grinders are prized for their ability to produce consistent particle sizes, which is critical for balanced extraction. Unlike blade grinders that chop beans unevenly, conical burrs crush beans between two abrasive surfaces, minimizing fines and preserving flavor. The Baratza Sette 270 takes this technology further with rapid grind speeds and precision adjustments, giving you barista-grade results at home.
