Overview
The Baratza Sette 270Wi adds an integrated Acaia scale to the Sette 270 platform, enabling true grind-by-weight dosing. Instead of timed dosing, the grinder weighs the output in real time and stops when the target weight is reached. This eliminates dose variability caused by bean density changes and ambient conditions, producing the most consistent doses possible. The grind-by-weight feature was revolutionary for home grinders when introduced and remains rare at this price point. Combined with the Sette innovative low-retention design, the 270Wi delivers a workflow that approaches the consistency of commercial grind-by-weight systems at a fraction of the cost.
The Baratza Sette 270Wi features a 40mm conical burr set, crafted from steel. The burrs spin at 550 RPM, balancing grinding speed with heat management. Grind retention is approximately 0.3g — virtually zero retention, making it excellent for single dosing.
At $549, the Baratza Sette 270Wi is aimed at serious home baristas who understand the importance of grind quality. Key workflow features include single-dose design (no hopper needed). The conical burr design is known for producing a slightly bimodal grind distribution, which many enjoy for its body and complexity in espresso.
The Baratza Sette 270Wi is weighing 3.5 kg, manufactured in USA, powered by a 260W motor. Its footprint measures 130 x 240 x 380 mm (W×D×H).
