Overview
The Baratza Sette 30 is the entry-level model in the Sette lineup, featuring the same innovative spinning outer burr design but with only 30 macro adjustment steps instead of the 270 steps available on its more expensive siblings. While this limits fine-tuning ability compared to the 270, it still offers enough granularity for good espresso dialing. The low retention and fast grind speed are identical to the rest of the Sette family. The Sette 30 is a compelling budget option for espresso beginners who want the benefits of the Sette platform without the full price. Baratza also sells upgrade kits that convert a Sette 30 into a 270, providing a future upgrade path.
The Baratza Sette 30 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 $269, the Baratza Sette 30 is aimed at home baristas seeking a solid grinder without a premium price tag. 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 30 is weighing 3.2 kg, manufactured in USA, powered by a 260W motor. Its footprint measures 130 x 240 x 380 mm (W×D×H).
