Baratza | Sette™ 270

Baratza Sette 270 — Low-Retention Espresso Grinder with 270 Grind Settings

The Baratza Sette 270 takes everything the Sette is known for — near-zero retention, fast direct grinding, no coffee left hiding in chutes — and adds the fine-grained control serious espresso drinkers actually need. 270 grind settings, split into 30 macro steps and a stepless micro ring between them, let you dial in a new coffee to within a hair of where you want it, then stay there.

Hands-free timed dosing, programmable presets, straight into the portafilter. The middle of the Sette line and the one most home baristas end up owning.

270 grind settings — macro and stepless micro

Thirty macro clicks across the espresso range, with a stepless micro ring layered on top for fine adjustment within each click. Ten positions per step, 270 settings in total. That's the difference between "close enough" and actually hitting the shot — particularly useful when you're switching between roasts or chasing a new coffee's sweet spot.

Near-zero retention

The Sette's defining feature carries across the whole range. The outer burr rotates, the inner burr stays fixed, and grounds drop straight down into the portafilter rather than getting trapped. For single-dosing — weigh in, grind out, clean every time — this is the workflow the Sette was designed for. What goes in is what comes out.

Hands-free timed dosing with three presets

Three programmable dose timers let you save single, double, and a third preset — long shot, filter dose, decaf, whatever you need. Hit the button and the Sette 270 doses straight into the portafilter while you get on with pulling the shot.

40mm conical steel burrs

Conical steel burrs tuned for espresso, fast enough to grind a double in seconds without generating enough heat to affect the shot at normal dose sizes. The same proven burr set used across the Sette line.

The Sette to buy for most espresso setups

If you're after a low-retention espresso grinder with proper grind granularity and don't need weight-based dose control, the 270 is the right pick. If you want the grinder to stop automatically at a target weight rather than a target time, the Sette 270Wi adds that — worth knowing before you decide.
