Baratza Sette 30

Equipment notes

The Sette 30 is the entry-level espresso electric grinder in Baratza's Sette line. Baratza is a US grinder specialist founded in 1999 and acquired by Breville Group in 2020, and the Sette 30 drops the weighing scale and programmable dosing of the higher 270 series to focus on time-based operation at a more accessible level. The burrset is the same steel conical, straight-through design as the higher models. The outer ring burr rotates while the inner cone stays fixed, so grounds fall vertically with low retention and fast grinding. The body-forward conical particle is set in steps, and the burrset itself is tuned for the fine, uniform grind of espresso, making it stronger on the espresso side than on filter. It suits entry users who want a fast, low-retention espresso grinder at a sensible price without complex weighing features.
