Overview
Bringing the best of Baratza's technical prowess to light, the Sette 270Wi combines high-quality steel Etzinger burrs, a redesigned motor mount and Acaia scale-equipped weighted dosing to create a grinder that is easy to dial-in, easier to clean, and easiest to keep full thanks to its bean-saving setup. Baratza's drop-through burrset lines up hopper and burrs right above your portafilter, eliminating excess buildup of grinds while also improving on grind speed over similar chute-based grinder designs. Improvements abound, as the 270Wi also improves on the accuracy and usability of the scale functionality—and opens it to further software updates over bluetooth.

Pros
- More Accurate: The software improvements baked in with the new control board made our test grinder much more accurate out of the box—no cork or blue-tac needed.
- More Polish: A combination of a slower grind speed, lower tone of sound, and a true pulse button combine to make the 270wi feel much more premium than the original W.
- Still Best In Class: Seriously, the grind quality for espresso on the Sette line is astounding. And, it impresses while being smaller and more affordable than much of its competition.
-
Cons
- Just Espresso: We still only recommend the Sette 270Wi for espresso drinkers.

How Does it Compare?
The Sette 270Wi adds a new control board that changes grind speed (thusly sound), weight accuracy (though it sacrifices the manual offset), and a grind mode Baratza calls 'quick burst' to top off or purge your grinder.
