Baratza Sette 270Wi Espresso Grinder

Really enjoying this grinder. It does indeed sound louder than my other grinders, I measured it as approx. 86db. The grind time is pretty quick though, typically less than 7 seconds for 20g basket. Very happy with this grinder, it's my second Baratza.

I had to install one shim (provided with purchase) for it to grind fine enough for espresso. The grind to weight option makes it extremely user friendly. I don't single dose, so having a hopper with an easy push button (you can switch between 3 presets) is perfect. As mentioned in other reviews, it's a little loud (difficult to hold a conversation while grinding), but it grinds very quickly and shuts off. For the price point, it's an extremely good value!

The noise of success

It took a bit longer for me to set it up as I did not precisely follow the guidance. The grinder does not produce clumps and the grounds are very consistent and fluffy. They fall into the portafilter just perfectly with very little mess. The scales have been great. Overall a great grinder. Worth it. Yes, it's a bit noisy.
