Silvia M Espresso Machine

What is it?

The Baratza Sette 270 is a dedicated home espresso grinder with 40mm conical steel burrs. It uses a digital timed dosing system and a combination stepped and stepless grind adjustment system.

Who is it for?

For the home barista who wants a grinder designed for a home barista. Something that fits your space and your budget without sacrificing where it counts: quality, ease of use, and reliability. You want the ability to get repeatable shots from your favorite blend and then mix it up by single dosing a few different single origin coffees in a row, all with minimal waste and delicious shots of espresso.

Why do we carry it?

The Sette 270 is the best single dosing espresso grinder we’ve ever used, full stop. It’s also the easiest to clean. It’s designed for home baristas first, not adapted from a commercial design, which is why it has so many features we treasure. It works perfectly well with a full hopper, providing consistent doses using its timed dose system, but it truly shines when used for single dosing. Over a one month period, we used the Sette 270 to single dose with 11 different coffees without ever touching the adjustment dials, and got perfect shots with every single one. It’s this absurd consistency and ease of use that led us to have four in our classroom space for our Home Barista Classes. Whatever your home espresso needs may be, the Sette 270 will help you pull consistent and brilliant espresso shots that are as good in a cappuccino as they are straight.

What is it?

The Baratza Vario is an all-purpose home coffee grinder with 54mm flat ceramic burrs. It has a digital timed dosing system, dual stepped adjustment, and a hands-free portafilter holder as well as a grounds bin.

Who is it for?

For the home coffee enthusiast who will never be satisfied with just one brewing method. You switch back and forth between espresso and drip coffee, mixing in a few other brew methods to keep things interesting. You need one grinder that can keep up with your wildly varying demands without skipping a beat, and while providing deliciously consistent results across the spectrum. No, you’re not asking too much.

Why do we carry it?

Before the Vario, a grinder that was truly adept at all-purpose coffee grinding, switching between espresso, drip coffee, and french press with ease, just didn’t exist. At all. Baratza’s unique perspective, being a coffee grinder company that almost exclusively caters to the home market, made that void glaringly obvious. Years after its release the Vario still dominates this category. Even if you were to grade the Vario solely on its merits as an espresso grinder, it would get high marks. Great consistency, easy to clean, low retention, and its ceramic burrs reducing mitigating heat. But it ranks just as high as a coffee grinder for any other purpose. The real question here is: how could we not carry it?
