Baratza Sette 30 Coffee Grinder with AP Burrs
The Baratza Sette 30 is a budget-friendly, entry-level espresso, suitable for basic and advanced espresso machines. Perfected in Liechtenstein over a period of 8 years, the technology used in Baratza's Sette line sets a new standard in simplicity, efficiency, and durability. Baratza's revolutionary design has the outer burr rotate and the inner burr is fixed. The design of this mechanism doubles the efficiency of similarly sized grinders. Coffee passes straight through the grinder and drops directly into the grounds bin or your portafilter.
The Baratza Sette 30 offers 31 macro steps of adjustment. Using AP burrs, the same design for the Sette 270/270W grinders, the Sette 30 produces an exceptional espresso grind. It also works well while grinding for manual brewing methods that require a finer grind (i.e. AeroPress and Hario V60). (Please note, this release is a shift in Baratza's approach from their initial offering of the Sette 30 as a brew grinder-details here) The Sette 30 has a stationary device holder that allows you to remove and re-orient the arms to grind directly into the supplied grounds bin or a portafilter.

Espresso Coffee Grinder Warnings:
- Changing grind settings: It is very important to only change grind settings when the unit is powered on and the burrs are in motion. If you do not do this, the burrs will ‘gunk’ up and render the grinder to only produce very coarse grinds or no grinds at all. To remedy this, you will have to open up the grinder to get access to the grinding burrs. This issue will be considered operator error for lack of following directions, and not be classified as a defective grinder.
- Electrical cord: For most grinders, the cord is placed between the packaging (foam or cardboard) and the underside body of the grinder. During shipping, it is normal for a bend or insignificant blemish/slice to damage the cord.
- Finding coffee grinds in a new grinder: Most manufacturers test their grinders with coffee beans before they leave their facility. Unfortunately, they are not always able to get every trace of coffee out of the grinders after testing. As a result, you may find coffee beans or grinds inside your grinder, or there may be grinds in the packaging.
- Static issues: There are static issues with all grinders, even the highest-quality models. We firmly believe that the static comes from the coffee beans. If you are having static problems with your coffee grinder, try using a different blend of beans.
- Electrical: To avoid electrical damage (which is not considered a manufacturer’s defect), please acquire and install a single-outlet surge suppressor rated at 1080 joules or higher. A surge without protection can damage a grinder at the power switch, the capacitor, the motor, or the wiring.
- Burr cleaning: For routine maintenance of the grinding burrs, we recommend using grinder cleaning agents. We do not recommend any removal of the burrs or the burr carrier for cleaning (unless necessary) as re-assembly can cause damage.
- Replacing burrs: NEVER use a flathead screwdriver and hammer to wedge under the burrs for removal. This could badly damage your grinder.
