It is able to grind for any brew method including espresso making this the grinder we'd recommend for home espresso enthusiasts. A fellow coffee enthusiast asked: “Hey Arne, I already have a scale like that — even one from Acaia! The results are much better brew clarity and better extractions than you'd likely achieve from many other grinders.

The burr assembly comes apart mostly by hand and only requires a hex key (provided) to separate the upper and lower burr.

The "i" in 270W i stands for intelligence - the grinder now quickly calculates and predicts the stop point when you change your grind setting, beans, or dose weight. You might be thinking that you also want a neat Quick Burst feature, which allows for minute doses to top off your portafilter without committing to an entire grind cycle, and a Bluetooth connection for software updates from your Apple phone or tablet.

Now my other grinders — for espresso — have to sit on the bench because the 270Wi is the new shining star. With stepped macro and non-stepped micro-adjustments, you can get really specific dialing in your perfect grind. Sette's sister model 270Wi has a built in scale, and the programming is done by specifying the desired amount by weight with a 0,1 gram precision. After all, single dose grinders like the Eureka Mignon Zero are also excellent and don’t cost as much. The heat-producing motor is further away from the sensitive coffee beans, so there’s less risk of damage to their complex aroma.My only criticism would be that although the grinds are generally uniform and definitely fine enough for espresso, the distribution needs some work to get consistent shots without channeling. This coffee grinder was desined and manufactured to work even more efficiently when compared to similar size coffee grinders. The portaholder can accommodate any size of portafilter and includes an integrated hook for stability.
