Buy Yours today from Amazon:
Review is Above but here is the original posts below:I just got off the phone with our Baratza rep. She was excited to share with our club the newest grinders coming from Baratza. She is sending me a unit for review. I will keep this notice up as a placeholder until the Unit Arrives and we can get a good look at what is coming. I will also have direct communication on any discounts or special product announcements available to our members and we will be sure to pass them along.
It feels really good to be getting the opportunity to talk with the folks that have been helping myself along in the coffee journey, not to mention probably a good number of our members as well. Baratza has always been a great company for customer service.

Thanks Joe!

I hope it's the Sette. I was thinking about giving myself one for Christmas, maybe.
I hope it's a Sette too ;) not just any Sette

Jiu jitsu these days more than surfing unfortunately, but no, that's when the long awaited sample grinder arrives. We have some ideas to get GCBC members some neat Baratza grinders next year.

Not going that extreme. I have to get my gills wet every other week or so. I am over due at the moment. But Fall/winter surfing is not as easy to get motivated.

Would not mind getting another one tho to be honest.

Just got confirmation the grinder should arrive Dec 12th and it is a Sette W. I will review it once I return from Kauai on the 18th.
Very, Very jealous. If I didn't have 10 grinders already, I'd have bought one of these beauties already.

One clarification: You said that there are pre-set settings, but you don't say whether switching between espresso grind and pour-over is repeatable. I've long wished I could replace the three grinders on my counter with one, but no grinder I have found can do espresso well without a lot of micro adjustment after being used for anything coarser. If this one will, I may be able to clear up some counter space!

Pre Settings were for the weight of the grounds i.e. 13 grams, 21 grams etc..
Turning the macro Adjustments is easy enough however it does get tight when switching. and there are micro adjustments should you need to fine tune a grind.
I personally would keep a specific grinder for Drip or other brew methods and a grinder for espresso as dailing in an espresso grind could waste a lot of coffee. However I would use this grinder no problem as my sole grinder. The Mazzer Super Jolly I have was that grinder for me for a long time.

And hmmmm . . . seeing as how I can't find my Fiorenzato T-80 (seriously; I know it's in this house somewhere, but I was away for a year taking care of my dad, and everything's moved around multiple times as housemates came and went), and I'm getting tired of cranking the Handground every morning (or using the crappy whirly Bosch, or Sunbeam, or Mr Coffee, or whatever it is; three or four of them around the house in any case) . . . eh, no.
Orphan Espresso was talking about a wall-mounted hand grinder. I would jump on a decent one in a hot second.

I have my eye on the Sette W and have been putting away a little each month for one.
All most there

Some questions.
What is the retail on this going to be?
Are they offering any discount to GCBC members?
Possibility of a group buy here? I could do something with that possibly.
Also, I love how fast it is. Instead of me blowing 600 bucks for a bunn grinder for customers, I may use this for my commercial grinding when needed. It would be only a pound or so at a time, not humping 15 lb loads through it. Do you think it would stand to that fairly well or is it really just a 'home' coffee grinder?
Thanks
Aaron

3. Possibility of a group buy here? I could do something with that possibly.

1. The retail on the W model with the built in scale is $499, non W model is like $375
2. Not at the moment but I am discussing this with their people to see if we can't pass along any savings or possibly get creative on an introductory package with their lower tiered grinders.
3. I am also exploring this possibility. However they pulled their grinders from retailers such as Costco in which they told me that they want their pricing standardized. However Baratza really likes our club so we might have a game plan coming.
4. It's actually around a half lb at a time with the hopper it has in place. I don't think it's designed for a commercial setting and so I do think it would be best in a home environment. However for a home grinder it's more than adequate. I think the issues would be that it might not handle large amounts of coffee run through it without pausing, and Baratza Customer service is legendary but I think they wouldn't like their home grinder being used in that fashion.
to be honest with you a used shopping center grinder like the ditting ones is a better choice for that duty. It would be a waste on the Baratza Sette 270 W and you can grab those for around $300 used on craigslist/ebay

Yeah it's really nice I think you'll be happy.

Does anyone have experience with the non-W version? The $379 price seems like a nice price point.

Fyi i am still shocked no one is pointing out the John Foster method for the PVL. This was something i coined so feel free to use its reference wherever you want.
