Baratza Sette 30 AP Coffee Grinder
The Baratza Sette 30 AP is a compact coffee grinder to get started on an espresso journey, suitable for basic and advanced espresso machines. The Sette 30 AP has a macro only adjustment for grind size, offering 31 steps of adjustment. Burrs This grinder incorporates the AP burr, designed for the high end Sette 270/270W grinders, which produces an exceptional espresso grind. It can also be used for grinding for manual brewing methods that require a finer grind (for example, AeroPress and Hario V60) for a very balanced flavor experience. Grind and operation Designed and perfected in Liechtenstein over a period of 8 years, this technology sets a new standard in simplicity, efficiency, and durability. This new mechanism has the outer burr rotate and the inner burr is fixed, a truly revolutionary design. The design of this mechanism doubles the efficiency of similarly sized grinders. Coffee passes straight through the grinder, vertically, and drops directly into the grounds bin or your portafilter.

Had the entry level grinder for 15 years, horrific retention, deafening when grinding and 50 full turns of a knob to go from espresso to aeropress/mokka pot.This 30AP is so superior in many respects, particularly with the time based volume grind.Dialing in when changing beans is so much easier.Totally happy with it, also a shout out to the Team at Alternative - thanks, well done.

Works a treat and dosing has been consistent. Grind is easily fine enough for my usual espresso and the single time has been more useful than expected, as someone with difficulty in executive functioning. Absolutely recommended for anyone looking to get started with non pressurised espresso brewing or as a change from a hand grinder for those in a hurry.

Cannot fault this grinder at all! Almost zero retention and consistent coffee grounds every time. It is slightly noisy, but the speed makes up for it. Easy clean up and love how easily you can change over your coffee beans in the hopper. Highly recommend this!!

When I pay this kind of money for a coffee grinder, I expect quality all the way. The metal body of the machine is sturdy and there is no mess when grinding HOWEVER, the plastic hopper is so flimsy that when you try to slide the hopper into place it is very difficult to lock it in without feeling like you are going to break the plastic feet off it or crack some other part of it. Indeed one of the plastic feet did break off our hopper when we assembled it. I am afraid to remove it now because it means I'll have to reassemble it again. For this price, I expect parts that glide and lock into place with ease and for the hopper to be made of much sturdier plastic. The instructions for the espresso grind setting were also incorrect. There was no warranty provided with the ... MoreWhen I pay this kind of money for a coffee grinder, I expect quality all the way.

I purchased the Baratza Sette AP 30 to improve my Expresso shots coming from the inbuilt Breville barista grinder. What a difference.The AP 30 grind size adjustment is adequate for my needs. It all depends on the beans.Easy to dial in and set and forget .Would definitely recommend if you are looking to improve your shots and make amazing Expresso martinis
I have been happy with my product until 2 years in. My brother has the sette 270 and mine has always been a lot louder despite having the same insides. Two years in my grinder gearbox has broken down and it now produces a horrible grinding noise. After some research I found out this isn’t a one off issue and occurs quite often. Baratza support just referred me to their website for international part suppliers as they are based in the USA. Going to cost me just under a $100 to get the gearbox part that I’ll have to replace myself. The gearbox is known not to last and I don’t think I would recommend this grinder.
For the money, it's been a good grinder so far. You must bear in mind that in the market which is still on the cheaper end of the sacale and this is evident in some aspect of its build.The first thing to note is that the printed grind settings on the collar don't always match up with the indicator on the rotating ring - it will sit in between on some settings. Is the grind setting on 17 or 16? You have to guess.Another issue I find a bit annoying is that when operating the lid on the hopper will pop off from the vibration of the machine.These don't affect the overall operation, but this is why I don't give it five stars. Five stars should be perfect, not pretty good.
I did a lot of research before I bought this to pair with my Rancilio Silvia (which I have used pretty much everyday since I bought it in 2017 with only regular maintenance).The Baratza Sette was a relatively new and exciting product when I bought it in 2020 and I was super excited when I first got it.Positives include- grinds quickly. Has a decent sized hopper, timer function works great, easy to dial in your espresso shots, grinds fine and course. No retention through grind design! Easy to take apart and clean etc. Overall a great design.Negatives- THIS GRINDER IS VERY LOUD! I've used plenty of grinders (home/commercial use) and this is by far the most abrasive sounding grinder right out of the box.In my experience (and plenty others online) it only gets ... MoreI did a lot of research before I bought this to pair with my Rancilio Silvia (which I have used pretty much everyday since I bought it in 2017 with only regular maintenance).The Baratza Sette was a relatively new and exciting product when I bought it in 2020 and I was super excited when I first got it.Positives include- grinds quickly.

I've used plenty of grinders (home/commercial use) and this is by far the most abrasive sounding grinder right out of the box.In my experience (and plenty others online) it only gets louder the longer you use it. Its not just that its loud, it is the frequency and vibration of the noise that is super abrasive early in the morning before you've even had any coffee! Not enjoyable at all for anyone in earshot.Simple google search reveal that the increasing noise is now a know issue with the Sette motor and gearbox assembly :( - Yes impacts all models.Unfortunately for my long suffering housemates and neighbours mine is still working, some give out a fatal bang and then stop grinding all together- see youtube.Now outside of the 12 month warranty you are looking at $220 AUD for a new motor (220V) and gearbox assembly which is apparently very easy to replace yourself... just as Baratza!However I am going to look at a quality product that actually performs the designed function for longer than the warranty period without waking the neighbours and keeps GARBAGE OUT OF LANDFILL.
Several weeks in to using this, for Aeropress (grind setting 20-21) and Espresso (setting 14-15 - too coarse perhaps, but my tired machine won't push water through a finer grind), using 'espresso roasted' beans. It's pretty consistent for one-shot grinding, about 5S on the timer for 16g (Aero) and 14g (Espresso). Seems to provide a very consistent grind for a predictable brew. Happy with my purchase - now need to upgrade the Espresso machine, I think!
Bought a Baratza Sette 30 grinder early December from the good people at Alternative Brewing. Excellent quality machine. I've seen plenty of comments regarding the noise level but I don't find it too loud, plus very quick grind and next to no coffee retention and no coffee powder splatter. Order #395082
