When I unpacked and put the grinder together, and threw some beans in to grind - it wasn't grinding them - at all - not even on the coarsest setting.

My advice is to buy cheap coffee beans to mess around with the grind settings

I should be able to smear the beans and see almost a film at a really fine grind, but i can't with this grinder- there is still a pretty fair amount of grit at the finest setting, not a fluffy powder like it should

I usually grind beans for espresso or cold brew and have enjoyed the flexibility of the range of grind sizes on the 270

I had to go through and recalibrate my grind for my favorite bean all over again

Same beans present no problem to the Sette

Just grind three or four beans and make sure the unit actually grinds them

So dumping the weighed beans directly into the empty hopper gives me an accurate shot of espresso

if you grind beans

Then I grind for 5.5 seconds (which is actually longer than it takes to grind the beans, but I want to suck all the beans through the grinder).4

Most people speak of the loudness of the grinder, but it’s a grinder that is grinding beans

I only drink Latte's using Organic 9% fat milk and the taste in cup is sooo much better than what my Breville Smart Grinder could ever dream of doing.. all the wonderful complex flavors I smelled when freshly grinding the beans can now be tasted in the cup!

I dumped the beans back into their canister, and then took a few, put them in the hopper, and using a flashlight, watched the grinding process...

the fact that it does not have you lose much as there is very little retention in the shoot (one of the main reasons I opted on this model) C) doesn't take up a lot of real estate on the counter D) ease of cleaning
