Grind by weight, straight into the portafilter
The 270Wi weighs the dose as it grinds, using Acaia load-cell technology built into the device arms, and stops at the gram you asked for, to a tenth of a gram. The i in the name is the software that learns the stop point, so you set a preset and forget the offset.
The backlit panel counts up in grams as it grinds; a 500 g weight from Acaia lets you calibrate the load cell at home.Watch the Sette 270Wi work

Straight down, straight out, with 270 ways to set it
The Sette's 40 mm conical burrs are made in Liechtenstein and the adjustment ring is fixed directly to the cone burr, so beans fall straight through and out of the chute with almost nothing left behind. Thirty-one macro steps and a stepless micro ring give the grinder its name.
- 31 macro steps, from espresso to medium-coarse for manual brewing
- Stepless micro adjustment with nine indicators, A to I, for dialling in espresso
- Adjustment acts immediately because it is connected directly to the cone burr
- Baratza's starting points: 9E for espresso, 20E for drip
- 2.9 to 4.0 g per second at the espresso end, 3.5 to 5.5 g per second across the range
- Convertible arms take a portafilter, the anti-static grounds bin or a manual brewer
- Cone burr and adjustment assembly lift out as one unit, no tools, for cleaning
- Bluetooth for over-the-air software updates through the Acaia Sette Updater app
Cafe-speed motor, home-grinder duty cycle
A 240 W DC motor drives the burrs at 650 rpm, which is why an 18 g dose takes about six seconds and why Baratza asks for a minute's rest between them. Treat it like a one-group cafe machine and it will treat you well.

The official Sette 270Wi, backed here in the UAE
A grey-import grinder looks identical in a listing. It stops looking identical the day the load cell or burr assembly needs attention. Every Baratza we sell comes through BRG, the brand's authorised UAE distributor, with a 1-year warranty and genuine parts.

Complete the setup
Chosen for the Sette 270Wi specifically. A grinder that weighs the dose deserves a machine that can use it, a funnel to keep a fast dose tidy, and a scale for the other end of the recipe.
A dual boiler with a flow-control paddle and a 58 mm portafilter that sits level on the 270Wi's arms. Weighed dose in, profiled shot out.
The Sette grinds fast; a funnel on the 58 mm basket keeps an 18 g dose in the puck, not on the tray.
The grinder weighs the dose; the Lunar weighs the shot. Same Acaia load-cell technology on both ends of the recipe.
The genuine Baratza stiff brush for the burr clean the manual asks for every few months.
