Machine Overview

Grinder 1, the Baratza Sette 270, is priced at $399 and is geared towards intermediate users, while Grinder 2, the Eureka Mignon Zero, has a higher price of $499, also targeting intermediate skill levels. Both grinders fall into the semi-automatic category.

Brewing Comparison

In terms of grinding method and characteristics, the Baratza Sette 270 utilizes conical burrs with a 40mm diameter, offering both stepped and stepless adjustments for a precise grind. It operates on a timed dosing method, with a hopper designed for easy use, while the Eureka Mignon Zero features flat burrs with a larger 55mm diameter and stepless adjustment, permitting very fine control, albeit with a single dose hopper. The Baratza Sette 270 has a lower retention rate of less than 0.1g compared to the Mignon Zero's retention of less than 0.5g, with the former also offering a manual on/off secondary dosing option.

Features Comparison

Key features include that the Baratza Sette 270 does not have adjustable RPM settings, while the Eureka Mignon Zero has a fixed high RPM of 1650, contributing to a grind range suitable for everything from pour-over to espresso. The grind range for the Baratza is specifically tailored for espresso, while the Mignon Zero's versatility allows for a broader range. Additionally, the Sette 270 has swappable burrs, enhancing its maintenance and customization potential, whereas the Mignon Zero does not support this feature.
