Machine Overview

The Baratza Sette 270 is priced at $399 and is suitable for intermediate users, while the Mx. Cool Aries has a significantly higher MSRP of $1400 and targets advanced users. Both grinders fall under the semi-automatic category but cater to different skill levels. The pricing indicates that the Sette 270 is more accessible for those starting to delve into espresso making.

Brewing Comparison

In terms of grinding information, both grinders utilize conical burrs; however, the Sette 270 features a smaller 40mm burr diameter compared to the Aires' larger 83mm burr. The Sette offers both stepped and stepless adjustment, allowing for precise grind settings, while the Aries only provides stepless adjustment with a very fine scale of 1 micron. The Sette's hopper type is a traditional hopper, whereas the Aries uses a single-dose hopper which minimizes waste and ensures fresh coffee. Dosing in the Sette is achieved through a time-based method along with a manual option, while the Aries employs an on/off toggle for dose control.

Features Comparison

Notably, the Sette 270 has a fixed RPM of 1100 without adjustable settings, which contrasts with the Aries that has adjustable RPM ranging from 90 to 150. The Sette's grind range is limited to espresso, while the Aries can handle a full range from pour-over to espresso, offering greater versatility. Both grinders support swappable burrs, ensuring longevity and customization in grinding performance.
