Machine Overview

The Baratza Sette 270 is priced at $399 and is suited for intermediate skill levels, offering a reliable option for enthusiasts. In contrast, the Niche Duo is priced at $700 and caters to advanced users, reflecting its higher-end position in the market. Both brands provide semi-automatic grinders tailored to espresso brewing, but they target different consumer segments.

Brewing Comparison

In terms of grinding information, the Baratza Sette 270 features conical burrs with a diameter of 40mm and offers both stepped and stepless adjustments. Its dosing methods include time-based primary dosing and manual on/off secondary dosing, utilizing a hopper type design. The Niche Duo, on the other hand, utilizes larger flat burrs of 83mm and exclusively employs a stepless adjustment with a 1-micron scale. The primary dosing method is an on/off toggle, paired with a single dose hopper, allowing for precise control and minimal retention.

Features Comparison

Both grinders showcase notable features that align with their design philosophies. The Baratza Sette 270 has a grind range specifically tailored for espresso, swappable burrs for potential upgrades, and a fixed RPM of 1100. In comparison, while the Niche Duo also features swappable burrs and a tailored espresso grind range, it operates at a lower fixed RPM of 530, emphasizing improved flavor extraction despite a lower speed.
