EspressoBot Comparison

Machine Overview

The Eureka Mignon Notte, priced at $329, and the Baratza Sette 270, at $399, are both semi-automatic espresso grinders targeted at intermediate skill levels. Both brands, Eureka and Baratza, are well-regarded in the espresso community, making them reliable choices for home baristas seeking to enhance their brewing skills. Despite the similarity in skill targeting, the difference in price sets them apart, with the Baratza Sette 270 being the more expensive option.

Brewing Comparison

In terms of grinding information, the Eureka Mignon Notte utilizes flat stainless steel burrs with a 50mm diameter and offers a stepless adjustment system. This allows precise control of grind size, which is critical for espresso preparation. Contrastingly, the Baratza Sette 270 employs conical steel burrs of 40mm diameter and features both stepped and stepless adjustment options, catering to users who need flexibility in grind size. Both grinders utilize hoppers for bean storage, with the Mignon Notte using a "Press & Hold" primary dosing method while the Sette 270 uses a time-based dosing method, providing different user experiences related to grind preparation.

Features Comparison

Regarding key features, the Eureka Mignon Notte has a grind range specifically for espresso, while the Baratza Sette 270 also specializes in espresso grinding but includes swappable burrs, allowing for easier upgrades or replacements. Neither grinder has adjustable RPM, as both operate at fixed speeds of 1350 RPM for the Mignon Notte and 1100 RPM for the Sette 270. The retention of ground coffee is low for both, with the Mignon Notte retaining 1 - 1.5 g of grounds, while the Sette 270 offers minimal retention of less than 0.1 g, making them efficient for everyday use.
