It operates a single-dose hopper and employs an on/off toggle dosing method. Conversely, the Baratza Sette 270’s 40mm conical burr is made of steel and offers both stepped and stepless adjustments, activated by a button. It features a hopper for bulk grinding and employs time-based dosing, making it versatile for different brewing needs.
