I bought a Gaggia Classic Pro today for my first espresso machine. I needed a grinder that was good but would not break the bank. After watching and reading way too many reviews I decided on this one as good value for money. At some point I can always upgrade after I’ve settled into learning how to make espresso. Great video Kyle. Thanks for breaking it down to the bottom line. I appreciate it! ☕️👊🏻

Just got a Gaggia Classic Pro. How’s this grinder still treating you? A good match?

I bought the 270WI, there is no going back from here and weighing beans manually is so old school for me now :) As a taste comparison I had a BES870 with built in grinder, a Breville Smart Grinder and the Baratza 270WI. I put through 18grams of beans (manually weighed) through all grinders and brewed on my Breville Dual Boiler at a 2:1 brew ratio. I repeated this test 3 times. The taste difference was night and day. the espresso using the grinder on the BES870 did not taste good no matter what I did. The smart grinder made a good drop but the espresso from the 270 kept me wanting more. Same beans, same espresso machine, the grinder truly does make a big difference. Love my Baratza.

Thank you for this very practical and helpful video! I have been researching on a good enough espresso grinder to start off with and your video assured me that the Sette 30 is the way to get started with. My mind is set!

One word of warning on the Sette 270: I have owned one for about a two years now and put it through the paces daily. I had very good results with it being a low retention (at most 0.1 to 0.2) single dosing grinder (even at espresso fine) UNTIL the gear box assembly went bad and was replaced. Afterwards, it starting retain 1.0 to 1.5 grams when grinding finer than a setting 20. Static was also now a problem where it had not been before. The RDT technique counteracts the static cling to the underside of the exit chute, but it did not fix the grind retention. If you are okay with purging old coffee or disassembling the lower burr and cleaning it out, this may not be an issue for you. Just do not buy this for a low retention grinder until Baratza fixes this issue. I have spoken to them and they are aware of the problem, but have no solution to date.

My cousin inspires me, he is a home barista like me and we always like to talk about coffee and machine and what is new on the market. I like this baratza grinder, grind size looks consistent and fluffy.

I have the settle 270Wi and I absolutely love it! Still using my old encore for pour over and going strong 6 years on. And I used my encore for espresso for a while (with a shim) until I upgraded. New set looks ace 😁

My mom is one of the most inspiring people I know. Full of hope, compassion, and an endless amount of generosity.

Hi Kyle, nice video! I bought the Breville in the US and a friend brought it to Peru, but I never used it because one of my best friends who is in the coffee business needed it to start a project and now I am grinder-less... my aunt has inspired me and still inspires me to be a better person. My passion for the arts and history comes from her. Keep up the good work with your videos!!! Greetings from Peru!!!

Kyle, Great videos. I have the Sette 270I and the Breville and you are spot on in terms of what make better coffee - the Sette. Yep, its one loud SOB but its much faster and so the noise does not last. I have played with idea of taking it apart and seeing if a bit noise material could be stuffed in. For inspiration in my life, besides your Kindness Movement, was my college professor when I got of the Air Force. Mari was a tough as they come but insisted that every student achieved in ways they did not think they could. We stayed in contact until she passed away about 10 years ago, but I still hear her talking to me when I face a new challenge.

The thing that keeps me inspired especially in these times simply is Love. Thanks for the great content and stay save.

One thing that inspires me this season is finding ways to grow as a person ( and home brewer) and it's great to know that you have friends and family to help you with that. Thanks for being a blessing to everyone through your content Kyle! Love the new setup btw 💯. Is this the new studio?

My grandfather inspires me. Growing up he tutored me and helped me excel in all my classes, he stayed up countless nights just to make sure I got a concept nailed down or a certain problem completely understood.

I think a benefit is that if you want the micro adjustment you can get the part from Baratza for $90. So not really missing out by getting the basic 30 first, and its easy to upgrade later.

I had this question in mind all along! thank u

As a medical student, I am always inspired by senior doctors who share a passion in helping their patients and going the extra mile to make the patient a little more comfortable ((: its amazing

Amazing review and thanks for including the Smart Grinder Pro

I’m inspired by my dad. He’s shown me that it’s not what happens to you, but how you react to it that matters. I’ve never met anyone else that gets so much joy from helping others. He continues to be an example to me.

My son inspires me, his joy for life and the way he just gives everything a go no matter what makes me want to be a better dad and person in general.

I have the Sette 30 and recently bought the burr carrier with the micro-adjustment for £70 from Baratza in England. This still works out much cheaper than a 270 and I also got the BG burr. I like the Sette very much.

My inspiration comes from my parents. Every day I realize the sacrifices they have made and how much they did with so little.

Thank-you for the review! I am a just in the process of deciding on my first home espresso set-up, and this was super helpful, as to be honest I hadn't even considered the 30 until today! I want to tell you a bit about my wife who is a constant inspiration. We are first time parents, and I am working from home. I am daily in awe of how she will get up with the sunrise when our daughter wakes up, and gives to much love and energy into making our daughter's day exciting, and special. She will then go and work a 12 hour night shift as a nurse at the children's hospital, where I know she continues to give so much of herself to her patients. She inspires me to be a better father(even when I feel burnt at the end of the day), to be more gracious within my work, and by her very attitude she keeps inspiring me to rise above circumstance and encourage those around me.

Great video. Would love this grinder!! My two sons are what inspire me to keep going day in and day out! Coffee is what allows me to keep up with them!

Another great job, Kyle! Thank you

Awesome espresso coffee video like this inspires me everyday!! Thanks a lot Kyle!

Certainly my morning coffee and the effort that goes into making a good one inspires me every day.

Bringing joy to people keeps me going. My dad and my brother are big inspirations.

My dad inspires me, he works at the hospital and especially during this crazy time its hard work. His continuous great attitude and unconditional giving spirit inspires me every day.

Love the intro Kyle! 1) My motivation to be better everyday inspires me. 2) My wife inspires me daily working hard, like nothing has happened! 3) Coffee and the process of making the drinks keeps me going! V60, Aeropress, Pure Over, Espresso etc

I love leaning about coffee, making coffee & drinking coffee, I also love how it brings us together to take a break from our busy lives. I would love to up my coffee game with a Baratza grinder to inspire me to improve my coffee skills. Thankyou.

Kyle, you inspire me! I’m tryin to step my coffee game up!

I have been going through your videos and thank you for making this process a bit easier. I am not a coffee drinker, never a single cup in my 47 years of life so far. I am however looking at investing in an espresso machine for my wife who cant get enough of it. Thank you again for packing a lot of great useful information in all your videos.

Glad to hear they help!

My dad inspires me, he works so hard and sacrifices so much for us and never complains despite his health conditions

After watching this video and several others of your videos, really helps clear things up for me.. I've been enjoying espresso since i was 4 with my father and still do till this day.. i find that sitting down with people over a cup of espresso becomes bonding time, along with enjoying the taste and other characters all different beans have to offer. With that said.. im on alittle bit of a mission and competition to make a better cup of espresso then my father who taught me almost everything i know about it, just by him growing up in Italy working at different bars being a batista. He thinks grinders like this wont make a differnce.. if i can get my hands on one. I would love to prove him wrong!!😋

Great new bunker man! Your hardwork inspires me 😁

Seriously, anyone who putting effort and publish their video inspire me. There’s always something new and different to learn and share.

Kyle - you are killing it out here! New set is even more beautiful on camera 🤙🏼

Thank you friend.

My grandfather and grandmother are my inspiration, they change and adapt, integrate and love a new country so well. I learn new things every time I visit them and I start loving and got into the coffee world with my grandfather, making is coffee every time after lunch and diner

One thing that keeps me going is safe interaction with large groups of people. I miss live concerts, meeting new people, go to comic conventions and seeing new artists. Seeing people’s passions and supporting them is something that keeps me going

The person that gives me the most inspiration is my grandmother. She is 98 and has had a tough life (losing her husband when she was 25 with 9 kids at home. Lost 4 of her kids, etc.) Despite all of that, she is the most positive and happy go lucky person I know. Her outlook on life is the best and has been a guiding principle throughout my life as well. What I look forward to the most these days is for the covid restrictions to be loosen up so that I can finally spend quality time with my family :) Thanks for the great videos. It's fun to see another Canadian producing great content. Cheers from New Brunswick :)

Baratza sette 30 seems great when paired with my flair pro 2 since I can control the pressure. Thanks for the great video.

What inspires me is travel! I love seeing the world and meeting new people and living life to find new experiences. Btw... great video!

Love the new set! Looks so clean! 1. The thing that inspires me is bringing joy to people by making them a good cup of coffee and seeing their reaction when they taste actual good coffee, as well as getting people just stoked on specialty coffee in general after teaching them a thing or two. 2. People that inspire me the most are of course my wife and how strong and amazing she is at being a wife and mother to our daughter. Also just the coffee community, there are so many great, supportive and creative people. 3. Biggest thing that keeps me going is being a Dad and husband as well as my relationship with Jesus and living it out to be a light in these dark times.

I was torn and contemplating between these two machines and you truly helped outline the pros and cons between Baratza and Breville model. I actually like the shape of the Baratza, where the Breville's shell seems more 'conventional'. But based on their $49 price difference, I think you won me over the grind consistency and retention quality of baratza over any other features.

Did you get the Baratza?

Cool intro, cool video lab, cool tunes, I agree with you, depending on the need for which brewing method on which to buy. In their on way both are sweet looking, I do prefer a quieter coffee grinder though. Superbly done, thank you

Thanks for watching!

Great video! Just starting out on my coffee journey and would LOVE that grinder. I've been lucky enough to be inspired by a couple of really great college professors recently. I'm studying to be a nurse so I'm doing some pretty heavy classes which can be difficult to teach online. Despite all that's happen and the difficulties they face these professors push through out of sheer passion for their work and a desire to get students through. What's keeps me going is my wife and kid... And coffee... Don't forget the coffee. Thanks for the vid and the chance to win thai grinder.

One thing that has been keeping me going is the pursuit of knowledge. There is so much out there to learn and it’s been a fun rabbit whole over this year to learn anything you want. People are inspiring as they share there knowledge and experience via books or KZread.

Kyle, your production quality and content is top notch 👌🏽 your channel is a hidden gem and even more underrated than the Sette 30 in my opinion😜 Home espresso is a niche space for sure. Keep up the great work and I’m looking forward to more vids down the line. Cheers! ☕️

Much appreciated.

I have the sette 30, and bought a 270 adjustment collar to swap out the original collar. Perfect for single dosing: no need for extra timer memory, or an automatic scale

My parents, particularly my mother, inspire me. My mother raised 4 kids, worked full time as a teacher for kids with special needs, worked tirelessly as a health advocate for me, creates community around her wherever she goes, and if my siblings are any indication, she’s done a darned fine job. We're now adults and some of us are parents and we're all close, my siblings are kind, community oriented people and I think that’s in large part to our upbringing. Regardless of winning anything, it’s always nice to share how proud of her I am.

Appreciate your breakdown on all the details.

1 thing that inspires me is youtube creators, there are so many great videos of people just giving great information and experiences during the pandemic. The person that inspires me is my parents, with everything going on in the world they are still a rock in my life. 1 thing that keeps me going is being able to travel again and explore the world, it's all I can think about lately and cannot wait until its safe again to do so.

My son inspires me everyday to be a better person. He is always so kind and selfless to everyone. When he sees someone is hurting, he takes time to comfort and talk to them. We really could use more people like him. I'm extremely proud of him.

One thing that inspires me is the craft movement in general we are seeing right now. We have super high quality everything if we just look for it, whisky, beer, coffee, tea, food, cocktails ect ect and they all focus on someone being super passionate about something that manage to make something he loves doing into a career. I really want to open a cafe one day and all these guys living their dream for something they are passionate about makes me think I can do it

Thanks for the breakdown; that was really helpful to get someone's take on micro-steps and why they aren't always the be all end all. I'm thankful for my little sister who got me into enjoying coffee and can't wait for lockdown to end so that I can go see her in person (Missing family and living vicariously through coffee and zoom chats only gets you so far).

Thinkin' about the essential workers keeping the world spinning on the daily is inspiring. Always lifts my spirits and gives me hope.

My dad inspires me to do the best I can in everything I do and he is the one who keeps me going and motivated

I've been struggling with my aergrind to dial in (technically its stepless but with such tiny burrs i just dont think its linear). I've been inspired by the community of people that share their passions freely, from aeropress and cafelat robot fans to my other interests (social and technological). Every time I come across anybody who wants to share, geek out a bit, and listen for the same - thats inspiration!

Great comparison. I was wondering why I was never really satisfied with the coffee from the Smart Grinder. It's a pity the grind quality is not quite up to scratch as Breville does everything else really well. Ergonomically, it's superior to every other home grinder.

I’m so in awe of and inspired by my friend. She has some serious chronic health issues but never lets that get her down or stop her from living a full life.

Such a positive tone! Coffee brings us together all the time and I just love folks who continually do so. I recently got back into roasting my own beans and I cannot wait to share them with friends, family, strangers, colleagues, and anyone who loves coffee! I’m incredibly inspired by people who are continually giving to their community behind the scenes. Whether it’s moving the fallen branch off the sidewalk so someone won’t trip or the person who takes meals on the streets to our homeless community. These people connect with their community without fanfare or profit. If I win - I will donate $300 to Community Tampa Bay. If I don’t, they still get $100. Oh, and I’ll be sure to be on the lookout for random places to be helpful for my community!

I work in the ski industries and we have a lot of disable customer who come shop for ski and even if they cant walk they always have a smile on their face and are super happy that they still can do the sport they love.

I am the reverse. My children inspire me everyday. As they grow into young adults and now one with his own child I see just how their life journeys differ individually but how they embrace life everyday and achieve in their own unique way. They inspire me to live to see them grow.

I would say it was my dad who inspires me, he grew up at the time when my country was controlled by French and it was my beloved grandfather who introduced the art of coffee to him then him to me. Our life has changed since we moved to US but I admire his knowledge and hardwoking ethic to keep his passion in the art of coffee as well as inspiring me :)

im inspired by people and tinkering with stuff keeps me going. I love learning new skills and coffee is the newest hobby of mine

Positivity and self awareness is what's motivating me during this challenging time.

What inspires me is watching people around me or online, that live in a way or do things that I'd like to do. And thinking about what I need to do to get there as well.

I am inspired by both of my parents because they have showed me how to respect one another, and as I have got older I have learned and saw how much they both have sacrificed for me and my younger brother for us to be where we are today.

My parents really inspire me. They are pursuing the things that passionate themself.

Wow, what an intro, love your videos. As for grinder, well my Niche is due for delivery on thursday, for sur it is more expensive , but it is the less expensive single dosing grinder I could find, so for me that is good value.

Own this, use daily with my flair signature pro 2 and swear by it every sip of tht heavenly cup!

My wife inspires me with her endless amount of care and love she has for others. She quite literally cannot let someone be hurting or in bad straits without finding a way to help.

Hello Kyle, thanks for the great information in this video. You mentioned that one could make a decent cup of coffee using this grinder and Breville Bambino Plus. I wonder if switching from pressurized to non-pressurized filter baskets will make my coffee better when using this grinder and bambino plus OR it will not make any difference in this case?

My sister inspires me as she helped raise me after my father passed away when I was a young child, to stay strong in my Life and family and not to fall to depression after double suicide in my family.. What keeps me going is to workout and always to keep a hobby to kind my mind clear and fresh, striving in my career is one and also trying to get better at making coffee at home.. Great videos they help a lot thank you

I would be pretty comfortable with the 30 to start, but would always want the 270. The thing that has kept me going is outdoor exercise in socially distanced environments such as mountain biking! Would absolutely be destroyed if I couldn't do that, as it's my inspiration and how I'm able to get good thoughts out

I'm in Vernon, BC and been on this coffee journey of mine ever since covid started last year and am so glad that I am. I started off with the BBE because it can do it all, may not be the best but at least it can do everything to an acceptable level and I don't regret it one bit. The one thing holding me back is the built in grinder, I've never fully dialed a bean to its full potential due to the grinder not being the best, 1 setting and I'm choking and the one up from it is too coarse. t The built in grinder always leaves me hanging short on quality, I've been trying to get the best drinks I can for my fam and friends but the breville built in grinder just ain't doing it. I'm not sure if you're in the US or not but most videos reviewing alot of coffee Gear is in usd when referring to the price. That gets me excited till I remember I'm in Canada and then I end up checking the price and it always ends up being out of my budget as I'm a little tight on money during covid rn. I've been watching alot of your videos lately and you've rly convinced me to pull the trigger and buy the 270 or 30 after I pool together my birthday or Christmas money.

Keep it going bro. Love your content

Thank you!

I am currently studying physics and I'm inspired everyday by people who pursue fundamental knowledge about reality. I am very grateful to have the opportunity to go to college to learn something I genuinely love. On a side note, I very recently got into making good coffee and your videos are very informative and well produced. Kudos to you!

Thanks for the overview of the Sette 30. I agree, it's a great grinder. The price is right and nothing can preform with it. I almost bought one. I need to upgrade from my Encore to go with my Gaggia Classic Pro. Researching espresso grinders it seems the Sette has reliability problems. I love the Encore and will always use it for filter coffee. Though about the 270 and committed to the $400 price tag. More research and the Eureka Mignon line really impressed me. For the same money as the 270 I can get the Mignon Facile. A step down from the Silenzio but only lacks the timer and some external touches. Hope to get a Eureka soon. What inspires me is the goodness of humanity. How when adversity strikes there are always people who step up to help.

Yay a video on my grinder the 270!

My dad inspires me, he's been though a range of times good and bad and seeing how much of a rock he is is just 👌

My mother inspires me. She had to deal with moving to America and being the family matriarch and dealing with my dad. I just love her so much.

My father inspires me. He is in his early 90s and grew up in the depression. He had to leave school as a teenager to help support the family and later in life finished his education and became an executive at his company. He worked hard and never gave up.

Loved your video

Great; finding the best taste for any level of wallet is inspiring. I do not know how much Grinder videos I watched in the last days. ;-)

The person that inspires me the most is James Hoffman. He's calm, thoughtful, humble and very honest. He's the youtuber who kept me entertained during all this pandemic, who gave me a new way to reconnect with my mother and who helped me really appreciate coffee (although I already liked coffee before). I admire that man a lot and he helped me appreciate the things in my life I was failing to remember I had because of this quarantine. Coffee has now become the ray of sunshine in my life. Do keep going, it's great watching a guy as driven and encouraging as you.

I am inspired by all the people that no matter how difficult the situation is they keep pushing!

Passion inspires me, I am lucky to be surrounded by so many wonderful people doing great things with so much passion. It inspires me to be a better person keeps me growing

I always think you're gonna have like 500k subs when I watch the intros to your videos. Very great work!

Kyle- a person that inspires me and keep me going is Omar “crispy” Avila. Iraqi was vet, Purple Heart recipient, survived over 80% body burns and a below the knee amputee. And have undergone over 100 surgeries. Always smiles and tries to have a great attitude at all times. Plus he love damn good coffee!

Working outside my home country taught me about life and challenges and while I try to climb over those challenges, I remember my father who worked outside my home country and only comes home 1 or 2 months in a year. He inspired me to be more strong and to depend on myself to get out of sticky situations. I know he had a tougher time than me as he worked in the sea while I am land based.

What inspirers me is each morning is to get up from the bet and have a shot of fresh coffee. This thing would definitely increase my joy of my morning routine fresh more quality grind of coffee. Nice give away!

I get inspired by enthusiastic thinkers. Everyone is a thinker, but it's only when they share with enthusiasm that their thoughts reach the audience (and me). And I get inspired by your video, that I can make great coffee at home, which will give a smile on my day.

My friend inspires me. She moved by herself all the way to Australia to try something new. That kind of bravery to me is admirable.

My main inspiration these days is my late grandfather, who died in August. He was a geologist, and really changed the game in his field. I aspire to help people and inspire them like he did.

My wife inspires me to keep going and give 100% to all I do - she is a Special Education teacher and this last year has been so difficult for her as an educator but she continues to pour herself out to inspire and help her students be the best they can be!

I am always inspired by professionals in certain area, which have skills that others at first could not imagine to get,. But due to knowledge sharing from professionals and intensive practising by people who really want to do something they saw, everythings starts to be possible. I am very happy that thorugh that path I have learned a lot to perform, and also it gives me motivation to share skills that I am the best with to others.

Thanks for the video. I'm looking for my very first electric grinder. When you said which grinder should I buy, that was also my feeling lol. The problem is, I still getting struggle about which one to get. So many options and now the Arco is out there but don't know if fits my interests, then I realized the kmax sounds great but is manual. Well, I have to check more lol

Not to sound cliche, but it’s content like this that inspires me. Another thing that inspires me is watching women absolutely crushing it in every aspect. I’ve been very fortunate to know some truly incredible women in the coffee world, and they help me keep the passion going. Also, I love the style of your videos, and I look forward to more!

You have nice and clear videos and I like your energy! Will this Baratza sette 30 be a good combination with my Flair pro that I’m about to order right now?

The one thing that has inspired me is going to all the cafes around where I grew up now that I have a passion for coffee.

My girlfriend is who inspires me and I just got a breville barista express and coffee has always been what keeps me going lol I’d love to add this grinder to my setup I’m new to espresso brewing at home and eventually would love a new machine but I’m happy with what I’ve started with so far , love your videos keep em coming!!!
