I am pleased - It works as advertised
I purchased a Breville Barista Express with the built in grinder. The grinder does a lousy job grinding for espresso. More specifically the grinder in never consistent. Same bean, same settings, nothing touched, and yet a different consistency of grind each and every time. It was impossible to dial it in.

Worth the money!
After watching many different reviews and how to video’s I chose this grinder as my home coffee bar addition. To be fair, I watched a lot of video’s from Whole Latte Love on YouTube on the why’s to buy this unit. Buying a good grinder is absolutely key to making espresso at home. Consistency is vital.

Excellent Espresso Grinder
The Sette 270 is a great, precision espresso grinder. It can grind somewhat coarse, but not coarse enough for a french press; maybe coarse enough for Chemex. As far as grinding for espresso, it is very fast, grinding 18g in about 6 seconds.

Nice but Noisy
I love this coffee grinder but it is pretty noisy. It looks great, there are three programmable grind times, the controls are simple to use. Some of the coffee grounds get onto the counter but you can avoid that by lifting the portafilter closer to the grinder. Don't lift it too far or you'll clog the burrs.
