INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing the Sette
Conical Burr Coffee Grinder. With the
Sette, it’s now easier than ever to
make a delicious cup of coffee.
What follows are just some of the features that make the Sette
stand out from other grinders in its class.
CONICAL BURR GRINDER MANUAL
Sette 270W i
Conical Burrs
Manufactured in Liechtenstein, the 40mm steel conical
burrs grind coffee at 3.5 grams to 5.5 grams a second.
depending on the setting. These conical burrs are durable
and will remain sharp for many years. The adjustment
mechanism provides precise burr alignment ensuring
accurate grinding.
Grind Adjustment
The Sette has 31 macro-adjustment steps which range from
ne for espresso to medium-coarse for manual brewing. A
stepless micro-adjustment with nine indicators allows the
user to precisely dial in a perfect espresso. The adjustment
mechanism is directly connected to the cone burr, resulting
in immediate and true grind adjustment. This unique
adjustment system gives the Sette a total of 270 discreet
grind settings.
Digital Control Panel
The control panel with backlit LED display is user-friendly.
Three preset buttons can be programmed to the tenth of
a gram for grind-by-weight operation. Simply press the
‘’START’’ button and the Sette automatically delivers
precise dosing.
Convertible Device Holder
A built-in convertible device holder allows you to grind
directly into your portalter, the supplied grounds bin, or
a range of manual brewing devices – a standout feature
amongst all other home grinders. The Sette’s grounds bin
is made from an anti-static plastic, with a spout for easy
transfer into your preferred brewing device. The device
holder can accommodate a wide range of portalter sizes
and includes an integrated hook for stability.

OPERATION
INITIAL SETUP
Hand-wash the hopper lid (1), bean hopper (2), grounds bin (9), and removable grounds tray (11) in warm, soapy water and
dry thoroughly. Do not wash the grind adjustment assembly (6) in water or it, and the cone burr, will rust.
With the bean shutoff knob (3) facing the 11 o’clock position, line up the 3 hopper tabs with the slots in the top of the
grinder. Set the hopper in place and rotate rmly clockwise until the hopper clicks into place. Install the hopper lid (1) onto
the bean hopper (2). Rotate macro-adjustment until the black grind setting indicator is at 18.
DUTY CYCLE (RATIO OF GRINDER USE:REST)
The Sette is designed for a maximum of 2 lbs (1 kg) per day, with a duty cycle of 10%. Exceeding this duty cycle will not
immediately break your Sette, however its longevity may be reduced if you exceed this. We want to remind everyone buying
the Sette that it was designed for home use (short duration grinding).
Here is a general overview of the duty cycle of the Sette Series:
1. Espresso (Settings 3-9): after grinding a dose of espresso (avg 18g), for approx 6 seconds, the 270Wi should
rest for about 60 seconds. This is about what you would expect if making back-to-back shots on a one-group
machine - 1 shot/minute.
2. Brew (Setting 15-30): if grinding a batch for lter brew (of no more than 150g of coffee in a single operation
- about the capacity of the included grounds bin) for approx 25 seconds. Then, the grinder should rest for
about 250 seconds - 1 grind batch/4 mins.
Note: The hopper must be installed with the black grind setting indicator (20) on a setting of 31
or lower for the motor to start. Ensure the shut-off knob (3) is in the open position.

ADJUSTING THE CONVERTIBLE DEVICE ARMS & PORTAFILTER HOOK:
To convert the device holder to the portalter holder position, push in on the right arm
and swing it down and to the left until it clicks into position (g. A). To return to the
original position, push in on the right arm and rotate to the right and up until it clicks
into place (g. B). The left arm will automatically move into position as the right arm is
moved.
When grinding directly into a portalter, you must rst convert the arms to portalter
holder position and swing the hook to the front. The hook is designed to support the
top lip of your portalter while the arms support the bottom of your portalter. It is
imperative that the hook is adjusted so that the portalter sits level. To adjust the
hook, loosen the 2mm hex screw that sits below the hook, adjust the portalter hook
up or down, and tighten screw once in the proper position. After adjusting the hook,
run a test grind. If the portalter does not sit level through the grinding process, further
adjustments may be needed.
ADJUSTING THE GRIND SETTING
The Sette has two different adjustments. The macro adjust makes large adjustments from 1-31, while the stepless micro
adjust allows for small adjustments to ne-tune. We recommend running the motor when making micro or macro grind
adjustments. It’s best to start with your micro adjustment at “E”, and dial in the macro as close to the desired grind as
possible, then adjust the micro as needed.
RECOMMENDED INITIAL SETTINGS
The macro settings shown in the table below can be used as a general guideline for starting points*. The actual particle
size for a particular setting will vary depending on many factors including the degree of roast (light vs. dark), freshness,
humidity, type of bean, oil content, etc. As such, there is no exact correct setting for any brewing method. Baratza
recommends starting with our suggested settings and adjusting to taste from there. For espresso, we recommend 9E.
For drip, we recommend 20E. With use, you will determine the setting that is right for your taste, brewing style, and your
favorite beans.
Espresso AeroPress V-60 Drip brew
3-9 10-15 13-18 15-25
*If you nd that your preferred setting is outside of this range, there is no need to be concerned, grind to your
personal taste.
g. A
g. B
Warning: The Sette grinds at a very high speed, so be careful not to overll the portalter or
bin! If a mound of coffee backs up into the chute it will clog the grinder. Unclogging requires
thorough manual cleaning.

WEIGHT BASED GRINDING OPERATION
Place the portalter or grounds bin onto the convertible arms. Press a preset button (1,2,3). The screen will show the
corresponding programmed grind weight in grams. Press ‘’START’’. There may be a slight delay as the machine tares and
then begins grinding. While grinding, the screen will count up in grams to the target weight, the motor will stop, hitting the
desired gram amount.
If you would like to stop before the cycle has completed, press the STOP button.
This will turn the motor off, and reset the screen to your initially chosen grind weight.
However, if you would like to pause the grind without resetting to the initially chosen
grind weight, press the PAUSE button. This will immediately pause the machine.
Pressing ‘’START’’ will resume grinding until the unit reaches the desired weight. To
reset the grind cycle press the STOP button.
PROGRAMMING
The Sette 270Wiis equipped with three programmable buttons (1, 2, 3). These only adjust the desired grind weight, they do
not adjust the grind setting (i.e. coarse/ne). Each button comes from the factory with the following presets: 1=18g, 2=25g,
3=35g.
You can easily adjust the presets by following these steps:
1. Select a preset button.
2. Press the up or down arrow buttons to adjust the weight.
3. Once you have reached the desired weight setting, press and hold the preset button for three seconds, at
which point the screen will blink to conrm. The setting is now saved, even if the grinder is unplugged.
BURST MODE
If during weight based grinding operation, a preset grind cycle is stopped within ve grams of the target weight due to
interference, pressing ‘’START’’ will provide a very short burst of grinding that can be repeated indenitely. Use this mode to
“top off” a dose. Exiting this mode requires removal of the grounds bin/portalter or pressing the STOP button.
If the grinder stops more than ve grams before the target weight, the grinder will not enter Burst Mode and instead will
behave as if paused. Simply press ‘’START’’ once more to resume grinding towards the target weight.

PULSE FUNCTION/MANUAL MODE
The Sette 270Wialso has a pulse function/manual weight
grinding mode. To turn the grinder on in this mode, simply hold
‘’START’’ for more than 2 seconds. The Sette will ash “P”, then
it will show 0.0, indicating that the scale has tared. Pressing and
holding ‘’START’’ again will engage the motor. The grinder will
count up as it measures ground coffee, and will cease grinding as
soon as ‘’START’’ is released. At this point, the ‘’START’’ button is
now a pulse button. To exit this mode, press STOP.
SOFT RESET FUNCTION
The soft reset function serves to erase the grinder’s “memory” of previous grinds. This is useful if the grinder has not
reached an accurate dose weight after 3-4 grinds (on a single grind setting), or after making a signicant change in grind
setting (15+ macro settings). Erasing the record of previous grinds allows the software to start learning with a clean slate.
Each preset (1, 2 & 3) has its own independent “memory”, so the Soft Reset function is specic to a single preset.
To perform a Soft Reset on a specic preset, make sure the desired preset is selected. Then double tap the PLAY button.
The grinder will ash “CC” then immediately grind the preset dose. From this dose forward, the grinder should reach
accuracy within 3-4 grinds, as long as the grind size is not changed.
BLUETOOTH
Your Sette 270Wi is equipped with Bluetooth thanks to collaboration between Baratza and Acaia. Bluetooth functionality
allows for easy updating of the software and user experience without the need to conduct physical repairs, as well as
access to Acaia’s suite of apps for coffee enthusiasts.
OVER-THE-AIR UPDATES
For the best experience, download Sette Updater (by Acaia) from the Apple App Store. If, in the future, changes are made to
the user experience or software, your 270Wican receive those updates via Bluetooth.
BACKLIGHT
To turn off the backlight, press and hold STOP for two seconds. To turn the backlight on, simply press the STOP button.
NOTE: 5g minimum for preset mode: The software prevents users from setting a preset below
5g. Due to the speed of the grinder, it is unable to be accurate for weights less than 5g.

CARE AND CLEANING
REMOVING THE BEAN HOPPER
Rotate the bean shutoff knob to the CLOSED position, then press the ‘’START’’ button to
purge any remaining beans. Remove the power plug from the power outlet. Remove the
hopper by rotating it counterclockwise until it stops, and then lift the bean hopper off of
the grinder housing. It can be helpful to remove/insert the hopper while the lid is on, to
provide stability.
REMOVING THE CONE BURR/GRIND ADJUSTMENT ASSEMBLY
1. The adjustable portalter hook must be swung to the side in order to remove the
grind adjustment assembly (g. C).
2. Rotate the bean shutoff knob so it is in the CLOSED position, then hold the START button to run any
remaining beans through the grinder (g. D).
3. Once the grinder has been fully purged, rotate the grind adjustment assembly beyond the coarsest setting
to the install/remove indicator (blue triangle). The assembly will release downward for removal (g. E).

CLEANING THE GROUNDS BIN, HOPPER AND BURRS
Wash the grounds bin, hopper, and the hopper lid in warm soapy water, then rinse and dry. Never wash the burrs or they will
rust. If the grinder is used daily, the burrs should be cleaned every few months with a stiff brush or by using tablets (see
below for Automatic Cleaning). Note that tablets will not clear a clogged grinder. If your grinder is clogged, refer to Clearing
a Clogged Grinder.
CLEARING A CLOGGED GRINDER
If your grinder is not dispensing coffee normally, it could be clogged with coffee powder. This can happen if the grounds bin
or portalter is allowed to overll and ground coffee gets backed up into the grounds chute and grinding chamber. It can
also happen with the buildup of coffee oils.
UNCLOGGING THE GRINDER
1. Remove the cone burr/adjustment collar assembly (see gures C, D, and E).
2. The cone burr will have compacted coffee around and below it. Using a ne tool like a toothpick or
chopstick, break up the compacted coffee.
3. Continued picking and scraping will eventually clear out the ports in the cone burr holder.
4. Once all six openings are clear in the cone burr holder, set it onto a at, sturdy surface with the burr facing
down. Set the adjustment collar assembly over the top and rmly press it onto the cone burr and holder.
AUTOMATIC CLEANING
A thorough, fast, and easy cleaning can be accomplished using Full Circle™ biodegradable grinder cleaning tablets. Full
Circle tablets are designed to dislodge coffee particles and absorb and remove odors and coffee oil residue. Remove all
beans from the hopper and run the grinder to remove any beans inside. Place the recommended amount of Full Circle into
the empty hopper. Set the macro adjust to 20, insert the grounds bin and run the grinder until empty. Grind all of the tablets
into the bin. Once complete, we recommend grinding approximately 30g coffee to remove any tablet residue. Discard the
ground tablets/coffee. For information on Full Circle cleaning tablets, go to www.urnex.com.
Do not put the bean hopper, hopper lid, or grounds bin in the dishwasher. Hand wash only.
Again, Do NOT wash the grind adjustment assembly OR BURRS in water.

RECALIBRATING/SHIMMING THE CONE BURR:
After the rst few pounds of coffee, the grind produced at the lowest setting may not be ne enough for espresso. To shift
the grind range ner, a small washer (included) can be installed below the cone burr. First, follow the steps in “Removing
the Cone Burr/Grind Adjustment Assembly” (on page 10) then proceed to the steps below.
1. Take the grind adjustment assembly in your hand, grab the cone burr and holder with your other hand and
pull/pry them apart. (g I)
2. Once the cone burr and holder are separated, remove the clear plastic nozzle by pulling away from the cone
burr holder.
3. With the included 5mm hex wrench, fully loosen the bolt in the bottom of the cone burr holder
4. Remove the cone burr from the holder. The cone burr is often tightly afxed. To easily remove, put the 5mm
hex bolt back in position but do not thread it in. Insert your 5mm hex key into the head of the bolt, and then
tap the hex key against your work surface. This tactic enables the user to punch the cone burr off of the
holder. (g J)
5. Place one washer onto the mating surface of the cone burr holder.
6. Reinstall the cone burr so that the tabs on the cone burr holder seat fully into the slots on the bottom
of the burr.
7. Reinstall the bolt and tighten down as much as possible.
8. Reinstall the chute.
9. Set the cone burr and holder onto the counter with the burr resting on the work surface. Set the adjustment
ring (the ribbed portion facing down) over the top and rmly press the adjustment assembly down onto the
cone burr and holder (g L).
