    I'll be waiting for Chris to test it thoroughly first as I would really like to see it take a beating and get the thumbs up. If so, my old faithful Major will be going cheap or donated to mum :-)

      I'm thinking say 10kg in a week as a first workout...

        Yeah that reflects my thoughts also. I was very excited at first but then realised that at that price point it really is more appliance like. For what the forecasted cost of the unit is I wouldn't like to be disappointed with it.

        My Major is totally fine for my needs, it's the features of the Sette of course that has me very keen and should it appear to be an appliance that lasts lets say 5 years trouble free I could live with that.

            Jim Schulman blind tested this vs a K30 and the K30 won. Sette was judged a good grinder at a keen price point but not the silver bullet for taste.

              Has Jim posted his findings from testing ? Or was this from the Sette blind taste test Dan ran at counter culture?

                The 5 sec on seems a bit short if you are grinding for a larger pour over or similar?

                I hope this grinder stacks up for durability.

                Cheers

                  I think we're talking about the same thing. dans review linked to a Jim Schulman led exercise quite possible hosted by Dan.

                    Will be interested to see the more detailed reviews from variety of users. The motor is rated for 150 hours vs something like a kafatek monolith which has a 10,000 hour rated motor. My main question mark for the Sette will be on how many problems will be experienced by the users with the V1.0 of the Sette.

                      Not sure if it's this CounterCulture and mentioned on HB by the looks "K30... wins this taste test against the Baratza Sette, 7 to 5"

                      Not too bad given the price difference ;-)

                        The Baratza Sette range is estimated to arrive in December with all pre-orders are expected to ship mid December 2016.
                        Will they just be in time for Christmas...?

                        Only time will tell I guess.

                        Hoping to see CoffeeParts drop their pricing to match the main reseller's list pricing ... Search results for: 'sette'

                          Or you could just buy it from the "main resellers list pricing"

                            CP are site sponsors and they've been helpful on previous orders.

                            If there's any returns required for faults then a Sydney based seller would be better for me.

                            Double checked and see 5S have a Sydney office. My mistake. (Thought they were only WA and Melbourne). So I guess that may be an option for some to see the grinder in action first.

                              Exactly thoughts on this grinder. I'm up for a look and a feel first hand, but am in no hurry to buy, and I for one am not taken by the look.

                                Does anyone know if this grinder has been released in Australia? I was wondering if the novel theory behind this device works in the flesh.
