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 :-)

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.

Has Jim posted his findings from testing ? Or was this from the Sette blind taste test Dan ran at counter culture?Originally posted by Obnic View PostJim 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.

Wow, that's a long quoted burr life. And they are conservative in their calcs based on their 5 sec / 18g per double.Originally posted by Melbroaster View Post
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

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"Originally posted by Obnic View PostJim Schulman blind tested this vs a K30 and the K30 won.

Not too bad given the price difference ;-)

Hoping to see CoffeeParts drop their pricing to match the main reseller's list pricing ... Search results for: 'sette'Last edited by matth3wh; 7 October 2016, 06:44 PM.

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.Originally posted by matth3wh View Post
