one tip. If you put the portafilter in the machine set it on immediately. Leaving in in the machine will heat up the coffee and will affect the taste. And do the flush just before putting the portafilter in so the water what enters the coffee will not be to hot. I know little things. And the last one: the amount of coffee beans in the grinder will effect the grinding so don't vary to much between empty and full. Try it out and you will see that it has effect.
I never use the bean hopper. Try this: Put the container on scale. Tare it. Weigh out your beans into the container. Put beans in hopper and grind into the container. Weigh it. Should be within 0.2 grams. Now tap the coffee into the portafilter. This gives you an accurate dose, keeps your beans from going stale, and gives you better distribution of the coffee into your portafilter.
Can you share the configuration of sette 270? I have the Gaggia Classic Pro and bought the Sette 270. I would like to start with some preliminary settings to avoid losing so much coffee xD Thanks a lot!!!!
You can't save coffee. Two sette 270 potentially require different a setting for the same grind size. This relates to minor manufacturing and assembly differences/inaccuracies. You'll have to test on your own machine and, in some cases, you may have to use the insert (read instructions in the manual).
looks like me when I'm waiting for my shot like a curious kid ! love your content bro but I think you have some misconception with acidity and bitterness but I totally got you there cause where I come from we call them almost the opposite lol
Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't the acidity fluctuate after the shot has been pulled? If you drink the espresso after a few minutes, won't it taste different than drinks it right away? It's like wine with the acidity fluctuations. Are you suppose to stir the shot before sipping?
try upgrade to 270i with built in scale, trust me it made your preparation easier. I use it everyday with flair espresso maker and the result is great. The preparation time also short due the scale and no mess at all.
Thanks for the video. Where’d you get the funnel? I have the exact same set up - same grinder, espresso machine and even the same scale. Also, have you had to put the spacer in the Sette?
I use a sette 30 ap and have upgraded it with the 270 grind assembly. My setting is 4b, 17grams, 29 seconds, output 35grams. Using Breville Bambino +. All I can say is “oh crap” so long Star🦌.
Just an update. I put a steel dosing funnel on top of my portafilter and put under grinder today and it created a crap load of static and cling. So I put the plastic tub back under and ran a cycle through and the static was gone. Tried again, and same thing. So I’ll just dump out of the plastic tub into the dosing funnel with the portafilter. Weird......also am doing 18g now/27 sec and using a calibrated tamper. All good.
Now that you've upgraded to the 270 grind assembly, do you think it was really worth the price? Could you not adjust the flow rate by slightly increasing/decreasing the dose?
Hi everyone, I am planning to buy the sette but I heard it’s not reliable and the gearbox is crashing very fast. What is your experience and how long you use it?
NEED HELP. GOT THE SETTE 30 PRETTY MUCH THE SAME WITH GAGGIA. DIALED THE GRINDER SETTING TO 7 TO BEGIN AL THE WAY TO 10 RIGHT NOW. THE THING IS THE EXTRACTION TAKES ME TO 50 SECONDS. THIS MEANS THE COFFEE SHOULD BE MORE COARSE RIGHT OR WHAT DO I DO WRONG. PLEASE HELP ANYONE.
@@melihbeygi6185 The perfect grind setting changes all the time. Even if you dial in a bag of beans perfectly, the beans age and it changes slightly. And when you get a new bag of beans, it changes again, sometimes a lot.
just sorta depends on the time you're aiming for too really. I personally start the time at first drip, not button switch. Ideally time should be 20-30 seconds but sometimes it's ok from 30-35 seconds too especially if its a darker roast. Really depends on preference and taste. But gud luck! Im torn between buying a stepless grinder like the ascaso or this stepped sette 270. Having steps would be easier for me to keep track of, but a stepless grinder is so gud too.
You started timing from “on” versus 1st drip. First drip should start 6-10 seconds after “on” according to the experts on UA-cam. Also, why not trust the scale built into grinder vs time based grind? Videos show built in scale accurate to 0.2g.
Thanks for the laughs. Funny guy... Love the little spinny thing with the tamper. Hilarious! 😂😂😂

I LOL when your portafilter fell from the grinder 🤣

Lmfao dude, you cracked me up. Nice video.
looks like me when I'm waiting for my shot like a curious kid ! love your content bro but I think you have some misconception with acidity and bitterness but I totally got you there cause where I come from we call them almost the opposite lol
When it's acidic, it's under extract. U go finer. When it's bitter, u over extract. U go coarser.
Unless the grind was too fine and caused channeling; then you must go coarser. I know, it is counterintuitive.

Good little video that
Please share your espresso settings. ….. i get the 18g and the yield but i am in need of the espresso settings (number & letter)
Thanks for the video. Where’d you get the funnel? I have the exact same set up - same grinder, espresso machine and even the same scale. Also, have you had to put the spacer in the Sette?
Which was your final setting in the Barazza?
It doesn’t matter. The setting changes with every bag of beans. It even changes as the beans age inside the bag. I micro adjust after most shots.
If it was too acidic why did you keep going coarser? Typically that means go finer.
Some people do misname the astringency of grinding very fine as acidity, might be what he was refering to
21g to 32 of liquid? isnt that too low? for that amount of coffee you should have like 60ml

What is your perfect setting on baratza ?
That depends on the coffee! For espresso usually 2-4 on the major setting. That’s where dialing matters, different coffees need diff settings.
It's as if you just recorded my morning with the same set up
Hey i Have the exact same setup could I have your exact settings of the grinder
It depends on your type of coffee and dose/weight!
Great!
Վերջապես, գտա տանը լավ կոֆե խմող հայ։ Մերսի, Հով ջան :)
Wooo!
What is the grind number you used on the sette grinder? for perfect expresso?
As a starter point when using new coffee do you put it on A and change grinder size from 1-31 ?
Hi everyone, I am planning to buy the sette but I heard it’s not reliable and the gearbox is crashing very fast. What is your experience and how long you use it?
What kind of filter is that? I have the same grinder and ice been thinking about getting a funnel
are you pleased by Gaggia Pro? Did you make a movie with latte art?
Very pleased! I can do one next :)
Thank you
!
NEED HELP. GOT THE SETTE 30 PRETTY MUCH THE SAME WITH GAGGIA. DIALED THE GRINDER SETTING TO 7 TO BEGIN AL THE WAY TO 10 RIGHT NOW. THE THING IS THE EXTRACTION TAKES ME TO 50 SECONDS. THIS MEANS THE COFFEE SHOULD BE MORE COARSE RIGHT OR WHAT DO I DO WRONG. PLEASE HELP ANYONE.
Fifty seconds for 32g of espresso means your grind is too fine.
@@marshallgoldberg8376 thanks yes I did the grind and now it is perfect. Thank you.

U should be weighting the coffee coming out....time should be a resultant element. Keep the weight consistent and work out grind size accordingly
Is it just me, or is he making huge adjustments- the whole point of the 270 is to have the micro adjustments
Need to start timer when you see the first drip or when it starts coming out of filter…not flipping the button…
so we have, same setup, same coffee machine, same grinder, same tamping mat! only difference i use a naked portafilter....
oh wait same scale also lol
@@MondayMornings haha nice!
Do you have the opv mod?
Try timing from first drip. Not when you start pump
just sorta depends on the time you're aiming for too really. I personally start the time at first drip, not button switch.

The sette 270 is both: 30 macro adjustments in steps and 9 step less micro adjustments. 270 total, hence the model number.
Dial in macro first. Then after macro is almost there, then micro.
Start the timer when the first drop comes out. Extraction and pour time are different.
Hii
Funny stuff.
You started timing from “on” versus 1st drip. First drip should start 6-10 seconds after “on” according to the experts on UA-cam.
Also, why not trust the scale built into grinder vs time based grind? Videos show built in scale accurate to 0.2g.
I think the normal Sette 270 has no scale and only the timer
270 doesnt have a scale. 270wi does and i believe thats an extra 100 to 150 bucks
Yeah, indeed. Honestly, the chap has a scale and isn't using it when he should be doing so.
I waist more coffee than I drink with espresso
why am i watching how u screw up your coffee making process
Not sure! Gotta mess up to learn!
