New addition to the mancave caffeination station - Baratza Sette 30 (discuss.online)

My wife gifted me a Baratza Sette 30 grinder this Christmas, after last year's first espresso machine, the Gaggia Classic Pro. Using the 'ol reliable Virtuoso for grinding was ok, and I could pull decent shots from the Gaggia, but the Sette 30 makes it so much easier. I love being able to put 18.5g of beans into the grinder, and get 18.5g out (usually). I did just pull the trigger on the 270 Adjustment Assembly, so I'll be able to dial in the grind even better soon.

I think I've reached my level in terms of coffee gear for now. I've got good options for a quick cup with the Moccamaster Cup-One, and when I'm in the mood for espresso or a latte, I've got the Gaggia.

I haven't tried grinding drip coffee with the Sette yet, though. I'll be giving that a try later this week. If that works well, I guess I'll have to take the Virtuoso to the office, and maybe donate it to replace their cheap blade grinder...

Happy holidays, all!

I think you'll be very happy with the new addition. I've had the Forté AP for a few years now and it has been super reliable, very consistent, and has needed only the occasional cleaning.

So you know if you can get a single dose hopper for the Sette? That's one accessory I got for the Forté and I seriously love. I use the lid as a cup for measuring beans, it pours into the hopper without dropping a single bean, and it's large enough to hold beans even for a larger chemex setup.

I did see this: Baratza single dose hopper with bellows. I don't have one, but that may be something I get later. I suppose a bellows might be decent at getting the last bit of coffee out of the burrs. It's not too expensive, so perhaps I'll give it a try...
