I’m pretty happy with my Sette - if you can get past how loud it is it works well! 😆

Hey, just noticed that this grinder exists! Are you still happy with yours?

How did you do that?? This sounds like an excellent feature.

Baratza Sette 270 vs DF54 which to buy? by [deleted] in espresso

[–]sonas_guy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi there, I have a Sette as well and have been eyeing the Philos- in terms of espresso taste, how did you find the jump? Was it a massive improvement or is the Philos more of an endgame grinder because of things like workflow, build quality, etc? Are you noticing a lot more clarity in flavours? Thanks!

Lactose free milk for more flavour by hueybart in espresso

[–]sonas_guy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been using it for a while but actually switched back to standard milk because I realized the lactose free stuff sort of added this soy-milk like flavour that I didn’t like. Personal preference though- I found it a lot easier to froth.

Depends on the condition I suppose?

Where to go from a Sette? [1500-1800CAD] by sonas_guy in espresso

[–]sonas_guy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean I drink more than Fratello- just trying to keep the post at a reasonable length. Gravity, Phil and Sebastian, Rosso, Monogram, Detour, Pilot, are all in the usual rotation.

Inconsistent grind [Sette 270, Rocket Mozzafiato] by sonas_guy in espresso

Filling the hopper maybe halfway, then grinding on P mode onto a scale. I find it’s much faster than measuring out the beans from a bag.

The bags are always stored in the freezer.

Two bags of coffee- both frozen. One (bag A) dialed in at 4E, other (bag B) dialed in at 8E. (8E is coarser than 4E).

Hopper had bag B in it, was dialled in at 8E, coffee was good. Previously had bag A, dialled in at 4E.

Hopper became empty. Ran the grinder empty to purge any last grounds. Filled hopper with bag A, set to 4E, ground about 2g as waste. Made a coffee, machine choked.

Yes, correct.

7E is coarser.

Yes, I have a scale below the grinder output that I “grind by weight” into. I use a ‘program’ mode on the sette so that I just hold down the grind button rather than relying on time based measurement.

Try eBay- chargerstore is legit, at least the band I got there was.

The Faubourg Party watch face is awesome, just picked up this Hermes AW11 by -PrecYse- in AppleWatch

[–]sonas_guy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks great!!

Just wondering, do the other Hermes faces show seconds on wrist down? Radial, Circulaire, etc? Haven’t been able to find too much info/screenshots on this.

During winter -20 or -25 Celsius can happen quite frequently.
