The Baratza home coffee grinder range has become known as some of the best home coffee grinders for their price, and are perfect for those looking for a small coffee grinder. They have also become popular as affordable manual brew filter coffee grinders for cafes getting into different brew methods such as filter coffee and cold-brew.
A common question we get asked is "How much does a quality coffee grinder cost?" and the answer is it really does vary, depending on application and type of coffee. The Baratza range starts with the Ecore which a low $200 price point.
Baratza Encore has become popular among the filter coffee scene, with 40 individual grind settings, you can find the perfect grind size for all brewing methods from Aeropress to cold brew and filter. It is also commonly paired up with Moccamasters for filter coffee.
The Baratza Sette increases the range to allow for both espresso and filter coffee grinding, and their design allows for super low coffee retention, which in a home or office coffee scene is important due to the infrequent nature of coffee being ground.
As the Sette design has low retention, you get freshly ground coffee on every grind, even if there was some time lapsed from the previous coffee. The Sette has 30 macro steps of grind adjustment plus 9 marked settings of step-less small-adjustment for easy responsive grind setting changes.
The range-topping Baratza Sette 270wi home grinder offers grind-by-weight functionality directly into your portafilter or grounds bin, a first of its kind. Dosage is calculated using Acaia weighing technology and is controlled automatically. These Bartazas have generally paired us with home espresso machines.
So the next question becomes "What is the best coffee grinder for home use?" and it goes back to brew methods and budget. For manual brews such as Aeropress, Filter Coffee, and Cold Brew the Encore is enough. For espresso we would recommend the Sette, and if budget allows the Sette 270wi.
All in all, we are all searching for that perfect cup of coffee, and the Baratza range helps coffee lovers get there at an affordable price point.
