Stepless grind size adjustment provides fine control over particle size, making the Sette 30 AP suitable for users who require repeatable dosing and a wide grind range for multiple preparation methods.

Advantages

The grinder combines a compact machine profile with a fast, efficient grinding mechanism and reliable dose control. It features a convertible dosing system that supports both timed grinding and hands-free dosing into a portafilter or grounds container.

How to use

Place the grinder on a stable, level surface and ensure it is connected to a suitable power outlet. Select the desired grind size using the stepless adjustment and lock the portafilter into the front-mounted holder if dosing directly into a portafilter. Set the timed dose control according to the required weight or volume for your recipe. Start the grinder and monitor the grind; adjust the setting incrementally if the extraction requires finer or coarser particles. Clean grounds from the chute and portafilter cradle after use to maintain consistent performance.

Usage recommendations

For espresso, start with a finer setting and adjust in small steps while observing puck quality and extraction time. For manual brewing, move to coarser settings and test with the chosen method. Regularly purge and brush burrs to prevent stale grounds buildup and recalibrate dosing time when changing coffee beans or roast levels.
