The differences that matter
- Burrs: conical 40 mm on Sette 270, flat 64 mm on William → two different designs, not one a larger version of the other.
- Adjustment: 31 stops against micrometric → repeatable, writable positions on one side, any small correction but no fixed reference on the other.
- Weight: 3.2 kg against 6.6 kg → Sette 270 can be stowed between uses, William stays on the counter.
- Hopper: 300 g against 350 g → a few more doses before refilling.
Which one to choose
Choose Sette 270 if…
Sette 270 suits a kitchen where the grinder gets moved around: it weighs 3.2 kg against 6.6. The 31 stops let you note one position per blend and return to it. The trade-off is that nothing sits between two stops, and the hopper holds 300 g.
Choose William if…
William suits someone who changes beans often and wants to nudge the grind by a hair from one shot to the next, since the micrometric dial has no stops. The trade-off is 6.6 kg that stays wherever you put it, and no stop to return to, so the right setting has to be noted by hand. The hopper holds 350 g.
