Baratza Sette 270Wi vs DF Grinders DF64 Gen 2
Technical comparison · Espresso grinders
Choosing between the Sette 270Wi and the DF64 Gen 2 means picking between two ways of feeding the grinder: a full hopper with stepped adjustment on one side, a weighed single dose with stepless adjustment on the other. What matters most is whether you grind shot after shot without refilling, or weigh each dose to also brew with other methods.

The differences that matter
- 50 g hopper vs 300 g hopper → the DF64 Gen 2 means weighing and loading each dose, the Sette 270Wi grinds several shots without refilling.
- Stepless adjustment vs 31 steps → the DF64 Gen 2 allows fine-tuning between the Sette's click positions.
- Supported methods: Sette 270Wi covers espresso and pour-over, DF64 Gen 2 adds French press.
- 64 mm flat burrs vs 40 mm conical burrs → different grind curves, not just more capacity.
Which one to choose
Choose Sette 270Wi if…
The Sette 270Wi suits someone pulling several shots a day straight from a 300 g hopper, without weighing beans each time. Its 31-step adjustment is fine for locking in one recipe and staying there; anyone who wants finer increments between clicks has to work within that granularity, and the grinder stays focused on espresso and pour-over.
Choose DF64 Gen 2 if…
The DF64 Gen 2 works single-dose, with a 50 g hopper built for weighing beans before each grind and switching origins often without leftover retention. Stepless adjustment lets you dial in between the Sette's clicks, and the flat burrs also cover French press alongside espresso and pour-over. In exchange, every session means loading and weighing a dose instead of drawing from a full hopper.
