The differences that matter
- 31 steps → stepless: on the Libra you can settle on the exact point; on the Sette you pick between fixed positions
- Espresso and pour over → espresso only: with the Libra, filter coffee means a second grinder
- 3.2 kg and 25 cm deep → 6.5 kg and 19.3 cm deep: the Sette is easy to move, the Libra takes less counter depth
Which one to choose
Choose Sette 270Wi if…
One grinder on the counter for weekday espresso and a pour over at the weekend: the Sette covers both, the Libra covers espresso only. At 3.2 kg against 6.5 kg it is easy to move around. The trade-off is that adjustment goes in steps, 31 in all, so the grind cannot be set between two positions.
Choose Mignon Libra if…
Almost all espresso, with a grinder you can nudge continuously whenever you change beans: stepless adjustment has no fixed positions, and the flat burrs are 55 mm against the Sette's 40 mm conical. It takes less depth on the counter (19.3 cm against 25), but it weighs 6.5 kg and lists espresso as its only method, so filter coffee needs another grinder.
