Baratza Sette 30 vs DF Grinders DF64 Gen 2
Technical comparison · Espresso grinders
Anyone shopping for an advanced benchtop espresso grinder is really choosing between two workflows: the Sette 30's stepped hopper feed or the DF64 Gen 2's weighed single-dose loading with stepless adjustment. What matters here is how the dose gets into the cup, not which grinder ranks higher.

The differences that matter
- Burr diameter: 40 mm on the Sette 30, 64 mm on the DF64 Gen 2 → larger burrs work each bean less per revolution, useful at higher volumes.
- Adjustment: 31 fixed steps on the Sette 30, stepless micrometric on the DF64 Gen 2 → finer dialing-in on the DF64, more repeatable by memory on the Sette 30.
- Hopper: 300 g on the Sette 30, 50 g single-dose on the DF64 Gen 2 → grind from a full hopper without weighing, or weigh beans before each dose.
- Brew methods: the Sette 30 covers espresso and pour-over, the DF64 Gen 2 adds French press.
Which one to choose
Choose Sette 30 if…
Pick the Sette 30 if you grind several shots back to back from a 300 g hopper, changing grind size with one of 31 fixed steps instead of a continuous dial. The conical burrs stay at 40 mm and coverage stops at espresso and pour-over, with no French press.
Choose DF64 Gen 2 if…
Pick the DF64 Gen 2 if you'd rather weigh beans before every dose: the 50 g hopper is built for single dosing and grind size is set on a stepless micrometric collar over 64 mm flat burrs. In exchange for weighing beans each time, you also get French press among the supported methods.
