The differences that matter
- Burrs: conical 40 mm on Sette 30, flat 64 mm on William → two different designs, not one a larger version of the other.
- Adjustment: 31 stops against micrometric → repeatable positions on one side, minimal corrections with no fixed reference on the other.
- Weight: 3.2 kg against 6.6 kg → Sette 30 can be put away after use, William stays out on the counter.
- Hopper: 300 g against 350 g → a few more doses before refilling.
Which one to choose
Choose Sette 30 if…
Sette 30 is for one espresso a day from the same blend: note the right stop and find it again every morning. It also lists pour over among its methods, for the weekend. The trade-off is no position between two stops and a 300 g hopper. At 3.2 kg it moves easily.
Choose William if…
William is for anyone who changes coffee often and wants to refine the grind by a hair between one extraction and the next. The trade-off is 6.6 kg that stays on the counter, and no stop to return to, so the right setting has to be noted by hand. The hopper holds 350 g.
