Hi Bas,

Thanks for your email. I understand you have put a lot of time into figuring this out so far. I want to outline the limits of the Sette so you know what to expect.

The Sette is an amazing espresso grinder and much like a great shop espresso grinder, most folks aren't going to be using those for other brew methods. At Baratza, we want users to be able to use our machines for multiple brew methods. So we did some testing and established what you can accomplish with the Sette grinders.

You will be able to brew a one cup V60 with the AP burr. If you aren't able to now, I suspect that too much agitation is the culprit and if you are moving the water stream while pouring or pouring very fast and with a thick stream, changing up this approach will get you the results you want. I realize this bucks the current trend, but it will get you the cup you want so it's worth changing assuming this is what's happening here.

When doing a pot of coffee, in a chemex or drip machine you may run into much too slow flow through and that would be the limit of the Sette. The slow center pour will help but may not resolve large brew batches.

The BG burr improves the flavor of drip coffee but doesn't increase the flow rate or change the amount of fines. Your brew times will still be longer but the brewed cup will taste more balanced in the end. Those fines you see are what make this grinder so great for espresso. With minimal agitation they will be remain evenly distributed during the brewing process and not cause a plug like you mention.

We are working a new true Coarse burr. It is still very early and I can't promise it will be released or when. It would hopefully achieve a more traditional particle distribution for french press and deep brew bed drip. But we aim to hit this mark if possible with the Sette series.

best,

Het is dat hij wat cheap oogt en niet de stilste is, anders zou dit zonder meer mijn primaire maler worden. Als ik eerlijk ben moet ik wel toegeven dat de Sette op smaak probleemloos mijn Kinu M68 evenaart. Soms denk ik zelfs dat ik hem beter vind in dat opzicht. Ik hoop maar dat dat een illusie is.
