But this change on the Sette 270 actually puts it very close to the Niche Zero in terms of grinds retention, so it's a big deal. In fact, when I've taken a couple of these apart to inspect the burrs, I've noted that the only real sharp surface is the heads of the screws that keep the burrs in place. Clean it as many times as you want, especially if you plan on using it all the time. Most buyers have said they didn’t need to clean it often, which I like the idea of. The material lets you wipe away any old coffee residue pretty easily. Pros I've heard that there is a bit of popcorning with this grinder, and I'm not sure if this is an out of date opinion and they've updated the grinder since then, but this is one of the potential slight pitfalls of taking the hopper off a grinder, putting bellows on there and calling it a single doser. As Niche discovered with their first version, popcorning occurs simply because the last few beans have no beans above them to feed them into the burrs, so they tend to bounce around a bit.
The machine has a ground coffee container that can hold up to 12 cups. This means that you can grind enough coffee for a large group of people without having to stop and empty the container. The container is also removable, making it easy to clean. Removable Burr The Sette 270 is definitely a grinder I think you should have on your shortlist if you're looking at the entry to mid price range and if you're looking for a grinder for espresso and/or pourover, and if you've read negatives about this grinder or if you have a negative impression of it for some reason, I'd highly recommend reading below about the changes Baratza have made to this grinder. Features: Keep in mind, though, that if you're looking for a grinder for espresso, most of the budget burr grinders in this category are fine for dual walled baskets, but aren't compatible with traditional baskets, as they won't quite go fine enough and the grind adjustments aren't small enough for the fine tuning you'll need to do when dialing in with traditional non-pressured baskets. The MD15 from Gaggia is a conical burr grinder that Gaggia launched specifically for their lower-end espresso machines, the Gran Gaggia, Carezza, and Viva, and for the Gaggia Classic Pro with the pressurized baskets (the Classic Pro comes with both standard and dual walled pressurized baskets. See the note about shims below, though, for traditional baskets. If you do these two modifications, then I think you have a very cheap budget grinder for espresso via standard or pressurised baskets, although you'll still only have 16 fairly big adjustments, so it wouldn't be perfect. DeLonghi KG9 Grinder Review – ConclusionFor most brew methods, from Aeropress, through filter to cafetiere, I think the DeLonghi KG79 is fine. As I said in the nutshell description, if you spend more you'll get more, but for this kind of price I don't think you'll get a great deal better from an electric burr grinder. But because this now comes with the spacers (if you buy your grinder from Gaggia Direct), and it's so easy to fit them, I think it's fair to call this an espresso-capable grinder, although it's still not ideal, because the grinding steps are a bit on the large side. I really wouldn't put too much attention on grinding speed when we're talking about budget coffee grinders, but I will discuss it here as it's a factor I know people take into account. Got company? Wow them with a tasty brewed coffee. The different grind settings on the DeLonghi Coffee Grinder let you find a blend to suit everyone’s taste. You can place 120g of coffee beans in the machine, and make up to twelve cups. Just select how many cups you want to make, and the device will grind the right amount automatically.
When you're dialing in for espresso, you really need the ability to be able to fine tune – this is why grinders that are made specifically as espresso grinders usually have stepless adjustment, allowing you to make very fine adjustments to the grind. This is among the cheapest burr coffee grinders you'll find, and it's one of the best selling low cost burr grinders in the UK, and has been for some time.

If you're willing to pay the price mainly for the DeLonghi brand name and to have a grinder that matches the looks of your espresso machine, then that's fine, but if you're just shopping based on performance and durability, personally I'd recommend the Wilfa Svart, or the Gaggia MD15 if you're considering switching over to traditional baskets. This isn't a quiet grinder, but nor are the other similarly priced grinders I've tried, to be fair. It's interesting that they refer to “grinding wheels” and not “burrs”, this is probably a more honest description of what these grinders are, grinding wheel grinders vs burr grinders. I'm going to start off with a review in a nutshell, for anyone who just wants to know the main pros and cons of this machine so they can decide whether to buy it without reading all of my waffle.
It's important to point out though, that grinders that don't have some kind of failsafe will strip gears or cause other damage when they encounter something too hard for that grinder to cope with. I've used all three of the grinders in this section, and I think they're all a much of a muchness to be honest, especially where particle uniformity is concerned, and none of them are brilliant in this regard, you do get quite a lot of fines, and larger chunks of ground coffee (boulders) as I'd expect from such a cheap grinder with these dull burrs. The De'Longhi KG79 coffee grinder, also known as the De'Longhi KG79 Professional burr grinder, which I find slightly annoying (which I'll talk more about shortly) is a budget electric coffee grinder, which I've spoken about before in my best budget coffee grinders post. You need burrs to grind coffee beans. Blades smash, cut & obliterate coffee beans into various sized particles, which means bad coffee. Any grinder that is intended to be used for espresso and/or for brew methods really needs the ability to make macro and micro adjustments, and I'm surprised, if I'm honest, that all of the other grinder brands haven't followed suit here, as it just makes sense.I've spoken about the DeLonghi coffee grinder in various other posts and YouTube videos, so I thought it was about time I actually created a De'Longhi KG79 review. De'Longhi KG79 Burr Grinder Everyone can get their caffeine fix without waiting. Your friends and family will think you’re an expert coffee maker when really, it’s just a straightforward machine! Quiet and Long-Lasting Grind Wheels In case you're not familiar with retention, grinds retention, or more specifically what's known as “exchanged retention”, refers to the coffee that ends up in your basket, or your brewer, or whatever, the next time you use the grinder. What this means is that if we don't want to use some stale coffee when we brew for the first time of the day, we need to purge some coffee to ditch that exchanged retention, and we also have to purge each time we adjust the grind, or we'll be using a mix of grind sizes.
If you're wanting a grinder to use with an espresso machine with standard baskets, the KG79 will only work if you mod it, which means take it apart and move the burrs closer together, essentially. Read the more detailed review section below for modding instructions.OK so that's the “in a nutshell” review. It's not the best, but it's among the best you're going to get from an electric burr grinder at this price. I'd have to switch the grinder on and off multiple times before it would continue grinding for more than a second. It’s compact and can go pretty much anywhere with you. Its small size means you could even take it to work. It can sit on your desk or in your staff kitchen. Your colleagues will be jealous! Different Grind and Cup Settings
