Instead of thin plastic parts and unnecessary electronic gadgetry, the Technivorm KBG-741 is built solidly and simply, featuring an on/off switch and a heat plate switch. This coffee maker brews a full 40oz pot of coffee in six minutes. The coffee is then held on a unique hot plate which is designed to roll the heat into the coffee. The heat plate also has two settings: a lower setting that keeps the coffee reasonably hot, and a higher setting for those that demand their coffee scalding (you know you do). It also features an automatic drip-stop brew-basket that stops the flow of coffee if the carafe is pulled away.  The Moccamaster was built to deliver water more evenly, and brew at the proper temperature and rate to ensure a fantastic cup. The cult following that this little coffee maker has developed speaks volumes for its build quality and the coffee it makes. We've tested the other, more cheaply built machines out there, and they generally make bitter, flat coffee. The KBG will brew your coffee the way it should be brewed, producing a clean, nuanced, and flavorful cup of coffee. All Moccamaster Coffee Brewers are handmade in the Netherlands and backed by an industry-leading 5-year warranty.

What is it? The Baratza Sette 270 is a dedicated home espresso grinder with 40mm conical steel burrs. This burr grinder uses a digital timed dosing system and a combination stepped and stepless grind adjustment system. Who is it for? For the home barista who wants a grinder designed for a home barista. Something that fits your space and your budget without sacrificing where it counts: quality, ease of use, and reliability. You want the ability to get repeatable shots from your favorite blend and then mix it up by single dosing a few different single origin coffees in a row, all with minimal waste and delicious shots of espresso. Why do we carry it? The Sette 270 is the best single dosing espresso grinder we’ve ever used, full stop. It’s also the easiest to clean. It’s designed for home baristas first, not adapted from a commercial design, which is why it has so many features we treasure. It works perfectly well with a full hopper, providing consistent doses using its timed dose system, but it truly shines when used for single dosing. Over a one month period, we used the Baratza Sette 270 to single dose with 11 different coffees and got perfect shots with only occasional micro-adjustments. Whatever your home espresso needs may be, the Sette 270 burr grinder will help you pull consistent and brilliant espresso shots that are as good in a cappuccino as they are straight.

What is it? The Baratza Sette 30 is a dedicated home espresso grinder with 40mm conical steel burrs. This burr grinder uses a digital timed dosing system, stepped adjustment, and comes with a grounds bin. Who is it for? For the aspiring home barista who wants a grinder with a great set of burrs at the lowest price. You only plan to pull a few shots a day, so you’ll want something can single dose and be cleaned with ease. Space is a priority. You don’t want bells and whistles and you don’t mind having to alter your dose to dial in your shots, so long as it means staying in budget! Why do we carry it? The Sette 30 has its quirks, but it offers the same burr set as the Sette 270 (which we love) at an even more affordable price for those just dipping their toes in the home espresso game. Along with the great conical burr set, it also carries over the Sette’s fantastic single dosing proficiency and it just as easy to clean. Two twists and the entire burr assembly is accessible. Now for the quirks. As the name indicates, the Sette 30 only has thirty grind settings. We’ve found that when trying to dial in our shots we’ve had to play with our dose at times to get between those stepped settings. The Sette 30 also has a few more plastic parts than the Sette 270. All in all, though, the Sette 30 retains most of what we love about it’s bigger brother and makes home espresso even more accessible. That last bit makes it a win in our books.
