I would like to know how to slow down the motor, I don't need to grind so fast. Please post it here if they get back to you.

Well if i don't find out from Baratza I am going to pop back into my local coffee shop and ask him to explain it because he said he has actually done it to his.

I'm a little surprised someone hasn't put a controller on it already.

Had this same problem on a 2 week old Sette 270 that was working brilliantly then on a second morning coffee LCD display worked, timer counted down but motor was dead.

Service was brilliant. A courier was sent to pick it up and it was repaired and returned in 4 business days. Packing slip indicated the part replaced was the gear assembly stock code BAR-S057. Out of curiosity I Googled the part details which lead me to a exploded view parts list. BAR-S057 is the complete motor and gear assembly item # SA3. Interestingly in the accompanying parts list it is flagged with a double asterisk indicating its a "Frequently needed service part."

...merged "Baratza Sette 270 stopped grinding??" with thread on same subject by moderator...

I had my motor/gear/ring burr assembly replaced several months ago, and it's been going strong since.

We're seeing talk on this thread about making changes to the speed of the motor in the Sette. I'd like to provide some clarity around that.

There is no way to modify the speed of grinding on this machine.

Grinding at different adjustment settings will affect throughput (finer grinding is slower than coarser grinding) but the motor cannot be specifically tuned in any direction. The software change mentioned here, we suspect, is actually the offset, which is the programmable amount by which the grinder will intentionally shut off early. This is specific to the 270W: when the load cell reads the target dose minus the offset, it will disengage the motor in the expectation that the coffee currently being ground will fall into the bin or portafilter and complete the dose.

Thanks for the reply.

When was it fixed? I got mine Dec. 2016. It's been absolutely fine these past 6 months, but reading this thread has given me a little cause for concern!

There is no official answer for that. If your serial number is 160xxx you have a much higher chance of failure.

I bought a refurbished Baratza Sette 270w from coffeehit, if came with a 1 year warranty. I had read a lot of good praise regarding this grinder but i was also aware if was a bit temperamental for some folks until it eventually settled down. I really wanted a weight based grinder so i decided to buy it.

I got the chance to run my first beans through it today. I adjusted the PF holder and hook to suit my Sage 53mm PF. I set the grind to 9 & E on the dials, i then run off my first doze of 18g, on my separate scales it read 18.4, i then adjusted the offset from 0.7 to 1.1 to allow for the 0.4 difference. The next doze stopped early at about 10g and then another which was nowhere near the 18g, i switched it on and off, played around with it, checked the feet are in place and it is sitting on a flat kitchen worktop. After switching it on and off it was still dozing way off, i then started to get a E02 error and even though i switch it on and off i cant get the error to go away. Any suggestion guys. I know folk were getting replacement feet to help with accuracy but surely that wont help with the E02 error and it being up to 8g out when dozing.
