With the caveat that I am not a sound engineer, and the app I downloaded to my phone is NOT CALIBRATED (Sound Analyzer), this morning I laid my phone adjance to my Sette 270W (parallel to the grinder, the bottom of the phone aligned with the front of the grinder) I got this:



I have the grinder set to 15g, I think I got 15.1 on this run.

I have a rotary pump that fills the boiler in my Quickmill Achilles, so I did not take that as a comparison (but perhaps I should).

When I have more time, I will set up my old Mahlkonig Pro-M, but so few people used that it will be of no use to most of you.

But it is loud. I am just trying to introduce some data. (How loud is it???)

HI Javier,
We are continually working to improve our products and as such the noise reduction is a culmination of about 4 minor tweaks. The latest of the 4 tweaks was completed and in production units as of February 2018. Since we have been scrambling to keep up with demand, we ship everything we have to our re-sellers as soon as it arrives in our warehouse. All of our resellers have had these improved units since late March 2018. The bead-blasted burrs were in production units since late November 2017.
Regards,
Kyle

fwit, I put a new gearhouse in mine and it has been nitceably quieter. Grind quality is ok, but nowhere near my compak. The sette wins in retention, that's about it.

I find that the new Sette 270 Wi is much quieter than the Sette 270. I also find the grind quality excellent and the retention is minimal/not worth worrying about. What I love about it that I am able to single dose on the daily basis and use the hopper when the company comes over, with equally good results. I also had an opportunity to use Mazzer Mini type A and a Mazzer super jolly and both had a lot of clumping...quite surprising. For the money, I love my Sette.
