Don't wait! Buy the Sette 30 and then order the Sette 270 Adjustment Assembly for $90. No tools needed. This gives the grinder the exact same stepless espresso grinding of the 270

This is patently false. Make drip coffee with a blade grinder, and make drip coffee with a Forte. You will notice a difference. Blade grinders will generate a large amount amount of "fines", leading to over extraction (bitterness) and channeling in the brew bed. This is not an opinion.

Any brew method will benefit from a high quality grinder.

All this being said, if you're drinking cheap grocery store coffee, do whatever you want.
To each their own, but the opinion that a nice grinder is only needed for espresso is a real head-scratcher.

Also, the encore is not an espresso grinder, though it may work for pressurized portafilter machines.

I bought the encore refurbished on a previous deal, works great and worth the price if you're making espressos. For regular drip coffee just get a cheap grind like Cuisinart.

Also, the encore is not an espresso grinder, though it may work for pressurized portafilter machines.

That will be more expensive then 270. I did order refurbished 30, but returned it after reviews.

A burr grinder is needed for espresso and other coffees that need a very specific physical grind size for the brewing apparatus to operate correctly, just not DRIP coffee. Blade grinders work just as well for DRIP coffee.

This is patently false. Make drip coffee with a blade grinder, and make drip coffee with a Forte. You will notice a difference. Blade grinders will generate a large amount amount of "fines", leading to over extraction (bitterness) and channeling in the brew bed. This is not an opinion.

"Make drip coffee with a blade grinder, and make drip coffee with a Forte. You will notice a difference."

That's what America Test Kitchen did. Over and over and over... and even coffee shop owners couldn't pick which was which.

I did my own test of a hario manual burr grinder vs cheap blade grinder many years ago and, like those testers, I couldn't tell the difference either.
