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.

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.
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.

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.

That's what America Test Kitchen did. Over and over and over... and even coffee shop owners couldn't pick which was which.
The coffee industry was 144 billion last year, and people have been studying it for over 750 years. To think America's Test kitchen figured it all out after doing one informal test by people who have thought about coffee long enough to make an episode.

Ahh...so you must study coffee for 750 years to be able to taste the obvious difference between burr ground and blade ground DRIP coffee?! Lol.
You obviously didn't watch the video ššš
It's so funny to watch the coffee geeks grasp at straws.
"Oh, they didn't use the right beans". Oh, they didn't use the right water".
Oh, they didn't study the 750 year history of coffee".

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.
