Hello there,
Thank you for leaving a review for our Baratza S1 Burr Assembly Replacement. Please feel free to reach out to our customer service team for further assistance. We will do our best to help you resolve the issue. Thank you for choosing FrenchPressCoffee.com.
The plastic holder was damaged in transit. Locally my current one seems fine. All I really wanted was a replacement burr anyway, so I'm a happy camper.
Thank you for your feedback! We're sorry to hear that the holder was damaged in transit. Please contact us for replacement.
If you love the Sette, get this, it will do the job.
I know there is a ton of hype behind the Sette and it is a good price plus it grinds fast. But you do always get what you pay for. However the machine needs shims to be able to grind fine enough for espresso. It comes with 1 maybe 2 now, I have 3 installed. The dial sleeve has a ton of settings, however it slides down 4-5 grind sizes so drip coffee grinds it is unless you want to manually hold it in place. The newest band aid is a felt pad you can buy to make the dial stop sliding. Thing about that, you choose a grind setting of 5, by the time its done it slid to 10 and to fix this you buys a piece of felt and slap that in to try and stop it. Spoiler alert, it doesn’t stop it.
Anyway, this review is for the burr replacement. It’;s fine, It’s what it is supposed to be and it breaks coffee grinds. To what size and for what use? No idea. Also this is in no way a reflection on French Press Coffee as they are awesome ship quickly and I’d do business with them annytime.
I was going to return everything I bought to try and make the Sette usable, but it did not feel right to penalize FPC for the lackluster design of Baratza. Also, in fairness, Baratza service is amazing. Easy to deal with, however some of your emails may never be responded to, but if they do, they will cover parts even if you’re out of warranty and feel good installing yourself. Lastly, no, I am not one of those people who never leaves reviews unless I want to complain. My recommendation is buy a Baratza, buy from French Press Coffee, I’m buying a new grinder… But the Sette? I drank the Koolaid everyone was serving and I’m done.
Thank you for writing this review!
