Sette 270 Espresso Grinder vs Smart Grinder Pro: which fits your counter

Sette 270 Espresso Grinder is 5.1 in (13 cm) wide, 9.8 in (25 cm) deep and 16.1 in (41 cm) tall (baratza.com, 6 September 2026). Smart Grinder Pro is 6.3 in (16 cm) wide, 8.5 in (21.5 cm) deep (breville.com, 23 September 2026) and 15.3 in (38.9 cm) tall (breville.com, 6 September 2026). Depth separates them by more than anything else, 1.4 in (3.5 cm). With 9.8 in (25 cm) of depth or more, both fit; between 8.5 in (21.5 cm) and 9.8 in (25 cm) only the Smart Grinder Pro clears; below 8.5 in (21.5 cm) neither does. Every figure behind this is a manufacturer's published dimension, and nobody has put a tape on one.

Your counter decides it.

If the counter is tight: the Smart Grinder Pro. If you have the depth: the Sette 270 Espresso.

Between 8.5 in (21.5 cm) and 9.8 in (25 cm) only the Smart Grinder Pro (BCG820) clears. At 9.8 in (25 cm) or more the depth decides nothing, and under 8.5 in (21.5 cm) neither of them fits. (manufacturer)

We are not picking one. Your counter picks it, and yours is the measurement missing from this page.
