Thank you so much for this video. You mentioned the "shim" and it solved a mystery and problem since I purchased my unit. 😬
I didn't know about the "shim". 🤦🏽‍♂️

[@StevenMakesVids]

Haha I had no idea what a shim was at first either! Glad I could help.

Is there a reason you don’t soak or wash the parts that have caked on grinds?

[@StevenMakesVids]

you could, but I would be weary of the oxidation of parts if not cared for properly. There is also the idea that you can "season" a grinder like a cast iron.

[@str8shooter160]

@@StevenMakesVids interesting concept around seasoning, I haven’t heard that before. So that would be a reason to not soak or wash the parts.

Excellent video, very clear. I had never deep cleaned my Sette 270 since buying it other than a bit of wiping and knocking on it to get coffee out and I've had it for a few years. You should have seen what came out. I did have a 0.3mm shim I bought from Baratza that I installed during the clean. Is yours the same thickness? The video seems to make it look a bit thicker than mine, but I may just be imagining that.

[@rhammond174]

After installing the 0.3mm shim, it shifted my values by 5. I used to grind at around a value of 5 for a 1:2 brew ratio, after the shim I have to use around 10.

Thanks for the clear and easily understood instructional video. Awesome job!*****. What setting is best to use on my sette 270 for expresso non-oily whole beans. I use medium roast beans, some dark roast, but most all are dry, not oily like Starbucks. Not trying to be critical, just used only as an example of oily beans.

[@StevenMakesVids]

The key to getting the best setting for your beans is learning how to dial in your shots. Each bean has a different setting that's needed to get a good shot from it 👌

I have a question, is it normal that after cleaning the grind gets a little coarser and you have to adjust the micro to finer?

[@StevenMakesVids]

Yes, the reside from oils and old coffee effects the level of grind. When. You clean that gunk off then your grind settings will change a bit
