Pros and cons

From each full review, written from the same published facts as the scores above.

Baratza Sette 270Wi

+A built-in scale at 0.1g resolution, which doses by weight rather than by time. Nothing else here does that
+270 settings on 40mm conical burrs at 650rpm and 200W
+Ships with a shut-off hopper, grounds bin and grind-range shims
+One-year warranty, made in Taiwan

−$599.95, the second most expensive grinder here after the Niche Zero, and four times the $149.95 median
−One year of cover on a $600 machine
−No timer, because it doses by weight, which is a different workflow if you are used to one

DF64 Gen 2 Single Dose Coffee Grinder

+Published retention under 0.1g even without the bellow, which is the lowest figure any grinder here states
+A plasma ioniser in the exit chute to kill static, and an anti-popcorn disc that also speeds up grinding
+Stepless adjustment on a chrome dial with a metal indicator
+Designed around single dosing rather than offering it as an option, with a 58mm dosing cup included

−No price is published for it here
−No warranty term is published
−A 50g hopper with the bellow fitted, so it is a one-dose-at-a-time machine by design
