Based on the
Baratza webpage for the Sette 270, the target price is USD 379.
Based on a number of websites the Eureka Mignon price is around USD 450 to USD 490 .
We know that the local price for the Mignon is around RM1900.
How can the Sette be more expensive? I would have hoped it would be at max the same.
Agree with below from tishaban on one of the point..... If you get US item it will be cheaper..... i brought grinder that using 110V and i can say it is cheap here few hundred ringgit but of your getting Europe or UK or anytime which runs on 240v ..... it will be expensive....

Maybe there's some level of capitalism/greed in there but don't forget that some European electrical goods are more expensive in the US than Europe.
In the UK the Sette is 318GBP vs. the Mignon at 280GBP
In short if you want a European item, import it from UK/Europe. If you want an item made in the US, import it from the US but live with 110v.
