Baratza is a highly respected manufacturer of top burr coffee grinders, and this is a well-made grinder. However, an affordable all-purpose grinder inevitably requires some sacrifices – in this case, plastic rather than metal in the build. The outer case, bean hopper, grounds catch bin, and dosing cup are all plastic. Notably, the Encore ESP has a metal adjustment collar, while it’s plastic on the Encore original. Baratza is an American grinder company founded 1999. The company both makes grinders for professionals as well as home-users. You may find it difficult using the Encore if you use coffee beans that are larger than average. Bigger beans don’t feed through the hopper as well as regular-sized beans, which could result in some loose beans left over. Build Quality In terms of appearance, in 2020, Baratza released an assortment of accents and single-dose hoppers that add to the look. Yet, the single-dose hopper isn’t only an aesthetic upgrade. This add-on improves the Encore’s performance for regular home use because that usually goes below 40 grams per grind. Messy: It makes a bit of a mess when the grounds bin is removed because of static electricity building up.

FAQs

The Encore ESP utilizes a simple and efficient direct drive gear reduction transmission to move power from the DC motor to the rotating cone burr. A thermal overload cutout protects the motor from overheating due to excessive use. GROUNDS LEFT IN GRINDER Baratza designed the motor to grind slowly to prevent the burrs from getting too hot. It’s a clever decision because hot burrs harm coffee taste and aroma. Additionally, it makes the Encore less noisy than it could be. The Encore offers manual controls that should suffice if you don’t need to time your grind. It works well for average home volumes as grind consistency doesn’t quite match the Virtuoso’s output.
