Burrs: Manufactured in Europe, the Encore’s 40 mm conical burrs will grind for many styles of coffee. Conical burrs grinders are exceptional at producing consistent grinds from very fine to very coarse as well as being durable and will remain sharp for many years. Gearbox: In 2012, Baratza introduced the second generation Gearbox (GB 2.0). With GB 2.0, Baratza has significantly increased the strength and durability of the drive transmission while decreasing noise. Grind Adjustment: Turn the hopper and with 40 settings you can quickly adjust from fine for espresso to coarse for French Press. The grind range is from 250 to 1200 microns. Grinds Left in Grinder: To maximize freshness, the Encore minimizes the ground coffee left in the grinder. Brewing Methods: The Encore is a great grinder for manual brewing and espresso. Motor: A powerful, high torque DC motor effortlessly drives the burrs. This motor turns slowly resulting in cool, quiet operation and permits long grinding duty-cycles. The circuitry is equipped with an automatically resetting, thermal cutoff switch. Calibration: An innovative burr calibration system ensures that each grinder has the full range of grind. If necessary, the grinders can be user calibrated. Speed Control: With unique speed control, the Encore uses a combination of gear and electronic speed reduction to control the rotation of the burr to 450 RPM. The electronic speed controller is adjustable from 405 to 495 RPM in the event that specific user conditions require modification of the speed. This slow speed reduces heat, noise, and static generation in the grinder.

Worth it! Baratza’s entry level espresso grinder is leaps and bounds better than other brands’ top of the line! I tried two Breville grinders in this last week. Both became impacted quickly, requiring full disassembly and cleaning over and over again. Basically, even though they come with portafilter attachments and espresso range particle size selection, the machine wouldn’t work if selecting a particle size any finer than 10. Not the case with Baratza! This thing grinds FAST and effortlessly. It’s so…

Louder than older model, but now I understand. We have an older model (Solis Maestro) that was replaced with the Encore. The Encore is much louder than the Maestro. Puzzled why this is so? I then e-mailed Baratza (mgfr) and they expected this – a better motor and better grind ability. Here is there response:”Indeed the Encore is a bit noisier than the Solis models. It uses a more powerful DC motor to provide immediate torque on powering up. This results in faster grind operation as well as more consistent coffee particles thanks…

Yes, it is worth the money I’m a daily coffee drinker and have been using this product for over a year now. It is just as efficient and effective as it was the day I bought it. I am glad I invested in this item! I first saw it recommended during a local coffee roaster tour (The Roasterie in Kansas City; you should go!) and have been wondering whether it was worth the money since then. A year later, I can confirm — totally worth it.
