Baratza Encore Electric Burr Coffee Grinder

Product Information

If you don’t use a digital scale for your brews, and mostly buy coffee from the supermarket, the Encore will definitely suit your needs Messy: It makes a bit of a mess when the grounds bin is removed because of static electricity building up. The main idea behind the design is that the wing nut will slow down the feeding of beans to avoid stalling the motor. This makes sense if you’re runnning the device with a huge hopper full of beans. But most people reading this in 2022 are probably using the Encore for single-dosing. So if that’s your workflow, then just try and unscrew the wing nut.

We had come far enough in the testing that I asked Reyna if we had a true all-rounder, a grinder that could do everything from espresso fine-grind to French-press coarse.
