Baratza Encore ESP Coffee Grinder Black

  Love it!

  Great grinder so far, no problems. I grind for Moka, Aeropress and French Press and this works well. The small cup can hold just over 30g of ground coffee, the large bucket holds much more. Wish Goodguys would stock the white machine also.

  An Upgrade!

  I replaced my Sunbeam cafe series grinder and looked around for a replacement. If I had of replaced it with the same machine I would have been sorely disappointed. I wish I came across Baratza years ago. Works well and now I don’t need ear muffs!

  Simply a good grinder

  Easy to use and change settings for different coffee preparation methods. Used mainly for espresso, grinding one cup at a time and occasional pour over.Hopper is a little large for this style of use, but the grinder works very well. Changing grind settings is very straightforward and reproducible.

  Excellent grinder

  Got this to replace second defunct Sunbeam grinder. SO much better. Quicker, quieter, much more even grind. Much better brew.

  The New King of Entry-Level Espresso: The Encore ESP is a Revelation!

  The Baratza Encore ESP is, simply put, the single best espresso upgrade you can make at this price point. It earns a full five stars for bridging the gap between an entry-level budget and truly phenomenal grind quality. For years, the original Encore was king of filter coffee, but this ESP model finally perfects the espresso game! The ingenious dual-range adjustment system—with its super-fine micro-steps (1-20) dedicated entirely to dialing in espresso—means you can achieve a consistent, syrupy shot where other budget grinders fail completely. The quality of the grind, thanks to the upgraded M2 conical burrs, is exceptional across all 40 settings, making it a genuine all-in-one workhorse for both espresso and pour-over. Plus, the included anti-static dosing cup is a brilliant touch that dramatically cleans up the espresso workflow and eliminates mess. If you are a home barista looking to level up your espresso machine without breaking the bank on a dedicated espresso grinder, the Encore ESP is an essential, high-performing, and reliable investment. It has completely transformed my morning routine!

  Expensive but very good grinder.

  Well-built, solid engineering. I have moved away from I stand coffee and focused on quality not quantity - two cups of real coffee a day is sufficient.

  Good little grinder!

  Bought this to replace a Breville Smart Grinder that stopped working after several years. I'd say the Baratza is probably a little better than the Breville in terms of grind quality. Pro's: * Good grind quality * Small footprint * Cheaper than the breville (and overall, very reasonably priced) Con's: * No timer for dosing * No holder to grind straight into portafilter; minor adjustment grinding into container first.

  Excellent product for the price.

  The Baratza does a great job grinding. We have tried it on different settings and found the right grind for using with our Aeropress. It's not hard to clean and maintain. (The necessary shims are a little fiddly.) From the videos I've watched, the current version is an improvement on previous versions. It has a thin platform for the collection cup, which ideally could be another 3cm higher, to reduce the amount of granules that end up outside of the cup, clinging to the inner sides of the case. The cup diameter is great for the Aeropress and would be just right for the portafilter of an espresso machine. The conical grounds bin would be great for filter coffee, but awkward for the Aeropress or portafilter. To be expected, it's a bit noisy, but not as noisy as others. Spare parts are available, direct from Baratza Australia. Having watched many videos, I'm thinking of getting the felt, some shims and a hopper gasket. Yep, I recommend this product! Suggestion: Let the lid of the hopper rest on top, not quite closed. At the end of a grind, give it a solid pat to close it. That will push any remaining grinds, out and into the cup.
