The Encore has an accurate medium to coarse grind for the increasingly popular manual brew methods such as pour-over, Aeropress, Siphon and Chemex.

Grinds Left in Grinder: To maximize freshness, the Encore minimizes the ground coffee left in the grinder. Recently, this got me thinking about the wing nut on top of the cone burr. Most people assume that it’s there to keep the upper burr in place. But that’s actually not the reason. 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

An innovative burr calibration system ensures that each grinder comes ready to grind for most home espresso machine portafilter baskets. If necessary, the grinders can be user-calibrated. SPEED CONTROLA common complaint of the Baratza Encore is that it can feel quite slow at times. The reason for this (besides the burr type) is it has a lot of so-called popcorning. This means that the beans are flying around in the hopper, instead of sliding down and being crushed between the burrs. Basic: There aren’t any “convenience” features such as dose controls or timers, which isn’t a surprise since the Encore is the most basic model from Baratza. The Encore does produce some dust – the so-called ‘fines’ – but not much compared to other entry-level grinders. The Baratza “Encore” offers as many as 40 coffee grinding levels, ranging from extremely fine to coarse. It’s extremely flexible and the coffee ground by it can be used for a French Press and a variety of other coffee brewing methods, such as the Chemex, Aeropress, dripper or a siphon. The grinder is equipped with conical burrs made of hardened steel.
