Baratza Encore Espresso Coffee Grinder
Featuring 40 individual grind settings, the Baratza Encore can please any palate with its gamut of accurate and repeatable grind settings. The Encore has an accurate medium to coarse grind for the increasingly popular manual brew methods such as pour-over, Aeropress, Siphon, Drip, and Chemex. The specially designed burrs give a precise grind with minimal fines for a flavorful, balanced extraction when making espresso.
Of course, Encore’s build quality is one that Baratza parts consumers have come to trust. The efficient DC motor keeps your beans cool, even during extended grind times, while a combination of electric and gear speed reducers slow the burr to 450 RPM, ensuring a smooth bean feed and reducing noise, heat, and static buildup.
Beyond a great coffee-drinking experience, the Encore makes for a great coffee-making experience. A convenient, front-mounted pulse button makes it easy to grind on demand into your brew basket. Whether you are looking for an espresso grinder or a grinder to help you explore that extensive range of brew methods, the Encore is a great all-around home grinder.

Grinding Burrs
- Conical: 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.
Grinding Adjustment
- 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. In addition to a new driveshaft, motor mounting plate, and bushings, this change includes a new drive gear made of 15% glass-filled thermoplastic which is quieter than the prior metal gear, wears better, and is more shock resistant. During the Encore’s rigorous testing process, stainless steel screws were thrown into the burr, and in every case, the motor/gear/burrs stopped immediately, the (automatically-resettable) thermal cutout was triggered, and the gears were fine.
- Stepped: Turn the hopper within 40 settings, you can quickly adjust from fine for espresso to coarse for French Press. The grind range is from 250 to 1200 microns.
- All-purpose: The Encore is a great grinder for manual brewing and espresso.
Operation
- Minimal retention: To maximize freshness, the Encore minimizes the ground coffee left in the grinder.
- 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 gears and an electronic speed reduction to control the rotation of the burr to 450 RPM. The electronic speed controller is adjustable from 405 to 495 RPM. This allows for specific user conditions that would require modification of the speed. This slow speed reduces heat, noise, and static generation in the grinder. It also ensures that the beans feed smoothly into the burrs.
- On-off Switch: The Encore has an easy on-off switch.
- Cleaning: Burrs are easily removable with no tools, making cleaning very easy.
- 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.

SJOL –
I bought this as a replacement for my Preciso that broke down from a weak frame are 3-4 years of use. The Encore looks simpler and hopefully contains less adjustable moving parts. I use it for French press. They are great as spice grinder too.
1st-line Note: Our grinders are sold as a coffee grinder. If anything else is used in this coffee grinder as the intended purpose of this grinder is to grind coffee, a return and refund will be refused if anything else than coffee is used.

I use it mainly for espressos; and when family come around, I use a courser grind for a filter coffee. Verdict: I love the espresso I get from this. The range is wide enough for making coffee for all occasions. It was a little over my budget but worth it!

Bought it as a gift since mine has lasted 15 years and is still going strong in daily use. The recipient says he loves the versatility and ease of use. The usual fast and considerate service from 1st Line is a given.

I bought this expressly to grind coffee for a french press. It is noisy but works fine. I was surprised to discover that a burr grinder makes vastly superior coffee than a blade grinder for french press.
