The #1 Go-To Grinder for Baristas

The Encore regularly tops the charts for "best coffee grinder" for its balance of quality, value, and ease of use.
Just ask your local barista what grinder they'd recommend. Bet it's a Baratza!

 

The Encore is lauded by coffee experts as THE go-to entry level grinder for those brewing coffee at home. The Encore gives a great grind for drip/manual brew and also grinds fine enough for espresso.

Featuring 40 individual grind settings, from fine to coarse, the 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 and Chemex. The specially designed burrs give a precise grind with minimal fines for a flavorful, balanced extraction when making espresso.

And, of course, the Encore is built with the quality Baratza parts you’ve 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.

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. In addition to a new drive shaft, motor mounting plate and bushings, this change includes a new drive gear made of 15% glass filled thermo plastic 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 burrs, and in every case the motor/gear/burrs stopped immediately, the (automatically-resettable) thermal cutout was triggered, and the gears were fine.

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. 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.

Great Coffee Grinder

Baratza Encore Grinder White

After two weeks we are vary happy with this coffee grinder. Much quieter than our previous unit. Setting 12 works well with the AreoPress. Setting 28 (a course grind for French Press) is not quite as consistent, but I guess that is to be expected for course grinds. Assemble was a bit finicky, silicon rubber seal has a habit of unseating itself and the bean hopper little alignment notch needs a tiny bit of wear in. But taking it easy and a bit a fiddling and it is working great.

Can’t believe we’ve waited this long to buy one

Burr ground coffee is simply much better. The Baratza Encore does it well and at a reasonable price. No unnecessary features, just a solidly built well designed machine. If you like coffee, buy one. Also the top selection of The Wirecutter in New York Times

A better and quieter cup of freshly made coffee!

Good honest service and walked away a coffee snob with bragging rights, A much more pleasant coffee making experience overall and look forward now to the experience. I have to be careful to avoid the temptation now, thankfully my daughter is taking up the slack.
