Baratza Encore

Great choice for home

Specialist manufacturer Baratza positions the Encore grinder as the entry-level solution and the best start to coffee journeys. The model is optimal for home use, as it combines relatively small dimensions with acceptable performance (for domestic needs) and high grinding quality.

The Baratza Encore is equipped with conical burrs that help to evenly grind grains. The rotation is directly transmitted to them by a 70-watt motor, which provides relatively low speeds (up to 550 rpm). This reduces noise and heating of the beans, and the overall grinding speed is about 1 gram per second (from 0.8 to 1.1 depending on the settings), which is more than enough for household needs. The millstones can be easily removed for cleaning.

40 settings and two start options

High grinding uniformity is combined with flexible adjustment options. 40 degrees of adjustment are immediately proposed for brewing from espresso (fine grinding) to French press (coarse grinding) and an abundance of options in between (aeropress, filter coffee, siphon, etc.).

Two options for turning on the device are also available. The first is a rotary switch with characteristic marks On and Off (the lever, by the way, rotates both clockwise and counterclockwise). The second is the launch of the pulse mode, in which grinding lasts exactly as long as the corresponding button is pressed.

The bean tank holds 227 grams (8 ounces), while the ground coffee container holds 142 g. Instead of the latter, a horn fits under the dispenser without any problems. It is with him that it is recommended to use the pulse mode.

The Baratza Encore is a great home coffee grinder that comes in two versatile colors - black or white.
