This dedicated home espresso grinder features 40mm stainless steel M2 conical burrs, with 20 stepped adjustments for espresso and 20 adjustments for filter coffee, making fine-tuning a breeze for dialling in perfect shots. Whether you're just beginning your home barista journey or you're a seasoned coffee enthusiast looking for a reliable all-rounder, the Encore ESP delivers the precision grinding you need to extract maximum flavour from every bean.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat sets the Encore ESP apart from its predecessor is an ingeniously reconfigured grind adjustment mechanism. Settings 1 through 20 are now micro adjustments specially for espresso, with each click of the adjustment collar moving the burrs a mere 20 microns. Settings 21 to 40, on the other hand, are macro adjustments for all other coffee styles, shifting the burrs by 90 microns at a time. This dual-range system means you can dial in espresso with exceptional precision whilst still having the flexibility to grind for pour-over, AeroPress, French press, or cold brew. The grinder uses the same M2 40mm conical steel burrs found in the Virtuoso+, providing improved grind size distribution and a uniform particle size that translates directly into better flavour clarity in your cup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBaratza has built its reputation on creating grinders that are not only effective but also sustainable and serviceable. The cone burr is easily removable with no additional tools, making cleaning and maintenance very easy. The hopper, burr holder, and cone burr can all be removed without tools for straightforward cleanup. Backed by a 2-year manufacturer warranty and Baratza's legendary customer support, the Encore ESP is built to be a lasting part of your coffee setup, with replacement parts readily available should you ever need them. This is a grinder designed not just for today's coffee, but for years of exceptional brewing to come.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!-- Technical Specifications --\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-specifications\"\u003e\n\u003ch1\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBurr Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e 40mm conical M2 steel burrs (hardened alloy steel, manufactured in Europe)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrind Settings:\u003c\/strong\u003e 40 stepped settings (1-20 micro adjustments for espresso, 21-40 macro adjustments for filter brewing)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrind Resolution:\u003c\/strong\u003e Approximately 20 microns per step (settings 1-20), 90 microns per step (settings 21-40)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMotor:\u003c\/strong\u003e High-torque DC motor with direct-drive gear reduction transmission\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBurr Speed:\u003c\/strong\u003e 550 RPM (no load)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrinding Speed:\u003c\/strong\u003e Approximately 1.3 g\/sec at setting 10; 2.2 g\/sec at setting 30\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBean Hopper Capacity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 300g (10.6 oz)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrounds Bin Capacity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 120g (4.2 oz)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDosing Cup Compatibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e 54mm portafilter dosing cup included, with 58mm adapter ring\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions (W x D x H):\u003c\/strong\u003e 13 x 15 x 34 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3.1 kg (6.8 lbs)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePower:\u003c\/strong\u003e 220–240VAC, 50\/60 Hz, 70W, 0.5A, Class II\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBurr Mount:\u003c\/strong\u003e Quick release for tool-free removal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMotor Protection:\u003c\/strong\u003e Thermal overload cutout (automatically resetting)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSafety Certifications:\u003c\/strong\u003e UL \/ CSA \/ CE \/ EK\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDesign \u0026amp; Engineering:\u003c\/strong\u003e Seattle, WA, USA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturing \u0026amp; Assembly:\u003c\/strong\u003e Taiwan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColour:\u003c\/strong\u003e Black (matte finish)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWarranty:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2-year manufacturer warranty (household use only)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch1\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat's in the Box\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBaratza Encore ESP grinder\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBean hopper with lid\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e54mm anti-static portafilter dosing cup\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e58mm dosing cup adapter ring\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDosing cup base\/stand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGround coffee bin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBurr cleaning brush\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBurr calibration shims\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- FAQ Section --\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-faq\"\u003e\n\u003ch1\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCan the Baratza Encore ESP grind fine enough for espresso?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, the Encore ESP has been specifically re-engineered for espresso grinding. Settings 1 through 20 are micro adjustments specially for espresso, with each click moving the burrs just 20 microns. This high-resolution adjustment range allows you to dial in your shots with precision. An innovative burr calibration system ensures that each grinder comes ready to grind for most home espresso machine portafilter baskets. Baratza also includes calibration shims in the box, allowing you to adjust the grind range even finer if needed for particularly light roasts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat is the difference between the Baratza Encore and the Encore ESP?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe predecessor was the Baratza Encore, a grinder known for its reliability and ease of use, but geared towards drip or filter methods of brewing. The Encore ESP took the bones of the Encore and gave it new burrs, more espresso grind sizes, and a dosing accessory. The key difference lies in the grind adjustment mechanism: whilst both have 40 settings, the ESP's first 20 settings make much finer micro-adjustments suited to espresso, whereas the original Encore's settings were more evenly spaced across the range. The ESP also features upgraded M2 burrs and includes a portafilter dosing cup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eIs the Encore ESP suitable for filter coffee and other brewing methods?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAbsolutely. You can dial back to coarser settings with the macro adjustment, meaning you can still use this grinder for slow brewing. Settings 21-40 cover everything from AeroPress and pour-over through to French press and cold brew. Switching back to your dialled-in setting brings you right back to the grind size you need without additional work, making this one of the best grinders for multi-purpose use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eHow do I clean and maintain the Encore ESP?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMaintenance is straightforward by design. The cone burr is easily removable with no additional tools, making cleaning and maintenance very easy. Regular cleaning involves removing the hopper, brushing out retained grounds with the included cleaning brush, and occasionally removing the burrs for a more thorough clean. We recommend purging a small amount of coffee through the grinder if you've changed beans, and giving the burrs a brush clean every week or two depending on usage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWill the dosing cup fit my portafilter?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Encore ESP comes with a 54mm anti-static dosing cup that fits 54mm portafilters directly (common on many Sage\/Breville machines). It also includes a 58mm adapter for larger portafilters, so it's compatible with standard 58mm portafilters as well. The dosing cup allows you to grind directly into it, then flip and tap the grounds into your portafilter for an even distribution.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eHow loud is the Encore ESP?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe motor turns slowly, resulting in cool, quieter operation, and permits long grinding duty cycles. Operating at 550 RPM, the Encore ESP is relatively quiet for an electric grinder. The combination of gear and electronic speed reduction controls burr rotation, which helps keep noise levels manageable for home use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDoes the Encore ESP retain much coffee between grinds?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe grinder is designed with retention in mind and minimises the ground coffee left in the grinder. Some users find that a light tap or running the grinder for an extra second or two helps clear any remaining grounds. For single-dosing workflows, many users weigh their beans in, grind, and then weigh the output to ensure consistency.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat warranty does the Encore ESP come with?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Baratza Encore ESP is backed by a 2-year limited manufacturer warranty. This covers defects in materials and workmanship under normal household use. Baratza is renowned for its excellent customer support and maintains a wide availability of replacement parts, meaning your grinder can be serviced and repaired for many years beyond the warranty period.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eIs the Encore ESP suitable for use with pressurised portafilter baskets?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. It has been designed to work with espresso machines using traditional baskets as well as the ability to be used with pressurised baskets and for manual brew methods.
