Key features
The Encore grinder has always been able to grind great coffee for pour-over or other alternative coffee preparation methods, but lacked the micro-regulation needed to make delicious espresso. So what makes the Encore ESP grinder capable of making espresso?
Baratza's engineers took advantage of the micro and macro adjustment mechanism, which they adapted and simplified for easier and more intuitive handling. The first 20 clicks of the Encore ESP coffee machine's settings allow for micro-adjustments just right for making espresso, while the next 20 settings allow for larger macro-adjustments that cover the rest of the grind size range. The result is an intuitive setting mechanism that makes switching between different coffee preparation methods a breeze.
The 54mm diameter dosing cup (and included 58mm diameter adapter ring) make it easy to transfer the ground coffee directly to the portafilter, resulting in less mess and an even distribution that's ready to tamp! Fits most portafilter baskets of home coffee machines. You can use the included dispenser to catch the ground coffee and transfer it to the portafilter for espresso preparation, and for other preparation methods you can replace it with a classic collection container.
Baratza has even included their M2 40mm conical stone in the great mechanism for maximum flavor awesomeness. Carefully manufactured in Europe, they produce the consistent and precise grind needed for espresso and all other preparation methods. Among other things, the conical edge of the coffee machine can be easily removed without the use of additional tools, making cleaning and maintenance very easy.
A powerful high-torque DC motor effortlessly drives the entire internal mechanism of the grinder. This motor rotates slowly, resulting in cool, quieter operation and allowing for long grinding cycles. The circuit is equipped with an automatically resetting thermal switch. This thermal overload protection protects the motor from overheating due to excessive use. At the same time, it also ensures a smooth supply of grains to the mill plates.
The innovative grinder calibration system ensures that each grinder is ready to grind for most portafilter baskets of home coffee machines. If necessary, the grinders can be calibrated by the user.
