help Baratza Encore FAQ
Is the Baratza Encore a coffee maker or a grinder?
The Baratza Encore is a burr grinder, not a coffee maker. It grinds beans for brewers like a Hario V60, Chemex, AeroPress, or automatic drip machine.
How many grind settings does the Baratza Encore have?
The classic Baratza Encore has 40 grind settings. That range is well suited to filter coffee, French press, and pour-over brewing, though it is not as espresso-focused as the Encore ESP.
What burrs are inside the Baratza Encore?
The Encore uses 40 mm conical burrs. Burr grinders produce more consistent particle size than blade grinders, which is one reason the Encore is so common as a first serious coffee grinder.
Should espresso drinkers buy the Baratza Encore or Encore ESP?
Espresso drinkers should usually look at the Encore ESP because it was redesigned with espresso adjustment in mind. The original Encore can grind fine, but dialing in a 9-bar espresso machine is much easier with the ESP's finer control range.
