Baratza Encore Conical Coffee Grinder Review

Some pros: First you need to understand whether you need a coffee grinder with burrs at all. For the Turks - no, they don’t need it: you can grind it into dust with a knife. For espresso, alternatives are here. I use it under the aeropress and funnel, every day several times. Not suitable for a coffee shop - slow. For the home, it's perfect. The portion will be swept away in 7-8 seconds (I spotted it by eye). Grinding evenly, adjustable over a wide range. Very compact. Not heavy, but stable en

Quite a decent coffee grinder from inexpensive. I have been using espresso and an alternative for a year now. Under espresso, the step of adjusting the degree of grinding is sometimes rough, you have to additionally change the dosage of coffee. Under the Turk, imho, it is better to look for another milk. It's a good choice for home use. Has some pros Simple and quick adjustment of the grinding degree. Sufficient performance for the home. Inexpensive. Small. Its cons: Ground coffee accumulates…

It grinds nothing finer than the 6-8 setting. And I had to stir the beans under that number. SMH. I called Braatza support. I told them it doesn't grind anything below 6. They walked me through everything and as a result explained that you don't have to grind anything below 6 in the Aero Press. This answer was unsatisfactory. I am returning the item today. Do not buy for fine grinding. To update. After picking up the Baratza at the UPS store, I went to BB&B and checked out what they had on the…

As a pseudo coffee addict (which means I love good coffee but I won't pay too much for it), I was a little heartbroken to try the grinder on my 6th birthday to have a year old Breville Barista Express began to fail. I did a little research and found this to be a known problem with a plastic part that's almost impossible to replace (some people have 3D printed solutions that require ripping the device apart, but I'm not that patient or comfortable) , so here's my solution was to either replace…

After less than 6 months of use, the Encore grinder stopped working. Probably power outage. I expected it to last longer. To their credit, Baratza's customer service was quick to respond and sent me another unit. The replacement unit was refurbished, but it worked and was covered by the same warranty. The new device failed shortly after the warranty period expired. Baratza has an affordable $45 repair option, but I'm switching to a manual grinder. I grind 20g of coffee beans every day - not a…

I already knew what I was getting from this device, so its features are a plus for me. I don't grind espresso, and there are undoubtedly other (more expensive) grinders that are better suited to the task. I am a fan of hand brewing and this grinder is perfect for fine, medium and medium grinds. Easy to use, relatively easy to clean (check out Seattle Coffee Gear's cleaning video). I didn't have to recalibrate the height of the ridges from the factory settings. Compared to the Hario Skerton…

After reading reviews and recommendations from a local roaster, my wife bought me this coffee grinder as a gift. It's inexpensive, grinds well, and doesn't leave much of a mess on the counter. Late one Saturday morning while I was grinding beans it just stopped! Insert sad face here. Luckily I had enough reason to weed, but what would the coming week be without my favorite cup of coffee? I emailed the support address not expecting a reply but just to get the ball rolling. They replied within an
