Overview
The Baratza Encore ESP is a modified version of the beloved Encore, optimized for espresso with a tighter grind adjustment range that provides more steps in the espresso zone. While the standard Encore can grind for espresso, the ESP version offers finer control in the critical range, making it easier to dial in. The familiar Encore body, quiet motor, and 40mm conical burrs are unchanged, maintaining the reliability and ease of use that have made the Encore one of the best-selling home grinders ever. The Encore ESP is an excellent entry-level espresso grinder for beginners who want Baratza quality and support without a large investment.
The Baratza Encore ESP features a 40mm conical burr set, crafted from steel. The burrs spin at 550 RPM, balancing grinding speed with heat management. Grind retention is approximately 1.5g, typical for a hopper-fed workflow.
At $199, the Baratza Encore ESP is aimed at home baristas seeking a solid grinder without a premium price tag. With a 230g hopper, it's designed for a traditional hopper-fed workflow. The conical burr design is known for producing a slightly bimodal grind distribution, which many enjoy for its body and complexity in espresso.
The Baratza Encore ESP is weighing 3.2 kg, manufactured in USA, powered by a 110W motor. Its footprint measures 120 x 170 x 350 mm (W×D×H).
