Encore
CONICAL BURR GRINDER
The Encore™ is lauded by
coffee experts as THE go-to
entry-level grinder for those
brewing coffee at home.
The Encore gives a great grind for drip/manual
brew and also grinds fine enough for espresso.
Featuring 40 individual grind settings, from fine
to coarse, the Encore can please any palate
with its gamut of accurate and repeatable
grind settings. The Encore has the accurate
medium to coarse grind for the increasingly
popular manual brew methods such as pourover, Aeropress, Siphon and Chemex. The
specially designed burrs give a precise grind
with minimal fines for a flavorful, balanced
extraction when making espresso.
And, of course, the Encore is built with the
quality Baratza parts you’ve come to trust.
The efficient DC motor keeps your beans
cool, even during extended grind times, while
a combination of electric and gear speed
reducers slow the burr to 450 RPM, ensuring a
smooth bean feed and reducing noise, heat and
static buildup.
Beyond a great coffee-drinking experience,
the Encore makes for a great coffee-making
experience. A convenient, front-mounted pulse
button makes it easy to grind on demand into
your brew basket. Whether you are looking for
an espresso grinder or a grinder to help you
explore that extensive range of brew methods,
the Encore is a great all around home grinder.

BURRS:
BREWING METHODS:
SPEED CONTROL:
Manufactured in Europe, the Encore’s 40 mm
conical burrs will grind for many styles of
coffee. Conical burr grinders are exceptional at
producing consistent grinds from very fine to
very coarse as well as being durable and will
remain sharp for many years.
The Encore is a great grinder for manual
brewing and espresso.
With unique speed control, the Encore uses
a combination of gear and electronic speed
reduction to control the rotation of the burr
to 450 RPM. The electronic speed controller
is adjustable from 405 to 495 RPM in the
event that specific user conditions require
modification of the speed. This slow speed
reduces heat, noise, and static generation in
the grinder. It also ensures that the beans feed
smoothly into the burrs.
GEARBOX:
In 2012, Baratza introduced the second
generation Gearbox (GB 2.0). With GB 2.0,
Baratza has significantly increased the strength
and durability of the drive transmission while
decreasing noise. In addition to a new drive
shaft, motor mounting plate and bushings, this
change includes a new drive gear made of 15%
glass filled thermo plastic which is quieter than
the prior metal gear, wears better and is more
shock resistant. During the Encore’s rigorous
testing process, stainless steel screws were
thrown into the burrs, and in every case the
motor/gear/burrs stopped immediately, the
(automatically-resettable) thermal cutout was
triggered, and the gears were fine.
GRIND ADJUSTMENT:
Turn the hopper and with 40 settings you can
quickly adjust from fine for espresso to coarse
for French Press. The grind range is from 250 to
1200 microns.
CLEANING:
Burrs are easily removable with no tools,
making cleaning very easy.
MOTOR:
A powerful, high torque DC motor effortlessly
drives the burrs. This motor turns slowly
resulting in cool, quiet operation and permits
long grinding duty-cycles. The circuitry is
equipped with an automatically resetting,
thermal cutoff switch.
GRINDS LEFT IN GRINDER:
To maximize freshness, the Encore minimizes
the ground coffee left in the grinder.
CALIBRATION:
An innovative burr calibration system ensures
that each grinder has the full range of grind. If
necessary, the grinders can be user calibrated.
ON/OFF SWITCH:
The Encore has an easy on-off switch.
ACCESSOR I ES
ESATTO:
HOPPER EXTENDER:
An accessory that transforms your Encore into
a grind by weight grinder. Set the weight you
want, the Esatto does the rest, weighing the
ground coffee to within +/- 0.2g, while grinding,
and stopping automatically.
An extension that can add 9 oz. of capacity
to the existing 8 oz. bean hopper. Several
extenders can be added to get to the capacity
you need.
