Baratza Encore Review

"The Baratza Encore compact, efficient and quiet grinding has given it a fan following for entry-level grinders. Built with 40mm conical steel burrs, the Baratza Encore can grind from French press to espresso with a pressurized portafilter."

"The slim and trim Baratza Encore is lower priced than most of the competition—at about $140 versus about $200 for anything else in its echelon—and it performs as well as or better than any home grinder we tried."

"It's clear that the Encore benefits from Baratza's expertise in manufacturing higher-end grinders. The grind uniformity was much better than the other budget grinders I've tested."

"This was a step-down purchase for me... The idea here was to find the best bang-for-the-buck grinder at a price point of under $200. I spent days doing research and found that Barista Encore was constantly rated as the best in class."

"The Baratza Encore stands as a quintessential piece in the world of coffee grinding. This classic grinder has carved a niche for itself among coffee aficionados and novices alike."
