## Description

desertcart.com: Baratza Encore ESP Coffee Grinder ZCG495BLK, Black : Home & Kitchen

Review: Solidly made, quality grinder for entry-level espresso - First, know this is a basic model espresso and coffee grinder that doesn't have any unnecessary features. It grinds beans well and is easy to adjust in a wide range of very fine to very coarse. It's made so that all the parts can be replaced to support years of use. But you'll need a good coffee scale and some patience to dial in good espresso. It's stylish enough to not look bad on the counter, but nothing fancy. The retention isn't too bad. There's a fair amount of spraying of grounds around the side from static, but you can easily mitigate this with a couple drops of water to reduce static. The hopper works fine for single dose espresso, though you may want to buy the single-dose specific attachment. It's loud but not horribly so. After a few weeks of use, I'm very pleased with the grinder.
Review: So Much Better! - I didn't realize how bad my Cuisinart Automatic Burr grinder was until using this for the first time. The second I picked this up I could tell it was built like a brick compared to the Cuisinart. The only part that really feels cheap is the plastic coffee holder that sits above the machine. The grinding of the coffee is what really sets it apart. The Baratza ESP is not only much quieter than the Cuisinart but it's much more controlled when grinding. The Cuisinart starts up and sounds like a high pitched airplane, sending grounds flying into the ground housing while the Baratza sounds like I actually can hear the coffee being ground. It also gently drops the coffee in a controlled manor which is great as I can hold my espresso portafilter directly under the spout and manually hold the on button for several seconds to fill it. After coming from the automatic grinder I thought the manual only option would end up being my biggest annoyance but I actually enjoy watching the coffee being ground into the canister. Just flip the lever and it grinds fast enough to where you really don't want to go anywhere while it's on. The grind quality is also on point. The issue with the Cuisinart was that the motor would get to such high RPMs that it killed the grind quality. Some of the coffee would come out ground to the desired size while some of it would be ground to fine dust which would collect near the top lid. I have ground coffee for both French press and espresso and the grind quality of the Baratza appears to be extremely consistent. No more extremely fine grounds when set to a coarse setting :) Overall, the Baratza ESP is an amazing grinder setting the bar much higher than my previous grinder. My last grinder ran about everyday for 6 years before failing so I'm hoping for at least 10 with this.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is this conical or flat burr?**
A: This has a 40mm steel conical burr. the burr is also quick release for easy cleaning.

**Q: Does single dose hopper come included or do i need to buy separately no videos online show unboxing it**
A: It didn’t come with the single dose hopper

**Q: The reviews of this grinder claim it uses new m2 burrs, while baratza's website currently lists it with the inferior m3 burrs. which one is correct?**
A: Originally, the ESP was released withe the sharper M2 burr set found on the higher-end Virtuoso. However, we can confirm your claim that Baratza's site now lists that the ESP is outfitted with the M3 burr set. We are still looking into why they had to make this change. But to be fair, both sets are virtually identical 40mm conical steel designs, and we can't easily say that we detected any difference in grind consistencey. Burrs aside we think the main strength of the ESP is that it's calibration is properly oriented to the finer side of the burr set's range.

**Q: I live in Thailand where the standard household voltage is 240volts. Can this unit be somehow adapted to the higher Thailand voltage?**
A: Information received from Baratza:  “To explain the two ratings listed on our site: we offer two different versions for all Baratza models, depending on the voltage required for that territory.

In the US, we sell only the grinders with a power rating of 100-120VAC.
In countries that use 220V power, we use the other configuration (220-240VAC) through our international distributors”. To determine where you could purchase a grinder to use with a 220v  system, contact Baratza support   at baratza.com.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very satisfied...please watch my video for important info
*by R***Q on March 21, 2024*

I did a LOT of research before purchasing the Encore ESP grinder. I guess I am now officially down the coffee rabbit hole. So why did I end up with the Encore ESP? 1) Baratza reputation which is excellent throughout the coffee lover's community 2) Customer service. I couldn't find a negative comment regarding Baratza customer service. (See video for more info regarding my customer service experience) 3) Capabilities. Able to grind all the way from espresso to cold brew 4) Price. For someone just beginning to expand their coffee experience beyond buying pre- ground coffee I didn't want to spend too much up front. However, I wanted something durable and capable of grinding a wide range of quality ground sizes. 5) Longevity. I wanted the grinder to last! Everything I read about Baratza grinders was they last and last. And if they break, Baratza actually WANTS to help get the grinder fixed! Pro's: 1) Easy to use 2) Easy to clean. No tools needed. Easy to remove ring burr and clean inside. 3) Compact but easily capable of grinding anywhere from a single dose of grounds to a 12 cup coffee maker's load of grounds. 4) Wide range of grind sizes. And, based on reviews by people who know a lot more than I do about coffee grinding, grind sizes are very consistent. 5) Fresh ground coffee smell. Could be the best smell in the world. 6) Customer service, customer service, customer service! Con's: 1) I wish I could have afforded to buy the Barazta Forte BG. Well, maybe someday. Post purchase suggestions: 1) Watch my video! Make sure you check your quick release knob. If you have the old version contact Baratza and they will send you the new style for free. Why? The original quick release knob has a tendency to work its way loose during grinding. This may cause your grind sizes to be very inconsistent. 2) If you don't own a coffee scale yet, get one! Trust me, you really shouldn't be grinding coffee and not own a scale. You can but I'll bet you will want one. 3) Get yourself an Atomizer Sprayer. Spraying your beans before grinding will all but eliminate static. It takes very little water so don't go overboard. 4) Regret not buying the Encore ESP a long time ago. That's about it, I hope you found something helpful in this review. I truly believe you won't regret your purchase. There's nothing about this grinder that shouldn't last for years to come. And if by chance you need to replace the burrs or something else wears out, Baratza offers all of the parts on their online store. You can pretty much rrebuild this ground from the frame up. Most importantly, enjoy the smell of fresh ground coffee, better tasting coffee and the experience of grinding your own beans!
