Encore ESP Pro

Baratza Encore ESP Pro, it's what cured my rage after the Fellow Opus. Whatever you do, do NOT get an Opus. With the Encore ESP Pro you're good to grind just about anything from a reputable brand for $299.

I just got a Baratza Encore Esp Pro. So far it is worked well from Moka pot, the Hario Switch, the Oxo Rapid Brewer, and my Aeropress.
