Grounds come out in chunky clumps? [ECM automatik 54]
Isn't the answer right there: "WDT them away." Not at all uncommon--e.g. I've found that the Baratza Encore ESP can be the same, with my dark-roast beans. Interestingly, using the same burrs, the Baratza Encore ESP Pro produces non-clumpy, fluffy grounds, seemingly as the result of the grinder's inc

DF54... I am at my wits end.
Had the same problem and returned it. Got a Baratza encore esp pro and it has never clogged so far.

Novata que precisa de dicas :)
MUDANÇAS! Parabéns por saires da Nespresso. É logo meio caminho andado para melhorares MUITO a qualidade (e até o custo por café). Sobre o moinho: o Sage Dose Control Pro é uma escolha honesta para começar. Tens doseamento automático Agora, parte sincera: há duas limitações que vemos bastante: algum

Baratza Encore ESP Pro: My experience
Thanks for your impressions, and comparisons. Helpful to read, indeed. Your having used both the ESP Pro and the DF54, any further thoughts on a comparison of their flavor profiles--how similar/different they are and in what ways? A general impression I've gathered over the years (going back to the

Grinder volume question [DF64 v2]
The Encore ESP Pro is a nice enhanced version of the Encore ESP. Note: the flavor profile is the same--the ESP Pro uses the same burrs as the ESP, and one should expect the same flavor between the 2 grinders, as a general matter. The biggest value is the ESP Pro's 2.2-micron display grind steps, as

Breville vs Ninja [Budget between $500-$700]
And if matters can stretch just a bit, the Baratza Encore ESP Pro grinder--some nice quality enhancements there, most specifically a minute grind step and an ionizer producing fluffy grounds. :) (Note that with the current Breville sale, the total price with a Breville Bambino Plus and the Baratza E

Dumb Grinder Question - Single Dose Setups
The Baratza Encore ESP Pro, which I have, can be used as a single dose or hopper machine. It comes with a removable hopper, and you can set it to a timed-grind mode where it will grind for whatever time you set it for (presumably to get the dose you want). In single-dose mode, you remove the hopper

Help me pick a grinder for my Bambino Plus [$800]
If considering the Encore ESP, I'd also look at the Encore ESP Pro: the latter is a nice enhancement over the original ESP, with significantly tighter grind precision in the espresso range (a pretty amazing 2.2-micron display step, essentially near-stepless in practice--in comparison, the original E

Baratza encore ESP vs kingrinder k6?[$200]
The KinGrinder K6 manual grinder is well-regarded here for its quality/output/price value ratio; typically priced in the U.S. at just under US$100. Up from there, the 1Zpresso J-Ultra really is a hand-grinding star, albeit at ~double the KinGrinder K6's price. A major difference between the two: the

Best multipurpose grinder for espresso and batch brew [<400CAD]
I don't have any issue whatsoever with the original Baratza Encore ESP grinding fine enough for a mainstream espresso machine. That being said, it has 20-micron grind steps, which the Encore ESP Pro enhances to whopping 2.2-micron display steps (making the grinder effectively stepless in practice) a
