Encore ESP

Well you saved a ton of money so don’t skimp on a good grinder. It all depends how deep in the rabbit hole you want to go. I have this same machine with Baratza Encore ESP and am happy with it. I use the grinder for everything from espresso to pour over. If you can afford a $5-600 grinder, do you. T

Vanuit BIFL oogpunt is dat simpel. Aan volautomaten kan meer kapot gaan en die zullen ook sneller kapot gaan. Zeker een DeLonghi. Dat is een budgetapparaat en in geen enkel opzicht BIFL. Grote kans dat die binnen 4-5 jaar versleten is. Als je een BIFL volautomaat wil, zul je voor een professionele J

Baratza encore esp. $160 on prime day a few years ago. Got it cause I'd had the OG non-espresso encore for my morning drip thanks to a wirecutter review, but I'd gotten more into espresso since then. The ESP was a familiar device and in the right price range for someone curious about the espresso wo

I have a DF64 and Baratza Encore ESP. Don't overestimate the impact of the burr type. The beans matter much much more. Never lacked body on the DF if the beans allow it, but I've been missing clarity on the ESP for some beans. Don't overthink it, good beans well dialed in in any of those grinders wi

I only looked at the study quickly, but unless I misunderstood, the study was limited to a whopping 3 conical grinders and 3 flat-burr grinders. As we know, each grinder and its burrs has its own individual characteristics. Some conicals can be more "flat-burr-like," and some flat-burrs more "conica

I would recommend the v Breville Bambino as well, I have this machine for the past two years it's great. I would absolutely not agree with the smart grinder. The Breville Bambino cannot extract light beans... If this matters to your mom get a machine that works with that. The Bambino excels in mediu

Turkish grind is the finest of all coffee types (literally powder), so it really puts grinders to the test. Honestly, manual grinders give you the best bang for your buck for Turkish coffee. Check out the 1Zpresso J-Ultra or a classic Sözen hand mill. If you really want an electric grinder, you'll n

Im so glad with that grinder, coming from a Baratza Encore ESP, I know now what consistency is lol. I’m going to try Turkish grind with it soon, as I bought Turkish/Greek style roasted beans from Greece. It should be able to handle it according to Eureka.

I really like my Baratza Encore ESP Pro. I use for everything from Moka pot to pour over and aeropress to espresso. I LOVE being able to simply turn the collar to get to the number I want. I find it easy to use and clean. I did buy a small bellows for the single-dose hopper, but you could use the ho

Depends, Starbucks is a low bar so I beat that quality using a Baratza Encore ESP. It struggled dialing in light roasts so I recently upgraded to a DF64, swapped in SSP HU burrs and properly aligned them. Now I can compete with many $1500+ grinders. The espresso machine is less important as they’re
