Tips for a newbie with a bambino plus, what else to buy?
There are many other grinders now for $200 that outperform the baratza encore esp, where you don't have to worry about shims and are full metal construction. Two of which I mentioned.

Df64, upgrade notable?
Are you moving from the Baratza Encore or the Baratza Encore ESP? I moved from the Baratza Encore (non ESP) to the CF64 (bought an open box model on sale) and it is a significant upgrade for me. It takes far less attempts to dial in the grind. That said if you don’t change beans often then you might

The Weekend Brew - What are you making this weekend? (May 2026)
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

Would you prefer a BUDGET 64mm flat burr grinder, or a GOOD 55mm conical burr grinder? [$250]
This is true also of the Baratza Encore ESP - I have had one for a year, and it absolutely has never ground finely enough. Almost. But no. Steer clear of that I would say.

Possible Grinder Recommendations [$300-$500]
Good news to know now… Baratza Encore ESPs can’t drift from zero. Or at least, they aren’t supposed to be realigned. Nothing I found online showed me that until AFTER I went through the process. Now the grinder is broken. So, now I do have to buy a new one.

Machine Upgrade - Was it the Right Move
IMHO, the Encore ESP is a fine (and clever), basic, starter conical burr grinder, especially geared towards medium and dark roasts. If that's all you want and need, you're set. But I have found that it can be less precise in its stepped grind settings--e.g. you can be at a grind step setting of 19 a

Whats wrong with my machine
well...... i hate to be that one guy but this baratza encore model is not made for proper espresso. it is designed for drip coffee for the most part. they have another model for espresso called the encore ESP however, i'd look into a DF54 instead because it's muuuuuch better value. Espresso needs mi

Shots suddenly running too fast with the same grind setting [Bambino Plus, Baratza Encore]
I had this same problem (Breville Bambino Plus and Baratza Encore ESP). All of a sudden it was running way too fast. Cleaned both. Descaled. Everything. Same beans as always. Stored in an airtight container. Even tried a new batch of the same beans. Nothing worked. I’ve bought a new grinder (Niche Z
