Encore

My current combo is a Technivorm Mochamaster and Baratza Encore. They are fantastic. Grind quality 1000% affects taste.The moment you switch to even an entry-level burr grinder like the Encore, you’ll instantly notice how much better the coffee is compared to the spice/blade/bullet shaped grinders y

Former coffee professional here (sourced greens and worked for a 3rd wave roaster) The best things you can do, without falling into a rabbit hole are: Buy high quality/whole bean coffee, use a burr grinder right before you brew your coffee, and use a scale to ensure a proper ratio of coffee to water

Interestingly, using the same burrs, the Baratza Encore ESP Pro produces non-clumpy, fluffy grounds, seemingly as the result of the grinder's inc

Honestly even a solid drip brew machine, Baratza Encore Grinder and some good beans goes a long way too. Less fancy drinks but still.

Baratza Encore ESP and a Breville Bambino. This is a solid, user friendly setup with some ways to upgrade (improved brew basket) and Baratza has long been the industry standard for your use case (you're ready to move into specialty coffee, but not ready to commit to spending your life savings). I wo

I use a Baratza Encore. Nothing wrong with that. It grinds enough to make a good shot. What more do you need?
