Review: Great grinder with some nitpicks - UPDATE November 2, 2025: Within a week of posting the March update, I started to have trouble with the grinder. It would occasionally become sluggish or stop, but I could always get it restarted again. I've seen other reports of similar problems, but since the grinder continued to work, I carried on with it. Finally, about a month ago it completely died. Following some YT videos, I was able to disassemble the grinder to test the motor and other components. The short story is that the power board had died. I contacted Baratza support, and after a brief email conversation and me sending them photos of the power board, they sent me a replacement power board for free, even though the grinder was outside the 1-year warranty period. I installed the new power board, and the grinder is running again. As for why the board originally failed, I think I accidentally got coffee grounds inside the guts of the grinder while cleaning it. I can't say for sure if that was the cause, the day after I cleaned it, I inverted it with some grinds in the hopper. The next day the problems started. Regardless, this review is now not just for the grinder, but for their support. UPDATE March 8, 2025: The grinder has been wonderful to use over the past year. I am changing my review to five stars. In addition to the star bump, there are three important updates, plus a comment: 1) I upgraded the burr from the original "M3" burr to an M2 burr I ordered directly from Baratza (now Breville). I think it was worth the money. 2) Lighter roasts do make for a slightly messier cleanup than darker roasts. My original review noted not having experienced much of that. 3) Pay attention to your grinding. If it suddenly seems inconsistent, inspect the ring burr holder to make sure all three outer tabs are intact. These are plastic parts designed to break under load to protect the more important internal components. I highly recommend ordering spare holders. I have had two break in the past year, reasons unknown. It sucks to have your grinder down waiting for replacement parts to arrive. Finally, this grinder is not going to give you better coffee if there are problems besides the grinder you're replacing. For me, I discovered the house water had been a secret roadblock to making good coffee at home. Once I realized how bad it was (cheap TDS meter purchased here on desertcart), I switched to using distilled water remineralized with Third Wave Water (also sold here on desertcart). ORIGINAL REVIEW: This is a "5-stars, but" review that makes me drop the rating to 4 stars. I'd give it 4 1/2 stars. Compared to the blade grinder I was using, though, it's worth 10 stars. I ordered the Encore in March 2024, shipped from and sold by desertcart.com. I wanted to be sure of the sender, even if it might have saved a few dollars ordering from a different vendor. The first thing you have to do is to do some minor assembly, and you would think that should be easy to do. There is a fluted rubber gasket that would not stay seated on the ring burr, though, and I ended up tearing it even before making a single pot of coffee. I did some googling and found out that there's a new version of the gasket that is supposed to be with newer Encores, so I'm not sure why mine had the old one. Regardless, I could have tried to obtain a replacement gasket either from Baratza or here, but I ended up ordering some aftermarket gaskets from Aieve (sold here on desertcart) that are a perfect match to Baratza's new gasket. If you get an Encore and it comes with the new gasket, congrats on not having to deal with that headache. After getting it assembled, I followed another online recommendation to run a small batch of beans through the grinder as sort of a break-in. That worked fine. Since then, the grinder has performed admirably. It has been used nearly every day on a variety of dark and medium roasts. It hasn't been especially staticky or messy. An occasional brushing of the chute and burrs is all I've needed to clean it out. I've been careful to keep the grounds below the line on the hopper, so I've avoided clogging it. I did buy some Urnex Grindz tablets, and I'll be using them soon to give the internals a more thorough cleaning. As for the coffee itself, I'm not an expert, but it seems fairly consistent in grinds for drip and French press. Any failures on making a less-than-tasty batch of coffee are almost certainly my fault, not the grinder's. Besides the finicky original gasket, the only complaint I have would be the noise. There are remedies for that, most notably upgrading the conical burr to the one found in the Virtuoso+ or Encore ESP, but I'm not ready to do that yet. Depending on who you ask, the lack of a timer on the Encore is either a curse or a blessing. I'm happy with it. I don't store the coffee in the hopper. I weigh each batch of beans before pouring them in the hopper, so I just turn the grinder on and let it empty the hopper. You can tell by the noise level when the grinder is done, it's significantly quieter. The resulting grounds have been the same weight as what I put in the hopper, so I know the grinder isn't leaving large quantities of coffee behind. There are tons of videos on YouTube regarding the Encore. I recommend checking those out.
Review: EXCELLENT CUSTOMER SUPPORT! - After scouring reviews and a recomendation from a local roaster, my wife purchased this grinder for me as a gift. It's reasonably priced, grinds consistent and doesn't leave a huge mess on the counter. Late one Saturday morning as I was grinding some beans it just quit! Insert sad face here. Fortunately I had enough grounds for a pot but, what would the week ahead be like without my favorite cup of joe? I emailed the customer support address, not really expecting a response, but to get the ball rolling. They responded within the hour. After multiple emails and links to trouble shooting guids I determined this was outside my experience level. Obviously disappointed considering the grinder was only about a year and a half old I was left with a choice. Either I send the grinder in and wait for them to repair it under their flat rate repair program or buy a new grinder. After reading reviews and considering different price points I found myself leaning towards purchasing the same grinder again. I like the grinder and it works well. Next day free shipping from desertcart helped finalize the decision. Even though I felt like the grinder should have lasted longer I wanted to have my beans ground by Monday. Once the new grinder arrived I decided to package the old grinder in the new box with a $45 check to have it repaired. I received my old grinder back in a week with a voided check packaged at the top of the box. The invoice said they had replaced the motor at no charge. The 1 year warranty had expired so I assumed that there was a mix up considering I had packaged the old grinder in the new box. I emailed the customer support folks again and told them there must have been a mistake. It was a new box and an old grinder. I didn't expect anything for free. Their response, no mix up, the motor should have lasted longer, the repair was free. Mind blown! They stood behind the product even though the warranty had expired. Not only would I recommend the product, they have a customer for life. In this day and age it's refreshing to have a company stand behind their product. Buy the grinder.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What is the length of the power cord?**
A: Just measured 4 ft. 6 inches in length and there is no place to wrap the cord around the underside of the base like some counter appliances.

**Q: My husband and like different types of coffee. Can we just put a servings worth of coffee in the hopper at a time instead of keeping the hooper full?**
A: Absolutely!! I have a little digital weighing machine, weighs in both ounces and grams. I use a Bialetti Stovetop Moka Pot, so I weigh out just 22 grams of whole beans (because that’s what works for me), I dump the beans in the hopper and grind. So I only grind what I use at that moment. I am actually loving this grinder, you can adjust the grind by small increments and really get different flavors from the same bean by experimenting. Highly recommend.

**Q: Cord storage**
A: No cord storage and cord is not removable

**Q: Has anyone compared this to the oxo brew conical burr coffee grinder?**
A: Yes, I saw a comparison in an email from WIRED and this one was rated the highest.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ At the risk of snobbery...
*by G***T on March 16, 2016*

I already knew what I was getting on this unit so its features are only a plus for me. I don't grind for espresso and there are doubtlessly other (more expensive) grinders better suited for this task. I am a manual brew fanatic, and this grinder is perfect for the range of fine, medium, and medium-coarse grinds. Easy to operate, relatively easy to clean (see Seattle Coffee Gear's cleaning instruction videos). I haven't needed to re-calibrate the burr elevation from the factory settings. Coming from a Hario Skerton manual grinder, it is light years ahead in convenience. Already paid for itself in time and energy saved from cranking out servings. I agree with other posters on the static issue; I gently smack the sides of the grinder before taking out the hopper to avoid a shower of post-grind coffee chaff. Clogging is a non-issue unless you grind cheap, oil soaked beans from Walmart/Costco. I don't mean to sound like a snob, but if you really care about getting better flavor from your coffee, you really should buy better beans for your nice equipment. You wouldn't put AARCO gas in a luxury car, so don't put cheap beans though a +$100 grinder. Plus, there's almost no benefit to precision grinding cheap coffee in terms of flavor. You can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear, and you can't make good coffee with stagnant beans that have been on the shelf for months. If you can't taste the difference, don't waste your money on better brewing equipment. There is NO substitute for quality, fresh roasted coffee beans, and these tools merely add to the ease and consistency of producing coffee at home which matches or is superior to coffee from your local cafes. Edit: two years later, no issues with the grinder after heavy use, probably 50+ lbs/year. Same as the day I bought it. I periodically clean out the coarse and fine bits that get stuck in the hopper receptacle and blade area. What more do you want from a grinder?
