The Baratza Encore brings cafe-quality grinding right into your home. Designed and built so that you can perfect your grind and make barista level coffee. This stylish grinder is affordable without compromising on quality. With 40 grind settings and 40mm conical burrs, even though this is an entry-level grinder, no corners have been cut. Unlike blades, burrs do not smash the beans but truly grind them. This means consistently sized grounds which allows for proper extraction. All of this leads to a great cup of coffee. Grinding your coffee at home ensures you retain the freshness and unique flavour profile of your beans. The flavour in ground compounds in coffee degrade quickly, and so reducing the time between grinding and brewing is crucial to make the best cup. The Encore’s wide range of grind settings allow you to achieve the perfect grind for whatever brew you prefer, from French Press to Espresso. May suggest taking a look at the Baratza Sette 270.
