Powering Hundreds of Businesses Including:

You’ve likely spent enough time struggling with inconsistent pre-ground bags or a noisy department store mill to know that your coffee is only as good as the uniformity of your grounds. Transitioning to the Encore is the moment you admit that guesswork has no place in your morning kitchen. Its 40 stepped grind settings provide the repeatable precision necessary to find the sweet spot for a pour-over and, more importantly, stay there. It’s time to stop fighting your equipment and start tasting your beans.

Product Features

40 Stepped Grind Settings

Forty stepped adjustments cover a range from 250 to 1200 microns, letting you move from fine to coarse for espresso, pour-over, or French press. The stepped collar makes it simple to return to a trusted setting during your daily brew ritual.

40mm Conical Burrs

The Encore uses 40mm conical burrs with a precision mounting system to deliver consistent particle size across the grind range. The burrs are removable without tools for easy cleaning—handy when you’re dialing in recipes or switching beans in the morning.

Low-Speed, High-Torque Motor

A high-torque DC motor runs the burrs at about 450 RPM to reduce heat transfer and static so grounds stay cool and less clingy for cleaner extraction. The low RPM also reduces noise—ideal for quieter mornings at home.

Next-Gen Gearbox & Safety

The updated second generation gearbox features a 15% glass-filled thermoplastic drive gear for quieter, more shock-resistant operation and durability. It also includes an automatic thermal cut-off switch that trips if a foreign object enters the burrs, protecting the motor and gears.

Doserless 5 oz Dispense

Grounds are dispensed directly into a 5 oz container with no spillage, making single-dose prep and cleanup fast and tidy on your counter. The doserless design preserves grind consistency and keeps your workspace neat between brews.

Portafilter & Scale Ready

The Encore accepts an optional portaholder for grinding straight into a portafilter and can be fitted with the Baratza Esatto scale to enable dose-by-weight dispensing accurate to ±0.2 g. These accessories let you add practical precision as your brewing demands grow.

The Coffeeionado Take

Who's It For:

  • First-Time Grinder Buyers — The Baratza Encore is the default recommendation for a reason: 40mm conical burrs, straightforward operation, and a company that stocks replacement parts. If this is your first real grinder, start here
  • Drip and Pour-Over Brewers Who Want Consistency — At 0.8 g/sec, the Encore grinds your morning dose in about 22 seconds. Not fast, but consistent — and consistency matters more than speed for filter methods
  • Budget-Conscious Home Brewers — The Encore delivers genuine grind improvement over blade grinders at a price that does not require justification

It's Right For You If:

  • You want a reliable grinder that does one thing well — grind coffee consistently for drip, pour-over, or French press. The Encore does exactly that at 3.1kg.
  • Your daily routine is 1–4 cups and you want a grinder that will not need replacing in two years. Baratza stocks parts, which matters.

Things to Consider:

  • At 0.8 g/sec, the Encore is slow by modern standards. An 18g dose takes roughly 22 seconds — fine for a single cup, but tedious for a group.
  • The 40mm conical burrs are adequate for filter but lack the precision for consistent espresso. If espresso is in your future, budget for a dedicated espresso grinder.
  • At 3.1kg, the lightweight build vibrates more than heavier alternatives. You may want to steady it during grinding.

Our Take:

The Baratza Encore is the grinder you buy when you want to stop buying pre-ground coffee. It is not exciting, not fast, and not fancy — but it is reliable, backed by a company that stocks parts, and it will still be working in five years. That is worth more than features.

Product FAQ

Is the Baratza Encore Grinder suitable for both espresso and filter coffee?

The Baratza Encore is primarily designed for drip, pour-over, French press, and other filter-style brewing. It can grind fine enough for some pressurized or entry-level espresso setups, but it is not optimized for true, consistent, cafe-style espresso shots on standard non-pressurized machines.

Is the Baratza Encore a stepless grinder, and how many grind settings does it have?

The Baratza Encore is a stepped grinder, not stepless. It offers 40 distinct grind settings, adjustable via the numbered collar, ranging from coarse (for French press or cold brew) to fine (for AeroPress and some basic espresso-style applications).

What type of burrs does the Baratza Encore Grinder come with?

The Baratza Encore uses 40 mm conical steel burrs. These burrs are designed to deliver consistent particle size for a wide range of manual and automatic filter brewing methods and are easily replaceable when worn.

How often do I need to replace the burrs, and how long do they typically last?

Burr life depends on how much coffee you grind and how dark or oily your beans are. For typical home use (1–2 pounds per week), the Encore’s burrs often last several years before needing replacement. A common guideline is to consider replacing them around 500–700 pounds of coffee or if you notice a clear drop in grind consistency and cup quality.

What brewing methods is the Baratza Encore best suited for?

The Encore excels at home use for drip coffee makers, pour-over (like V60, Chemex, Kalita), AeroPress, Moka pot, and French press. It can also handle coarser settings for cold brew. While it can go relatively fine, it is not the ideal choice if your main focus is dialing in classic, non-pressurized espresso shots.

Will the Baratza Encore Grinder fit under most kitchen cabinets in the USA?

Yes, the Encore is designed with typical US kitchen cabinets in mind. Its approximate height is about 13–14 inches, which allows it to fit under most standard cabinets, though very low cabinets or shelves should still be measured to be sure.

Is the Baratza Encore hands-free, and how is the grinding started and stopped?

The Encore is not a fully hands-free, portafilter-holding grinder. It has an on/off side switch for continuous grinding and a front pulse button you press and hold to grind. You typically place a grounds bin under the chute; if using a portafilter, you’ll need to hold it in place yourself.

Does the Baratza Encore have timed or weight-based dosing?

No, the Encore does not include built-in timed or grind-by-weight dosing. It runs either continuously via the on/off switch or as long as you hold the front pulse button. For precise dosing, users typically weigh beans before grinding or weigh the grounds after grinding with a separate scale.

Do you ship to PO boxes?

No, we don't ship to PO boxes. Due to the size and weight of our equipment, we require delivery to a physical address where our carriers can safely drop off your order.

How does free installation work?

We want to make your purchase as smooth as possible and will pay the installation via rebate on commercial espresso machines. This includes commercial machines with more than 1 group head and 220V.

If the certified installer needed is over 1.5 hours away then we will pay for the installation call (and install up to the value suggested on page minus call fee). Travel will be paid by customer. Inquire if you have any questions about your location.


Please note, any discounts subject to void the paid installation offer.

At Coffeeionado, professional installation is included with qualifying espresso machine purchases. Our goal is to make the process as seamless as possible — from coordinating the technician to getting your machine up and running on day one.


Which Machines Qualify

Free professional installation is included with all espresso machines of 2 groups or more where indicated on the product listing. This policy applies to espresso machines only and does not cover other coffee equipment such as grinders, brewers, or accessories.

If you are unsure whether your machine qualifies, contact us before purchasing and we'll confirm.


What's Included

  • Travel and labor costs for installation within the technician's service area (up to 2 hours of travel)
  • Setup, basic programming, and commissioning of the equipment
  • Scheduling during regular business hours, Monday through Friday
  • Associated taxes and fees related to the installation itself

Installation must be completed within 30 days of delivery of the equipment. The installation benefit lapses after this window and cannot be reinstated.


How Installation Is Arranged

Depending on your purchase, installation is handled one of two ways:

Arranged directly — In many cases, Coffeeionado or the manufacturer will coordinate and pay the technician on your behalf. We will contact you after your order is processed to schedule the visit.

Reimbursement — In some cases, you may be asked to arrange the installation locally using an authorized technician and submit a rebate form for reimbursement. Once approved, the covered amount will be refunded to the original payment method used for your order.

We will confirm which arrangement applies to your purchase at the time of order confirmation. If you have questions before purchasing, contact us and we'll walk you through it.


What's Not Included

The following are outside the scope of the installation policy and remain the customer's responsibility:

  • Travel or callout costs beyond the first 2 hours of the technician's travel time — if your location falls outside the local service area, the overage is your responsibility
  • Water filtration systems and installation materials — including plumbing fittings, tubing, plugs, outlets, and any other ancillary components required to prepare the site
  • Electrical or plumbing work — site preparation must be completed before the technician arrives
  • Training on equipment operation — installation covers commissioning only, not barista or operational training
  • False start or callout fees if the technician arrives and the site is not ready for installation

Important: If a technician arrives and cannot complete the installation because the site is unprepared, you will be responsible for any callout or false start fee charged by the technician. However, your installation benefit remains intact — the visit will be rescheduled at no additional cost to your policy.


Water Filtration Requirement

Water filtration must be installed and operational before or at the time of installation. This is not optional — operating a commercial espresso machine without proper filtration will void the manufacturer's warranty. If filtration is not in place at the time of the technician's visit, installation may need to be rescheduled and the callout fee will be your responsibility.

If you need guidance on water filtration requirements for your machine, contact us before scheduling your installation.


Service Area

Installation coverage is tied to the manufacturer's authorized technician service area, generally within a 1.5-hour radius of the nearest certified technician. If your location falls outside this area, Coffeeionado will make reasonable efforts to arrange a local authorized technician, but travel costs beyond the 2-hour coverage limit remain your responsibility.

Not sure if you're in a service area? Contact us before purchasing and we'll check your location.


After Installation

Once your machine is installed, we'll provide referrals for authorized service technicians in your area for ongoing maintenance and repairs. Coffeeionado offers lifetime support on all equipment we sell — we're here long after the install is done.


Governing Terms

This installation policy forms part of your agreement with Coffeeionado and is subject to our Terms of Sale and Terms of Service. In the event of any conflict, the Terms of Service governs.

Can I pick up the machine at your store?

We do not have a showroom or storefront for customer pickups, so orders cannot be picked up directly from us. That said, there is an exception for La Spaziale and La Pavoni products, you can contact us to arrange.

However, if you'd prefer, we can arrange to have your machine shipped to a local freight terminal/location for pickup instead. Let us know your city/state (or ZIP code), and we’d be happy to check the nearest terminal options for you.
