I tried using this for pour-over coffee, and the grind consistency just isn't there for coarser settings. It produces too many fines and boulders, which leads to over-extracted and muddy coffee. While it's advertised for espresso, I expected more versatility.
The Baratza Encore ESP has completely changed my espresso preparation. The grind settings are incredibly precise, and getting that perfect crema is now a regular occurrence. The hopper adjustments are super simple, and the dosing cup is a fantastic addition that makes my morning routine so much smoother. The overall build quality feels very durable.
Produces great espresso grind, but it can be a bit noisy.
Stopped working completely after only a few weeks of light use.
