What is the difference between Baratza Encore and ESP?
The Baratza Encore ESP represents a significant upgrade over the original Encore. It offers improved grind quality for filter coffee and adds the capability to grind for espresso, making it a versatile option for home brewers who want to explore different brewing methods. The Encore ESP works quite well as a single dose grinder for pourover, AeroPress and siphon coffee use.Our favorite coffee grinders include the Baratza Encore Conical Burr Grinder and OXO Conical Burr Coffee Grinder. The Baratza is best for ultimate control and adjustability, while the OXO will suit most coffee drinkers just fine with its grind consistency, easily changeable settings, and sub-$100 price point.Burr grinders are the industry standard for espresso grinding and are placed into two categories: flat burrs and conical burrs. The type of burrs, the material they are made of, and their size all affect how consistent your grind will be and impact the taste of your coffee (RPMs of your grinder also play a part here).The high-resolution grind range makes it easy to enjoy rich, creamy shots of espresso while also meeting your other grinding needs with ease, from filter coffee to cold brew. Think of this entry-level conical burr grinder as the ideal marriage of affordability and superior function, down to the included dosing cup.
