Product Details and Specifications
Over the years, our
Maestro Plus
™
has come to be lauded by coffee experts as THE go-to grinder
for those who love both drip-coffee and manual brews. Building on that platform, we have
developed the
Encore
™
, with upgraded burrs to give a great grind for drip/manual brew and also
fine enough for espresso. The
Encore
also has a completely new gearbox.
Featuring 40 individual grind settings, from fine to coarse, the
Encore
can please any palate with
its gamut of accurate and repeatable grind settings. The Encore has the accurate medium to
coarse grind for the increasingly popular manual brew methods such as pour-over, Aeropress,
Siphon and Chemex. The specially designed burrs give a precise grind with minimal fines for a
flavorful, balanced extraction when making espresso.
And, of course, the
Encore
is built with the quality Baratza parts you’ve come to trust. The
efficient DC motor keeps your beans cool, even during extended grind times, while a combination
of electric and gear speed reducers slow the burr to 450 RPM, ensuring a smooth bean feed and
reducing noise, heat and static buildup.
Beyond a great coffee-drinking experience, the
Encore
makes for a great coffee-making
experience. A convenient, front-mounted pulse button makes it easy to grind on demand into your
brew basket. Whether you are looking for an espresso grinder or a grinder to help you explore that
extensive range of brew methods, the
Encore
is a great all around home grinder.
Burrs:
Manufactured in Europe, the
Encore’s
40 mm conical burrs will grind for many styles of
coffee. Conical burr grinders are exceptional at producing consistent grinds from very fine to very
coarse as well as being durable and will remain sharp for many years.
Gearbox
: In 2012, Baratza introduced the second generation Gearbox (GB 2.0). With GB 2.0,
Baratza has significantly increased the strength and durability of the drive transmission while
decreasing noise. In addition to a new drive shaft, motor mounting plate and bushings, this change
includes a new drive gear made of 15% glass filled thermo plastic which is quieter than the prior
metal gear, wears better and is more shock resistant. During the
Encore’s
rigorous testing
process, stainless steel screws were thrown into the burrs, and in every case the
