When grinding into the grounds bin, coffee tends to mound up in the center. To prevent clogging, empty the grounds before they reach the max fill line.
RECOMMENDED INITIAL GRIND SETTINGS
The Encore ESP has a unique adjustment system that is divided into two parts: the espresso range (settings 1-20) and the filter coffee range (settings
21-40). When brewing espresso, very small changes to the grind size are needed to fine-tune the perfect espresso shot. The espresso range of the Encore
ESP’s adjustment system allows for these precise adjustments, meaning each grind setting from 1-20 will only change the grind size by small amounts
between settings.
More information can be found on dialing in espresso shots in our brew guides at Baratza.com
. In order for the grind range to span from
the finest espresso to the coarsest cold brew in just 40 clicks, adjustments in the filter coffee range (settings 21-40) result in relatively larger changes to
the grind size from setting to setting.
Below are suggested starting points for what grind settings to use for common brew methods. Coarser or finer grinding may be needed depending on
recipe requirements and taste preference.

higher number. For lighter roasts, or smaller doses, set the grinder to a smaller number.
