Baratza Encore ESP Burr Coffee Grinder

After weeks of rigorous testing, we’re thrilled to share our insights on the Baratza Encore ESP – a brilliantly engineered evolution of the classic Encore that’s been specifically optimised for espresso brewing.
What sets this grinder apart is its innovative dual-purpose design.
Not only does it excel with traditional espresso baskets, but it also performs beautifully with pressurised portafilters and manual brewing methods.
The real genius lies in its refined adjustment mechanism.
The first 20 settings feature precisely calibrated, closer-together steps that allow for exact espresso dial-in.
Through clever engineering, Baratza has created a steeper thread pitch for settings 20-40, resulting in significantly smaller burr gap adjustments per click.
This sophisticated approach delivers the super-fine consistency essential for crafting exceptional espresso.

Description

In addition to the standard hopper, we’ve found that pairing this grinder with Baratza’s single dose attachment creates an incredibly practical setup. During our testing, we were particularly impressed with the ESP’s innovative dosing cup design. Its adjustable gasket accommodates both 53/54mm and 58mm portafilters – a thoughtful feature that makes this compact grinder surprisingly versatile.

Key Specifications:

  • 40 distinct grind settings
  • Premium 40mm M2 Etzinger stainless steel conical burrs
  • Straightforward operation with on/off switch and pulse button
  • Space-saving dimensions: 13cm width, 15cm depth, 34cm height
  • Bean capacity: 227g

As coffee professionals, we’ve long respected Baratza (now part of the Sage/Breville family) for their reliable, well-engineered grinders. While the ESP is their latest offering, our extensive testing suggests it upholds their reputation for quality. We believe it offers exceptional value in the espresso grinder category at this price point.

When our team considers grinders around the £200 mark, the ESP consistently makes our shortlist, alongside the Sage Smart Grinder Pro & Dose Control Pro. Based on our hands-on experience, it delivers impressive performance for its price range.
