Baratza · Coffee & Espresso
Baratza Encore Conical Burr Coffee Grinder
The grinder that ends the 'is it the beans or the machine' question. Buy before upgrading the brewer.
Our rating
4.8 out of 5
Forty grind settings and conical burrs in a body that survives a decade of daily use, which ends the argument about whether it is the beans or the machine. Buy it before upgrading a brewer — grind consistency does more for a cup than any extra machine.
