Update to my review below. I contacted Baratza about the grounds "mess" I mentioned. They immediately responded with several ideas to remedy the issue. Seems it was entirely static electricity causing it. Their recommendation, stirring the beans with a wet spoon prior to putting them into the hopper, completely eliminated the problem. I was skeptical, but am now a believer. Baratza followed up several times to make sure I was satisfied. Great product, great customer service.

I purchased this grinder to replace my Capresso Infinity grinder of 15 years.... it is a good grinder that can take the heavy that my brother and I give it. We each grind 50 grams of coffee a day at a minimum. The grind is uniform and With the new grinder I should have maybe replaced the burs on the previous one. I also like the fact that the company has great product support for replacement parts. It is a good grinder that will last years with proper maintenance and care.

I've been wanting this grinder for a while, and when CBC had the 'free shipping' promotion, decided the time was right. I went through the normal progression over the years, blade grinder, cheap burr grinder. This summer I purchased a stainless steel burr hand grinder for camping, noticed the improved quality of the grind compared to my Cuisinart, did my research, and decided to pull the trigger on the Encore. Unboxing it, the first thing you notice is the heavy, solid feel of the unit. I put it together, and ground a 30 gram batch of beans to 'season' it. The difference in quality from the Cuisinart was again immediately apparent. This morning I ground my usual 60 gram dose for our morning coffee in our Behmor Brazen. Beautiful grind. While brewing, I really noticed an increased wonderful, strong aroma filled the house. But improving the taste of the finished product is the real goal. I brewed the exact same coffee as the previous day, Bolivian Caranavi La Paz, a good everyday drinker. The taste was so much better. Of course, I subconsciously 'wanted' it to be better, having just forked out $170 on it, so I waited for my wife's reaction. She had no idea she was being used as a guinea pig. Her first words were, "Holy cow, what coffee is this!!" So yeah, grind quality has a huge impact on taste. The only cons of this unit are 1.) A silicon gasket that has to be installed over a burr is somewhat of a pain, and 2.) A small amount of grounds tend to collect in the bottom of the collection hopper 'housing'. I've also read that it's not the best for everyday espresso prep. I rarely have espresso, so not a huge deal for me. If you are on the fence about spending $170 for a coffee grinder, be assured that it absolutely will have a positive effect on your favorite brew.

Great product. It was quieter than I was expecting a grinder to be. It grinds consistently from between 15-30, but I never went above or below those settings. Over all I would purchase this product again.

This is my first burr grinder and it was easy to set up and use. Still learning to dial in the right grind for me. Like my coffee strong so have been setting the grind lower to get the flavor I want. Recently got an espresso machine and haven't tried an espresso grind yet. Went online to get the full brochure and really love the ability this company offers for self-repairs. Looking forward to using this grinder for a very long time.

I am not a complainer so I give this a five star. It works very well , grinds nice and is easy to use. The reviews that said it is noisy and messy, I agree, but I would say it is not excessive. I will say this though, if you plan to grind enough beans to make 90 cups of coffee for a wedding … plan on it taking you a good hour or consider buying something that will grind quicker.

Absolutely amazing. I’ve used for years. Replaced cuisinart. It holds up. Customer service very responsive. Easy to clean but really doesn’t need it. I’ve done many times but the way it works there isn’t a whole lot of build up. If it ever breaks down, which it hasn’t in 6 plus years, I will get another. We use several times a day.

Encore great entry level grinder that performs as advertised. Little on the noisy side and very messy unless mist beans prior to grinding. Fast shipping and customer service first rate. Good product. Good company to deal with.

First burr grinder and the difference and ease of getting your grind right is amazing. I use three brewing methods depending on the time of the day and can finally get each one to taste right every time. The four stars is for the loudness. Don't know if all burr grinders are this loud.

It's slower than I thought it might be, but it does a really excellent job. You can put a half pound of roasted beans in the hopper, but you probably want to dump the bin in the middle. It's a bit loud, but for the most part it's a once-a-day operation. What I really like is that it's easy to take down for cleaning and reassemble afterward.

My first burr grinder. It's amazing the difference in uniformity of the grind compared to my trusty Krups blade grinder. And the taste of that first cup sealed the deal. I was skeptical that it would make a big difference, but it really does. Be very careful and patient when installing the silicone gasket (which comes hidden in the bin --at first I thought I was missing a part). It doesn't slip on easily, which means it won't slip off easily. Take your time and get it right.
