The Baratza Encore is a conical burr grinder — it's designed to allow for 40 individual grind settings, allowing you the perfect grind size and consistency for drip, pour-over, french press, and other other coffee brewing methods. 

Baratza builds their grinders the way large commercial companies do: almost any part can easily be swapped out making repairs easy. It's likely that this grinder could last many, many years. 

The Encore is Baratza's entry level grinder — it delivers high-quality grinding at low RPMs for better accuracy and consistency, and does so in a way that's affordable for many.
