Baratza Encore Coffee Grinder
40mm Conical Burrs · 40 Grind Settings · 550 RPM DC Motor · 227g Hopper · Pulse Button + ON/OFF Switch · Tool-Free Burr Removal — Black + White — Australia Compatible
The Baratza Encore is the world's best-selling entry-level conical burr grinder — and for good reason. Since its launch, it has become the go-to recommendation from baristas, coffee educators, and specialty roasters worldwide for anyone stepping up from pre-ground coffee for the first time. Built around 40mm commercial-grade conical burrs manufactured in Europe, the Encore delivers consistent, quality grinds across a wide range across a wide range from fine stovetop espresso to coarse French press — 40 settings spanning 250 to 1200 microns. It is, as Baratza describe it, the "workhorse" of their range: uncomplicated, reliable, and built to last.
The Encore's DC motor runs at 550 RPM — a deliberately slow speed that reduces heat build-up, minimises static, and lets beans feed smoothly into the burrs without stress. A front-mounted pulse button gives you on-demand control alongside the standard ON/OFF switch. The burr carrier removes with no tools for easy cleaning, and an innovative user-calibration system lets you adjust the full grind range at home without needing to send the grinder in for service. The 227g hopper and 142g anti-static grounds bin handle a full day's home brewing without constant refilling. Backed by Baratza's industry-leading parts, repair, and support program — with spare parts available even decades after purchase — the Encore is one of the most serviceability-forward grinders at any price point. Available in black and white, 230V for Australian power.

Key Features
Burrs
40mm Conical Burrs — Manufactured in Europe
Commercial-grade 40mm conical burrs made in Liechtenstein, Europe — engineered for consistent particle distribution from fine to coarse. Conical burrs run cooler and quieter than flat burrs, generate less static, and stay sharp across years of daily home use. Tool-free removal makes cleaning straightforward
Grind Range
40 Settings — 250 to 1200 Microns — Turn the Hopper
Forty stepped grind settings cover the full spectrum from fine (stovetop moka pot) to extra coarse (cold brew, French press). Each setting is accessed by turning the hopper — no extra dials or tools. Grind range of 250 to 1200 microns makes the Encore genuinely versatile across brewing methods
Motor
550 RPM DC Motor — Low Heat, Low Noise, Low Static
A high-torque DC motor drives the burrs at just 550 RPM via a direct drive gear reduction — deliberately slow to reduce heat, noise, and static generation. Thermal overload protection prevents damage from extended grinding sessions. Grind speed of 0.8–1.1g/sec is appropriate for home single or double dose grinding
Controls + Calibration
Pulse Button · ON/OFF Switch · User-Calibratable Burrs
Front-mounted pulse button for on-demand grinding, plus an ON/OFF side switch for continuous grinding. An innovative burr calibration system lets you adjust the grinder's full grind range at home without tools or sending it for service — useful if your grinder's settings drift over time
Serviceability
World-Class Parts + Repair Support — Decades of Availability
Baratza is widely regarded as the most serviceability-focused grinder brand at this price point. Replacement burrs, motors, hoppers, and parts are available through Baratza's support program — and have been for the grinder's entire product lifecycle. Many Encore owners are still running grinders purchased over a decade ago
Capacity + Design
227g Hopper · 142g Anti-Static Bin · Compact Footprint
The 227g hopper holds enough beans for several brewing sessions before a refill. The 142g grounds bin is made from anti-static material to reduce clinging and is removable without tools. At 12 × 35 × 16cm, the Encore has a minimal bench footprint that fits comfortably in any home kitchen
