Encore
A straightforward entry-level grinder for everyday filter coffee and pour-over brewing.
Where to buy
The object
The original Encore is a simple starting point for grinding beans at home. Its hopper adjustment, on/off switch, and front pulse button keep the controls straightforward, making it an approachable match for everyday drip coffee and manual filter brewing.
This is the filter-focused model in the Encore family. Buyers who want to dial in espresso should consider the Encore ESP or stepless ESP Pro instead. For someone who chiefly brews filter coffee, the original Encore offers a lower purchase price without the extra espresso controls of those models.
