{"product_id":"encore-coffee-grinder-black","title":"Encore Coffee Grinder - Black","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Baratza Encore in matte black is the grinder we point new home brewers to first, and the one a lot of long-time enthusiasts still use ten years in. It handles drip, French press, pour-over, and AeroPress without drama, and the black finish disappears into a darker counter setup if a white grinder would feel out of place.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy it works\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e40 grind settings, fine to coarse.\u003c\/strong\u003e Wide enough range that one grinder covers V60, AeroPress, drip, French press, and cold brew without compromise on any of them.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConical steel burrs, German-made.\u003c\/strong\u003e Designed in Seattle, burrs produced in Germany.

Run a few grams of beans through after unboxing to season the burrs, then pick a starting setting based on your brew method (15 for AeroPress, 20 for V60, 30 for French press is a reasonable starting map) and adjust by feel from there. A soft brush every couple of weeks keeps the burr chamber clean.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho it's for, who it isn't\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt fits anyone moving off pre-ground for the first time, plus pour-over, drip, AeroPress, and immersion brewers who want repeatable grind without spending in Fellow or Baratza Vario territory. It's not the right pick for dedicated espresso; the Encore can grind fine enough, but for daily espresso work the Encore ESP or a step-up like the Sette 270 is the better tool.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSee it in action\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Pwx_s5AAy4U\" height=\"315\" width=\"560\" allowfullscreen=\"\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" frameborder=\"0\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/mcKrBwJ49WY\" height=\"315\" width=\"560\" allowfullscreen=\"\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" frameborder=\"0\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eBuilding a home setup from scratch?
