Baratza Encore (ZCG485BLK4FEU1A)

The Baratza Encore is a precision coffee grinder designed for consistent grinding performance across various brewing methods. Featuring a 40 mm conical burr made of hardened steel, this grinder achieves an even particle distribution that is crucial for optimal extraction. The gear reduction system ensures stable rotation at 450 RPM and minimizes heat buildup during grinding to preserve coffee aroma and flavor compounds. With 40 individual grind settings ranging from fine espresso to coarse for French press, users can precisely adjust for their preferred brewing technique. The integrated pulse button provides manual control for on-demand grinding, while the 30-second timer function ensures reproducible results. The bean hopper holds up to 225 g of whole coffee beans and is made from UV-resistant polycarbonate to protect against light exposure. The ground coffee is directed into a removable grounds container with a capacity of 115 g and a secure lid to maintain freshness. The device operates at 110-120 V with 170 W and features a DC motor designed for quiet operation and long-term reliability. Its dimensions are 14.2 cm in width, 21.6 cm in depth, and 31.8 cm in height, with a total weight of 3.6 kg. The housing is made of impact-resistant ABS plastic with a matte black finish, complemented by intuitive controls and clear grind settings indicators. This grinder represents the successor to earlier Baratza entry-level offerings and incorporates refined technology for improved grinding consistency and user experience in home coffee preparation.
