Encore ESP Conical Burr Coffee Grinder <\/h3>\n

The go-to entry-level home coffee grinder, optimized for espresso. <\/p>\n

The Encore ESP covers brewing from espresso to cold brew, featuring an integrated micro range to bring ultimate precision to the espresso-fine grind settings. Choose between the grounds bin, for grinding larger batches, or espresso dosing cup, for dosing directly into a portafilter, and with a twist of the hopper to pick your grind setting, you’re ready to grind. The high precision M2 conical burrs will deliver consistent, quality ground coffee every grind. <\/p>\n

Features of the Encore ESP: <\/h3>\n

\n \"Dual\"Dual <\/p>\n

Dual-Range Grind Adjustment: <\/p>\n

This innovative, multi-purpose adjustment mechanism is designed for a balance of ease and precision across the 40 grind settings. Settings #1-20, in the espresso-fine or micro range, are finely spaced apart in order to offer the precision needed in grind adjustments to dial in the perfect espresso shot. Settings #21-40, in the brew or macro range, are comparatively widely-spaced so that the overall grind range still extends coarse enough for cold brew, but still offer the precision needed for manual brewing. <\/p>\n

\n \"Conical\"Conical <\/p>\n

40mm Conical Steel Burrs: <\/p>\n

Manufactured in Europe, these 40 mm conical burrs are designed to excel across all styles of brewing. Conical burrs are exceptional at producing consistent grinds from very fine to very coarse and are durable enough to remain sharp for years and years of home use. <\/p>\n

Easy Espresso Dosing: <\/p>\n

Grind into the dosing cup as-is or slip on the 58mm adapter ring in order to dose coffee directly into your portafilter for espresso, eliminating any fuss or mess in the process. <\/p>\n
