What do owners report about the Baratza Encore?
11 reports · 4 sources, across 7 topics
- room above: Two reports differ on cabinet clearance: one finds the Encore tougher to use under a cabinet than a shorter grinder, while the other says it fits under the cabinets with a fairly small footprint.
- reaching the hopper: Three reports, two of them from the same forum thread, describe the hopper's gasket: one says a new unit arrived with the gasket bent out of shape, and the other two explain what it does, sealing the joint between hopper and burr carrier and filling the gap the adjustment collar's vertical travel leaves.
- beans that clog it: One report says the grinder gummed up almost immediately when an oily dark roast was ground fine.
- cleaning it: Two reports, both from the same retailer page, note extra cleaning steps: one finds the chute between the grinding chamber and the container awkward, though canned air or a pipe-cleaner clears it, and the other points out the hopper and bin must be handwashed rather than going in a dishwasher.

Makers and retailers publish 3 of the 8 figures a fit check uses, 1 of them with differing published figures; the other 5 you measure on your counter like this:
- Space behind it: Measure from the wall to the front edge of your counter with a tape, take away the depth above, and keep at least a hand's width of what is left behind the machine for its cable and air.
- Space beside it: Measure the open counter between the wall or the next appliance on each side, take away the width above, and check that what is left gives your hand room at the knobs and the steam wand.
- Space above it: Measure from the counter to the underside of your upper cabinet and compare it with the height above; the difference is the room you have to open a lid or reach the top of the machine.
- Room above the grinder to load beans: Measure from the counter to the underside of your upper cabinet and take away the height above; what is left is the room over the hopper, and it has to take the lifted lid plus an open bag of beans tipped to pour.
- Front working reach: Measure from the front edge of your counter to where the front of the machine will sit, and compare it with the length of your forearm; that is the room to lock in the handle, slide out the drip tray and stand at the machine.
Nothing fits on its own, it fits a particular counter, so this page holds the figures and a setup makes the call.
Who is the Baratza Encore right for?
Your counter has 4.7 in (12 cm) across and 6.3 in (16 cm) front to wall to give it.
The one thing to check first
Height: published figures differ, 13 in (33 cm), 13.4 in (34 cm) and 13.8 in (35 cm). It clears any gap of 13.8 in (35 cm) or more; below 13 in (33 cm) it doesn't fit; in between, measure against the machine itself.
When is another machine the better pick?
Your counter has more room than this one asks for. The Virtuoso+ Coffee Grinder (ZCG587) is 0.4 in (1 cm) larger across, in the same category, and we have its width and depth figures too.
What is left for you to check?
Grind quality: nobody here has held one, so there is no verdict.Reliability over five years: nobody here has held one, so there is no verdict.Build quality: nobody here has held one, so there is no verdict.How much power does the Baratza Encore draw?
Baratza Encore draws at 120 V, 0.8 A on the circuit. Every figure behind this is a manufacturer's published dimension, and nobody has put a tape on one.

What owners report
What owners say in their own reviews and posts, on the things no maker states: the tank, the hopper, the room around the machine. We quote them; we never use their words as a measurement or a fit answer.
In short
Eleven reports describe the Encore. Reports split on fitting under a cabinet: one finds it harder to use there than a shorter grinder, while another runs it under the cabinets with a fairly small footprint. Three reports on the hopper deal with the gasket where it meets the burr carrier, one finding that gasket bent out of shape, and single reports call it not super loud, find it heavy enough to stay put and run one-handed, and find the chute awkward to clean. The biggest caution comes from one long-term report on its third unit in fifteen years: the first overheated on a large batch, the second just quit, and the third gummed up almost immediately on an oily dark roast shipped by mistake. The full reports are below, grouped by topic.

for an Encore, it's a little tougher to use when it's under a cabinet

reaching the hopper3 reports · 2 sources
Three reports, two of them from the same forum thread, describe the hopper's gasket: one says a new unit arrived with the gasket bent out of shape, and the other two explain what it does, sealing the joint between hopper and burr carrier and filling the gap the adjustment collar's vertical travel leaves.
the silicone gasket that is placed directly on the burr grinder is bent
a grinder arrived with the gasket that sits under the hopper on the burr carrier out of shape
a forum post, www.home-barista.com · 2015-11-04
It fits tightly to the hopper and around the burr carrier
the gasket seals the joint between hopper and burr carrier and lifts away with the hopper

Show the other 1 report
clearance between the hopper and the grinder is needed
the adjustment collar travels vertically, so the hopper cannot seat flush and a gasket fills the gap
a forum post, www.home-barista.com · 2024-03-21
the poster owns a Vario and is describing how this family of grinders is built, not reporting on an Encore of his own
What owners report about living with it 6 reports
Noise, mess, the first weeks, how it holds up: what owners wrote about the days after the box. Reviews, in their words, counted one by one; none is a measurement and none touches the fit answer.

One report says the grinder is not super loud and calls it a great value for a burr grinder.
Not super loud and a great value for a burr grinder!
