What do owners report about the Baratza Encore ESP?
13 reports · 4 sources, across 6 topics
- static and mess: Three reports split on mess: one says grounds come out the sides of the machine, and another finds it messier and more prone to static than an earlier Baratza that lasted twenty years. The third says static has never been a problem, even with indoor humidity at 10%.
- the first weeks: Two reports describe an early part failure: in one, the ring burr holder broke within 31 days of use, and in the other the internal paddlewheel broke in under a month, leading to a warranty repair.
- how it holds up: Two reports raise durability: one, written after going through more than one unit, calls the grinder cheaply made, and the other, written on a third or fourth Baratza grinder, says the burrs wear out and should be sold as replacements.
- cleaning it: Two reports find upkeep difficult: one says the collection cup is hard to reseat consistently, and the other calls the grinder a nightmare to clean.

Makers and retailers publish 3 of the 8 figures a fit check uses; 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 ESP right for?
Your counter has 4.7 in (11.9 cm) across and 6.3 in (16 cm) front to wall to give it, with 13.8 in (35.1 cm) clear above.
The one thing to check first
Depth is published at 6.3 in (16 cm), and it is the figure most likely to end this search. Measure the space you have against it before anything else. Measure from the very back of the item to the very front, at its deepest point. (retailer)
When is another machine the better pick?
Your counter is tighter than that. The Skerton Pro Ceramic Coffee Mill (MMCS-2B) is 6.1 in (15.5 cm) shorter, in the same category, and we have its width, depth and height 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 ESP draw?
Baratza Encore ESP draws 70 W 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
Thirteen reports describe the Encore ESP. The biggest caution is the first weeks: one report's ring burr holder broke within 31 days, and another's paddlewheel broke in under 30, leading to a warranty repair. Noise splits reports: three find it loud or high-pitched, while one finds it much quieter than the Sette 30 it replaced. Mess draws more complaints, with two reports of grounds escaping the body and two finding it hard to clean, though one has never had a static problem even at ten percent humidity. The full reports are below, grouped by topic.

the first weeks2 reports · 2 sources
Two reports describe an early part failure: in one, the ring burr holder broke within 31 days of use, and in the other the internal paddlewheel broke in under a month, leading to a warranty repair.
My biggest complaint is that the ring burr holder broke within 31 days of purchase/use

Two reports raise durability: one, written after going through more than one unit, calls the grinder cheaply made, and the other, written on a third or fourth Baratza grinder, says the burrs wear out and should be sold as replacements.
This grinder is cheaply made, creates a mess, wastes product, is loud

Three reports split on mess: one says grounds come out the sides of the machine, and another finds it messier and more prone to static than an earlier Baratza that lasted twenty years. The third says static has never been a problem, even with indoor humidity at 10%.
MESSY coffee comes out the sides of the machine(where it shouldn't)

how loud it is3 reports · 2 sources
Three reports, two of them from the same forum thread, split on noise: one finds it much louder and higher pitched than a Vario, a second says running with the hopper lid on helps but a high-pitched tone remains, and the third finds it quieter and more compact than the Sette 30 it replaced.
The ESP is way, way louder and higher pitched
an owner who compared the ESP against a Vario in one household finds it markedly louder and higher in pitch

always run with the lid on the hopper. Still going to have that high-pitched tone
a reply says the hopper lid lowers the “how loud it is” and the high tone stays whatever the owner does

The size, and where each figure comes from
Baratza Encore ESP is 4.7 in (11.9 cm) wide, 6.3 in (16 cm) deep and 13.8 in (35.1 cm) tall (seattlecoffeegear.com, 26 September 2026). The weakest figure behind this comes from a retailer listing, not the manufacturer.
