Room the Encore ESP Grinder asks for around it
Nothing is drawn for a figure nobody states, and the answer above stays at what published figures can carry.
We hold 0 of the 8 figures a fit check asks of this grinder, 3 of them in dispute. Nothing fits on its own, it fits a particular counter, so this page holds the figures and a setup makes the call.
Width is disputed at 5.1 in (13 cm) or 4.7 in (12 cm). On a 17.7 in (45 cm) counter either clears. On a 15 in (38 cm) counter only one does, and we will not tell you which.

Where to buy
What owners report
Owners' own words, from reviews and forums, on the things no maker states: the tank, the hopper, the room around the machine. Each one is one voice, counted; none is evidence for a figure.
What owners report about living with it 10 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.
Owner report, not evidenceRead 10 September 2026. Owners' own words on what no maker states; never a figure, never used for fit.

My biggest complaint is that the ring burr holder broke within 31 days of purchase/use
the part that holds the ring burr failed inside the first month for this buyer

a reply says the hopper lid lowers the “how loud it is” and the high tone stays whatever the owner does

There are coffee grounds all over the place
