Two products, and a counter we have not seen

Encore ESP vs Smart Grinder Pro: which fits your counter

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). Smart Grinder Pro is 6.3 in (16 cm) wide, 8.5 in (21.5 cm) deep (breville.com, 23 September 2026) and 15.3 in (38.9 cm) tall (breville.com, 6 September 2026). Depth separates them by more than anything else, 2.2 in (5.5 cm). With 8.5 in (21.5 cm) of depth or more, both fit; between 6.3 in (16 cm) and 8.5 in (21.5 cm) only the Encore ESP clears; below 6.3 in (16 cm) neither does. The weakest figure behind this comes from a retailer listing, not the manufacturer.

Your counter decides it.

If the counter is tight: the Encore ESP. If you have the depth: the Smart Grinder Pro.

Between 6.3 in (16 cm) and 8.5 in (21.5 cm) only the Encore ESP Grinder clears. At 8.5 in (21.5 cm) or more the depth decides nothing, and under 6.3 in (16 cm) neither of them fits. (retailer)

We are not picking one. Your counter picks it, and yours is the measurement missing from this page.
