Encore Coffee Grinder vs Virtuoso+ Coffee Grinder: which fits your counter

Encore Coffee Grinder is 4.7 in (12 cm) wide, 6.3 in (16 cm) deep (twinpike.com, 26 September 2026) and height: published figures differ. Virtuoso+ Coffee Grinder is 5.1 in (13 cm) wide, 5.9 in (15 cm) deep and 13.4 in (34 cm) tall (baratza.com, 6 September 2026). Width separates them by more than anything else, 0.4 in (1 cm). With 5.1 in (13 cm) of width or more, both fit; between 4.7 in (12 cm) and 5.1 in (13 cm) only the Encore Coffee Grinder clears; below 4.7 in (12 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 Coffee. If you have the width: the Virtuoso+ Coffee.

Between 4.7 in (12 cm) and 5.1 in (13 cm) only the Encore Coffee Grinder clears. At 5.1 in (13 cm) or more the width decides nothing, and under 4.7 in (12 cm) neither of them fits. (retailer)

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