This is not the only improvement over the Encore, however. That is the number one selling point of this grinder, and there’s nothing else like it on the market currently with this kind of approach to grind settings. The grind settings on the Encore ESP feature two distinct regions, or “resolutions” – the high definition resolution of the espresso side, and the wider resolution of the brew methods side. The transition between the high resolution espresso grinding, and broader resolution for non-espresso brew methods is seamless. The next 20 grind settings, from 21 to 40, have a much broader resolution in fineness settings, giving the owner a range between fine aeropress and coarse moka pot grinds, all the way up to chunky press pot grinds. This provides a usable range of 10 to 15 clicks to dial in almost any coffee for a fine tuned espresso grind. The first 20 have a very high definition resolution between setting clicks, changing as little as 20 microns in burr spacing. In effect, they built two grinders inside the same container, by providing two distinct resolutions for the grind fineness setting. The way Baratza overcame this criticism with the design is a bit revolutionary. The new Encore ESP is based on the venerable Encore grinder, and is redesigned to address one of the Encore’s biggest complaints: that the grinder could not do adequate espresso grinds.
