How we assign awards →The differences that matter
- Burr diameter: 40 mm on the Encore ESP Pro, 83 mm on the DF83 V3 → larger burrs work each bean less per revolution, useful at higher volumes.
- Single dosing: supported on the Encore ESP Pro, absent on the DF83 V3 → only the first is built for weighing each dose.
- Adjustment: stepless on the Encore ESP Pro, micrometric on the DF83 V3.
- Brew methods: the Encore ESP Pro covers espresso and pour-over, the DF83 V3 adds French press.
Which one to choose
Choose Encore ESP Pro if…
Pick the Encore ESP Pro if you weigh beans before every shot: single dosing is supported and grind size adjusts steplessly with no fixed steps. The burrs stay at 40 mm and coverage stops at espresso and pour-over, with no French press.
Choose DF83 V3 if…
Pick the DF83 V3 if you work from a loaded hopper instead of weighing dose by dose: the 83 mm flat burrs adjust micrometrically and coverage extends to French press. In exchange you give up the Encore ESP Pro's single-dose design.
