Baratza Encore ESP Pro vs ECM S-Automatik 64
Technical comparison · Espresso grinders
Two ways to feed an espresso grinder: a small single-dose model that also handles pour over, and a hopper-fed model with a 500 g hopper and 64 mm burrs, espresso only. What decides it is how the beans go in, not the burr size.

The differences that matter
- Loading: single dose versus 500 g hopper → weigh beans per cup and change bags freely, or fill once and grind shot after shot.
- Methods: espresso and pour over versus espresso only → with the ECM, filter coffee needs a second grinder.
- Size: 13 × 15 × 34 cm and 3.08 kg versus 15 × 24.5 × 41.5 cm and 6.9 kg → the first is easy to move, the second has a fixed spot on the counter.
Which one to choose
Choose Encore ESP Pro if…
Suits a kitchen where the coffee changes often: espresso on weekdays, a pour over on Sunday, a different bag each time. The beans are weighed for each dose and the 200 g hopper stays nearly empty. The trade-off is the smaller burrs of the two, 40 mm, and a weighing step before every cup.
Choose S-Automatik 64 if…
Suits someone who only makes espresso and pulls several shots in a row: fill the 500 g hopper and grind on demand, without loading beans dose by dose. The trade-off is no single-dose mode, no pour over among its listed methods, and a footprint of 15 cm wide, 24.5 cm deep and 41.5 cm tall on the counter.
