Baratza Encore ESP Pro vs Profitec TWIST SD54
Technical comparison · Espresso grinders
Both grind single dose with stepless adjustment, so the choice lies elsewhere: the Encore ESP Pro covers espresso and pour over, the TWIST SD54 only espresso, with 54 mm burrs instead of 40.

The differences that matter
- Methods: espresso and pour over versus espresso only → with the TWIST SD54, filter coffee needs a second grinder.
- Burrs: 40 mm versus 54 mm → for espresso-only users this is the reason to step up; for anyone who also brews filter it doesn't make up for losing pour over.
- Size: 13 × 15 × 34 cm and 3.08 kg versus 12 × 22.5 × 34.5 cm and 5.1 kg → the TWIST SD54 is narrower but needs 7.5 cm more counter depth.
Which one to choose
Choose Encore ESP Pro if…
One grinder for everyday espresso and the weekend pour over, weighing the dose each time. The trade-off is 40 mm burrs, the smaller of the two.
Choose TWIST SD54 if…
Espresso only, one dose at a time, with 54 mm burrs. Pour over needs another grinder, since espresso is its only listed method, and it takes 22.5 cm of counter depth and 5.1 kg, against 15 cm and 3.08 kg.
