Baratza Encore ESP vs Baratza Encore ESP Pro
Technical comparison · Espresso grinders
Same 40 mm conical burrs and the same footprint: what changes is how the coffee is loaded and how the grind is adjusted. The Encore ESP runs from a 300 g hopper with 40 click stops, the Encore ESP Pro grinds single dose with stepless adjustment.

The differences that matter
- Loading: 300 g hopper without single dose versus single dose with a 200 g hopper → cups in a row without weighing, or a weighed dose and a different blend each round.
- Adjustment: 40 click stops versus stepless → with clicks you always land on the same position, with stepless you can stop between two values.
- Listed methods: espresso and drip filter versus espresso and pour over → for pour over, look to the Pro.
Which one to choose
Choose Encore ESP if…
One coffee that stays the same for weeks: fill the 300 g hopper and grind cups one after another, without weighing beans. Once the right click for espresso is found, it is easy to return to. The trade-off is no single-dose mode and no setting between two clicks.
Choose Encore ESP Pro if…
Bags that change often: weigh the dose, grind, move to another blend without emptying the hopper. Stepless adjustment allows small corrections when a new coffee asks for them. The trade-off is a 200 g hopper and weighing every dose.
