Baratza Encore ESP Pro Coffee Grinder

What is it?

The Encore ESP Pro is Baratza’s next-level take on their beloved Encore ESP grinder. While the original proved you could make real espresso with a budget-friendly all-purpose grinder, the Pro refines it to the nth degree. Gone are the stepped adjustments for smoother stepless micro-adjustments, giving you much more direct control over your grind size. It introduces a versatile workflow, allowing you to either keep beans in the hopper for everyday consistency or switch to single-dosing brewing. You’ll find thoughtful touches throughout, like a feed control disc for smoother dosing, an auto-stop function that halts once the beans are gone, barista lights, and even a digital grind setting display for easy repeatability. Wrapped in a new metal case, it feels sturdier, quieter, and far more refined than its predecessor.

Who is it for?

The ESP Pro is the perfect choice for the home barista just starting on their espresso journey who desires a grinder that is effortless to adjust and has an intuitive interface. It's also for anyone who wants to move beyond “good enough” grinding into true espresso precision without jumping to a prosumer price point.

Why do we carry it?

The ESP Pro takes espresso accessibility and adds the refinement that the espresso community has been asking for, all at an affordable price point. The stepless adjustment, sturdier build, and flexible workflows mean you can actually grow with this grinder instead of outgrowing it shortly after your espresso journey begins. It’s approachable for beginners, but with enough precision and features to satisfy anyone pulling daily espresso shots. Simply put: the Encore ESP Pro bridges the gap between casual grinding and serious espresso at home, all while keeping Baratza’s hallmark reliability and serviceability.
