just splurge on the encore. if you drink more than a cup a day it will pay for itself in a week. hand grinding is annoying.

eh, sometimes it makes you feel buff to hand grind

i get to be reunited with my handgrinder in two weeks. left it behind at the beginning of the pandemic. i already miss my la pavoni though

no one tells you the negative of the encore. I'm here to set the record straight



it's pretty good at grinding but your counter is gonna look like this all the time and it's loud like a blender

best burr grinder is the capresso infinity plus

i guess i mean best value for money. i'm sure there is some $2000 grinder out there that is precise to 2 microns or something

i have never had this problem with mine. im not grinding for anything finer than moka pot though, if you’re making espresso dust it might be different i guess?

yeah mine makes a bit of a mess I just clean it out with a brush after each use and take it apart to clean it every couple months.

If you get a small spray bottle and spritz your beans before grinding them it helps a lot.

My only complaint about my encore is that it sounds like it's going to wake up the entire block anytime I turn it on in the morning.

how??? mine gets super static-y and the grounds just get repelled out everywhere and the cat hair sticks to it like a magnet. i mostly make drip so it's not even a fine grind

yeah! I got a big problem with the grounds catcher being all staticky too and I don't know how to fix that. it also seems like it has to do with the grind coarseness. grinding at a 12 for aero press, not a problem. grinding at 18 for drip or 24 for French press, more static and mess.

What price range are you looking for? The timemore c2 is about $20 more than the skerton and will give you a far better grind quality. If you want an electric one I don't think you'll get better than the baratza encore.

lookin for a replacement one for my dad. he’s got a hand cranked that doesn’t get used cause it’s “too much work”. under 150 would be ideal but could slip up

The encore is a good choice if he wants an electric one. If you wait till thursdays refurbished ones go on sale on their site.

spray some water on beans before grinding, this is an air humidity thing
