baratza encore
a dependable filter grinder that earns its price
the baratza Encore has been a go-to home filter grinder for years, and it still holds up. stainless steel conical burrs, 40 grind settings, and low static make it a solid pick for drip, pour-over, french press, and chemex. grind retention sits around 0.5 grams, which is genuinely good at this price. it runs at 80 decibels, so it's not quiet, and espresso is off the table. at $149.95, it's not cheap, but the parts availability and repairability make it worth it.
