Not a huge discount, but a decent price for what I've read is a well-reviewed espresso grinder.

PSA if you try buying this through FB marketplace.

On Facebook marketplace, there is a scam going around with this coffee model. I got scammed by it 2 months ago and I still see a ton of fake listings. The scam is the seller sends your item to the wrong address intentionally and blocks you. Refunds on FB need you to send the seller a message, so they abuse this loophole and FB support doesn't help. Only way out of this is credit card chargeback.
You don't need to buy a $160 grinder for spices. I have a cheap $20 (Hamilton Beach) one and it's more than enough. I come from a culture that uses a lot of spices in cooking btw.

Plot twist: the encore also has static and messy cup issues.

I'm wondering how useful the little espresso grind cup is going to be, given the way my older encore works.
I've seen some YouTubers just spritz a tiny bit of water to rid of static. Would that work here or just clog it?

Price seems good. My neighbor has a Fellow Ode and that thing is awesome. I have learned in this coffee game just buy what you really want even if it cost a little more money.

Virtuoso+ also coming up as $200 which isn't bad either if you want to step up from ESP.

Quote from TiconderogaN2 :
This one does the espresso grind?
I have this model. While it can grind fine enough for espresso, it is not stepless (like Sette) which allows you to dial-in precisely. The Encore ESP is advertised as the one grinder that does it all, from espresso to French press. Basically how this works is that each jump within the espresso range is smaller, compared to each jump outside of the range. I picked this model because I brew espresso, aeropress, pour over, French press, and cold brew, and couldn't be happier with it.

Even a basic but true espresso grinder will be miles ahead of this model, so save up for a Sette if you only consume espresso.

is this one really better than DF54??? I had an impression that DF54 was really good, and exceptional value for money

my only concern about the DF54 is that it hasn't been rigorously field tested like the Encore, and I don't know if there's the same level of support from the manufacturer.

I purchased a single dose bellows for my virtuoso+ that also fits the encore from Amazon. It helped a bit but I think it still gets loose grounds outside the machine. I wasn't sure if the esp has this same issue and that's the only reason I've been reluctant to upgrade to a better espresso grinder for now (yeah I have too many grinders including a barista pro with a mediocre but acceptable to me built in grinder). I use the virtuoso for pour overs, aeropress or my moka pot.

Quote from BeerNomad :
I have a Breville Barista Express with the built in grinder. I typically am doing a double shot with 1 cup of steamed milk and cinnamon. Would I even notice a quality difference with something like this given the milk and cinnamon additions?

Yes the barista Express does not have a fine enough ground and there will be a noticeable difference between the built in and this grinder.
