Long story short, if you're doing everything except espresso, the Encore is a great grinder. If you need fine enough grinds for espresso, consider sette 30, 270 and 270WI

Few potential issues here,
1. If you're really into espresso you're supposed to clear any retained grounds. So either purge a gram in the morning (wasting beans) or single dose where you weigh what you want and only pour that into grinder and use bellows or similar to clear out the rest, which defeats the grind by weight feature.
2. You're only supposed to change grind setting while motor is running. If you have a loaded hopper, changing grind setting means you're grinding beans. However, if you have a empty hopper because you only put exactly what you want in them this isn't a problem, but then this defeats the purpose of the Wi model.
3. Loaded hopper means you have to wait for hopper to empty before you try different beans.
However, if you're like me where you are just drinking lattes, won't taste the difference of some stale grounds, or can drink something not perfectly dialed in, then this works great. Very convenient for me to just wake up , turn this on and get correct amount of grounds.
Should note, I don't grind directly into portafilter since it makes a bit of a mess with overflow. So I just grind into basket and pour into portafilter that has a dosing funnel on it.

Wi has both timed dose and grind by weight. So you just load the hopper with beans, put portafilter in and get correct amount of grind, usually within .1 g.
