I just got this, replaced a regular Encore. Wow, a big improvement. Much quieter too.
Did you by any chance try the upgraded burr [frenchpresscoffee.com] in your old Encore? I swapped to the M2 burr a few years ago and the improvement was substantial (way quieter and faster). Would be curious how that compares.

Quote from midwestdealer :
For filter coffee which one is a better choice: Virtuoso+ or Encore ESP?
I can't speak for the Encore, but I've used the Virtuouso+ for the past year and like it. I use a Ninja drip with paper filters and like the Virtuoso's catch bin for the transfer. Putting the empty bin back in slowly is key to not having grounds all over the counter. Some roasts with more chaff will static cling to the Virtuoso's plastic catch bin more than others. I always tap the top cover to knock the remaining grounds into the bin too which helps. I would expect more mess with that given the Encore's catch cup. Regarding setting, I typically leave mine around 18 for drip. Will go coarse only for cold brew pitcher. Maintenance is easy.

Is there a narrower non-espresso grind range in this version versus the normal Encore?
micro-steps from #1-20 for high resolution espresso grinding, and macro-steps from #21-40 suitable for filter brewing methods.

Pods are not great for many reasons including coffee quality. Coffee loses its flavors quickly after ground. The pod you bought are typically ground more than 2 weeks ago.

Grinding your own beans is the next step up in enjoying better coffee flavors. People buy roasted beans, grind it only when they plan to use it.

You could use a manual grinder or electric grinder. Be aware that electric grinder at the same price range is worse than the manual grinder. So if you don't mind a bit of exercise, I would recommend getting a manual grinder at this price instead.

Manual grinder clean up is a much better experience than electric. You'll be surprised how messy cheap electric grinder could be.

I have a regular Baratza Encore and a DF54. I have to spritz water on the beans when using the Encore to avoid static. I've not needed to do the same for the DF54.
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!
