If you are planning to make espresso the encore does work. If you want even finer ground you can also replace the burr with the M2 (part 6175) that is for the esp but is compatible for the encore. Google it for people and baratza explaining how and why do the upgrade). You can get it here https://www.baratza.com/en-us/lan...duct/parts
While you browse this page notice how ALL the parts are available. Quite refreshing.

Baratza is my go-to recommendation these days for coffee grinders. As some others have mentioned, they are designed to be kept OUT of landfills via readily available replacement parts and relatively easy servicing. What people don't know as much, is that their own servicing options are pretty affordable and top notch, even for grinders out of warranty. My 10 year old Encore starting having issues with grind size inconsistency and I tried to fix it myself a few times without success. During that process they sent me multiple small parts, usually for free. Finally I reached out to their servicing and got a quote to send in my grinder to repair and upgrade to the M2 burrs, and the final out of pocket cost to me was $78 including any shipping charges. It would have cost me at least $40 just for the M2 parts kit. Now I have essentially a Virtuoso+ (for much less cost) without having to scrap my old Encore. Customer for life as long as they keep this ethos , customer service and making quality products.

Assuming people here who are in the market for this know the ESP has additional 'finer' grind settings than the normal encore grinder. If you aren't grinding coffee for espresso, you don't need the ESP. I have it and it's great but my super automatic has an integrated grinder.

Although you still get a little of a mess over time. I'd like to get the Sette or Niche Zero but can't justify the cost with my current setup.

I have an OXO brew grinder. I recently bought an espresso machine (Bambino Plus). Is it worth also investing in the ESP version of this grinder?
Yes, you need an espresso capable grinder with very fine adjustment.

It's worth noting that these grinders are a solid value for the output, but if you think it might be annoying to hear what sounds like a wolverine fighting a wood chipper while you're grinding your coffee you may want to look elsewhere.
That is a necessary evil for home grinders, even professionals grinders.

In my limited experience, I've never heard a grinder that wasn't loud.

My wife leaves the kitchen and closes a door to another room when I use my OXO.

Can confirm: Either I'm in a three way with the wolverine and a wood chipper, or fending off a gang-up from the rest of my house.

Pro grinders are absolutely not all that loud. I remember sitting in a busy coffee shop one day when I realized that their Mahlkonig was almost silent and I started shopping for something different for home.

I do mostly auto drip and have been happy with the fellow opus I got on sale a week or so ago. It's relatively high pitched but it is much quieter.

I had and sold a rancilio rocky that was fairly quiet but a bit fussy and I hated the doser. I had a delonghi that was ok, but a little annoying and I am working on selling a mazer mini that is quiet but really designed for my use case.

What is the quietest and most inexpensive option that can achieve an espresso grind?

I understand that is may still be a chunk of change, but the noise factor is very important to my home.

I'm not sure. A used mazzer mini is probably around 3-400 and could do that. I don't know how loud the fellow ode gen 2 is but I think they are espresso quality.

I found out the hard way that you HAVE to buy an upper-level burr grinder.
.
You just cannot get a consistent grind with low cost units. Medium and coarse coffee grounds always contain a certain amount of very fine powder grounds.

You should hear my Mahlkonig K30, for the 7 seconds it grinds my shot..running water in the sink is louder.

Look towards metal cases, like Eureka...built like a tank, easy clean and replaceable burr sets, with a wider range of adjustments compared to this Baratza, even ESP.

This is a great deal. True BIFL grinder add multiple servicing options are available if you should ever need it. Baratza as a company is also fantastic. As was said earlier, I had a similar experience where I was able to buy replacement parts for my 16 year old grinder and got it running smoothly with 20-30 minutes of labor while watching their detailed video instructions.

Is the OXO worth returning for this if I plan to only make coffee with my newly aquired technivorm??
A 3rd agreement here. I have both (non ESP) for drip. I rather use the OXO. Quieter and faster.
