ENCORE ESP™ OPERATIONS MANUAL
OPERATION
INITIAL SETUP
1. Remove the contents from the packaging and hand-wash the hopper lid (1), bean hopper (2), dosing cup (9), and grounds bin (19) in warm,
soapy water. Let air dry. Do not wash the ring burr (5) in water or it will rust.
2. To install the hopper, align the silver grind setting indicator (3) with the triangle near grind setting 40 (6). Press the hopper down and twist
clockwise into place. The grinder will not start without the hopper installed.*
3. If grinding for espresso, insert the dosing cup base (10) and dosing cup (9). If grinding for ilter brewing, insert the grounds bin (19).
4. To install the on/o knob (11), align it with the stem of the switch on the right side of the unit and press into place. Use either the on/o knob or
the pulse button (7) to begin grinding.
*If there is diiculty in installing the hopper: Ensure that the ring burr (5) is fully seated in place. The grind adjustment ring (13) must be rotated fully
counterclockwise using the adjustment ring tabs (14) for the hopper to be installed.
When grinding into the grounds bin, coee tends to mound up in the center. To prevent clogging, empty the grounds before they reach the max ill line.
RECOMMENDED INITIAL GRIND SETTINGS
The Encore ESP has a unique adjustment system that is divided into two parts: the espresso range (settings 1-20) and the ilter coee range (settings
21-40). When brewing espresso, very small changes to the grind size are needed to ine-tune the perfect espresso shot. The espresso range of the Encore
ESP’s adjustment system allows for these precise adjustments, meaning each grind setting from 1-20 will only change the grind size by small amounts
between settings. More information can be found on dialing in espresso shots in our brew guides at Baratza.com. In order for the grind range to span from
the inest espresso to the coarsest cold brew in just 40 clicks, adjustments in the ilter coee range (settings 21-40) result in relatively larger changes to
the grind size from setting to setting.
Below are suggested starting points for what grind settings to use for common brew methods. Coarser or iner grinding may be needed depending on
recipe requirements and taste preference. More information can be found on this in our brew guides at Baratza.com.

higher number. For lighter roasts, or smaller doses, set the grinder to a smaller number.
