BURRS
Manufactured in Europe, the Encore’s 40 mm conical burrs will grind for many styles of coffee. Conical burrs grinders are exceptional at producing consistent grinds from very fine to very coarse as well as being durable and will remain sharp for many years.
GEARBOX
The Encore utilizes a simple and efficient direct drive gear reduction transmission to move power from the DC motor to the rotating cone burr. A thermal overload cutout protects the motor from overheating due to excessive use - remember, these grinders are designed to grind a dose at a time for home use!
GRIND ADJUSTMENT
Turn the hopper and with 40 settings you can quickly adjust from fine for espresso to coarse for French Press. The grind range is from 250 to 1200 microns.
GROUNDS LEFT IN GRINDER
To maximize freshness, the Encore minimizes the ground coffee left in the grinder.
BREWING METHODS
The Encore is best for any filter or immersion brew method, from finely ground filter coffee to coarsely ground immersion methods. The Encore will work well for espresso using pressurized baskets, but would not be ideal for standard portafilter baskets.
MOTOR
A powerful, high torque DC motor effortlessly drives the burrs. This motor turns slowly resulting in cool, quiet operation and permits long grinding duty-cycles. The circuitry is equipped with an automatically resetting, thermal cutoff switch.
CALIBRATION
An innovative burr calibration system ensures that each grinder has the full range of grind. If necessary, the grinders can be user calibrated.
SPEED CONTROL
With unique speed control, the Encore uses a combination of gear and electronic speed reduction to control the rotation of the burr to 550 RPM. This slow speed reduces heat, noise, and static generation in the grinder. It also ensures that the beans feed smoothly into the burrs.
ON-OFF SWITCH
The Encore has an easy on-off switch.
CLEANING
Burrs are easily removable with no tools, making cleaning very easy.
