Question 1

I'm having trouble grinding anything finer than around a 7 - if I put it on a 4-6 (for espresso), the beans just pop around - what am I doing wrong?

Accepted Answer

We can easily get espresso grinds at #4 where we like it. We use Peet’s Espresso Forte, and the results have bee consistently excellent for many years. The grind on this machine matches the grind we used to get in-store. We were surprised by the accuracy of the calibration. A #3 grind pulls a bit too slow, while a #6 pulls a bit faster than we like.

Question 2

does this have metal or ceramic blades... i have a manual ceramic, and i like it.

Accepted Answer

European steel burr for the Encore (Baratza's entry level machine)  The next better machines at $100 plus more still have steel, but produce a better grind range with less fine.   Move up from Home to Prosumer models the burr is ceramic but are either side of $500.    Check out www.baratza.com for details.

Question 3

My grinder uses a timer to dispense just the right amount for my French Press. Seems like Baraza will be more irritating work. Is it? How does it go?

Accepted Answer

I measure the beans with a coffee scoop before putting them in the grinder. Works fine, but if you are used to a timer, it may take awhile to get it down. The knob on the side can be turned a lot or a little. If you are unsure, put less beans in than you think you will need. I don't like leaving beans in the grinder. I've been very happy with my grinder. I bought the Precisio after returning the Encore as I do all different coffee preparations. I think the "timing" mechanisms are the same on both.

Question 4

Does it create static and scatter grounds all over the counter?

Accepted Answer

It creates static, but I've owned multiple burr grinders and it doesn't create more than the others I've owned.If you are concerned about that, wait a minute or two post grind before pulling bin to allow the static to dissipate.And no, it doesn't scatter grounds over the counter.
