Replaced a broken DF54 with an Encore ESP Pro and after a month gives an honest opinion.
“I bought the Baratza Encore ESP Pro as a replacement for my broken **DF54**. After a full month of daily use, I feel comfortable giving a complete and honest opinion.”
After a couple of weeks they like their Encore ESP Pro, but the hopper feed stalls and retention is poor.
“Aside from those issues I do like it, the machine looks nice, doesnt seem obnoxiously loud or anything”
Their new Encore ESP Pro paired with a Bambino is really impressive: fine enough with room to spare, quiet, and full of smart features.
“So far I gotta say it’s really impressive.”
Very happy with their Encore ESP Pro with a Bambino Plus for medium and light beans, but even semi-oily beans clog it quickly.
“I also found out that even semi oily beans will clog that machine quickly.”
Their Encore ESP Pro had retention issues until they added an aftermarket bellows.
“I have baratza esp pro and have/had the same retention issue.”
