Of course, we’ll get more insight as time passes. I can’t imagine that this won’t affect your espresso and pour over flavors after a few weeks unless you're unusually diligent with grinds path cleaning. Achieve a consistent grind for a variety of brewing needs from French press to espresso and everything in between with the Baratza Encore Black Conical. Gram quantities of accumulated coffee retained in the burrs, burr carriers, and grinds path, is, if true, a lot. u/pauliticiaan has also noted significant retention, but has since been able to get dose-to-dose retention down to about 0.3 g last I checked in.ESP and said that gram quantities are retained within the grinder with regular use (I think he said something to the effect of "1-2 grams" were retained with regular use not talking dose-to-dose retention here but accumulation with a few weeks of routine use). Lance notes significantly more retention with Opus vs.Gram quantities fell out of the chute of the Prima reviewer’s Opus when he tilted it slightly to show its burrs to livestreamers.Retention may be an issue that isn’t getting enough attention here, since we’re all focused on whether or not Fellow’s microadjustment system is a good idea. I think that part of it is the "dashed expectations" (even if not for them)-wanting to see/get so much but then there seemingly were $ limitations as to that (which people recognize, but still also wish they didn't exist). ), they would use the outer adjustment ring and not try to venture to the finer adjustments inside.Įdited to add: I do think that you also raised an interesting point about some people here reacting so viscerally esp. But if I gave the Opus to my elderly parents (well, I can't, as they're dead now. and kinda/sorta like/am not bothered by the Opus system-more fun tinkering around and trying to eke out the best. And it's too bad that Baratza couldn't keep its tighter granularity going beyond the espresso range-I assume that's a cost matter as well (or a Baratza fetish for the number 40 and not wanting to go beyond 40 grind levels, lol). it would have been too expensive, for this price-point, to do the adjustment as a single system on the outside of the grinder-kind of odd when you think of it, that having a "split" adjustment system is less expensive than simply doing a single system). I assume that Fellow chose (had imposed on it) the dual adjustment system because of cost issues related to the technology (i.e. Power Rating (Other): 230 V AC 120 Watts 50/60 Hz.I think that you put your finger on it: the 2 companies really did choose differing philosophies, while trying to keep to a ~$200US price-point-Baratza in trying to keep things simple even if it means a loss of some finer granularity at the filter coffee end, and Fellow in trying to keep as much granularity as possible there even if it means a dual, more-involved setting process.Power Rating (North America): 120 V AC 120 Watts 50/60 Hz.Burrs are easily removable with no tools, making cleaning or repair very easy!.Grinds consistently enough for espresso as well as manual brew methods.It also ensures that the beans feed smoothly into the burrs. This slow speed reduces heat, noise, and static generation in the grinder. The Encore uses a combination of gear and electronic speed reduction to control the rotation of the burr to 550 RPM.
