Disassembly, maintenance, and repair videos made by the company are very much appreciated! While I'm still working to get the bottom burr out of my Baratza Encore, this video gives me a good sense the order of operation, what's still down there, and confidence that I'm not about to snap something off. Thank you!

I just bought one, Mine only has one shim, not 6??

We just bought this and used it for the first time - the quick release knob is stuck! What do we do!?

Big NOPE from me, plus my 2 cents as a Baratza fan: - Room temperature water and three minutes, even with agitation, WILL NOT extract enough from the coffee to deliver the rich, sweet flavors of cold brew. - If you’re adding it to that much ice, why not just use hot water and make a proper iced Americano? Otherwise, the concentration will be way too low, leaving you with watery coffee - or rather "coffee-y water". - That said, the inverted AeroPress might work better for this-you can avoid coffee sticking to the top during pressing and skip the hissing/pushing out particles much easily.

lol, how is it possible to grind coffee to 17 and get this result. I set it to 8-10 and still the water flows through the portafilter so fast. I putted 11 gr, medium roasted. I use delngohi dedica with bottomless portafilter

and into the grinder!

I did try cleaning the coffee maker I had with vinegar and water

Hi! Can i use the single dose cup and base in my original encore? I hate the original basin for the original; i would love to upgrade to the esp dosing cup

In this video, you lift the ring burr out so easily, but mine is always kind of stuck in there and needs some serious finnagling. Is something broken with mine? Or is this kind of normal?

Got that middle tier Sette 270, since I love zero retention and precise adjustment options, while using it for single dosing (I do start the grinder first at 10.0s, then insert pre-weighed beans). My findings tho: - 270 > 30 due to micro adjustment, but keep an eye on that lower wheel will start moving (towards coarser of course) at some point in time - get a replacement felt ring to increase friction again. - motor might just break after a few years (2-5 shots/day), but replacement is pretty affordable (80€?) and super easy - built-in scales? nice innovation, but not my use case.

I had to double-check mine for the red line near the bottom burr. It seems like mine was made before that addition: model 1EP1SP, sereial 1609478.

Is it possible to upgrade/ modify an existing Sette 270 to the Sette 270Wi ?

I just got a second hand one. When I tried grinding at the lowest setting the beans just bounced around and didn't get ground. Turning it up 3 notches made it work I think. Is that normal or fixable?.. I don't use espresso but if it's easy to fix then may as well do it... I think I can hear the burrs touching each other around mark 5 - that's not good - how do I fix that?..

Gah, after I put mine back together, I tore up the rubber gasket. So, I ordered a replacement from eBay not knowing it was a different size than the one for the ESP. It didn't fit at all! When I went to Baratza's website, they said the one I needed was out of stock. I found a vendor in Canada (I live in the USA), and the shipping costs to get the correct part were ridiculous, but I bit the bullet and paid for it. So, buyer beware when it comes to the rubber gasket. And be sure to install it in the correct direction so you don't mangle it like I did.

I get a lot of retention in my baratza esp. Is it because it needs maintenance ?

Why does mine just shit everywhere? I followed the instructions to a T

the washer under quick release nob is gone where do i find a new one?

I have this fantastic grinder, what grinding level do you recommend for making cold brew?

Can you use the ESP to grind regular coffee beans as well ? Looking at this for gift I don't want extra clutter on their counter space.

Where can I find a full guide for more details on grinder calibration? I messed up my calibration settings. Please help

Just purchased, running the ceramic with a light roast into a moccamaster. Dialed in perfectly.

struggling with dialing in... my grind setting for espresso is having to be set above 20, for 18g espresso, its a relatively light roast and fresh beans.. it tastes ok but any lower and it chokes my machine.

The awesome customer support is the reason to buy their products

It's not a gasket! A gasket fits between two static parts - they don't move relative to each other. It's a seal. Seals are for parts that move relative to each other, like a bean hopper and an upper burr holder!

60 gr coffee, 1:16 coffee & water, ice and water 1:1, 500g ice and 500g water. 120g hot water for 30 seconds to begin the bloom Another 380g can use pour method whatever you want, but it need 4.5 minutes to do the whole process

i wanted you to take the shims out ..and even explain which thickness goes on top or bottom.Waste of time.

Hi everyone I got the bambino plus and my espresso always warm almost cold , and I press the hot temperature button, any help please 🤷🏻‍♀️🙏🏼

My baratza encore esp only has 5 shims under cone burr from factory is this ok. Every thing I see from you online says there should be 6. This machine was bought a week ago new

Great video! Thanks for the tutorial.

My burr won’t come out I have tried everything but that thing refuses to budge can’t clean the machine out well as a result any solutions?

FYI that would be counter clock wise….

I inserted my hopper wrong, not matching red lines and now I can not remove…help

This might be a stupid question as I'm new to coffee brewing. As far as I researched there are specific filters used for regular filter coffee machines, for V60, and for Chemex. Please correct me if I'm wrong. If it's correct what type of filter should I be using for the Japanese Drip coffee? Porous, less porous, ceramic, etc.? Thank you!

hi there- thank you for doing this! you mention seeing your full guide in the video.... it used to be easily findable via a search, but i can no longer find it. i probably have a copy of the pdf somewhere, it would be awesome if you could put a link to where this PDF is hosted into the description of this video! another customer was asking below as well...

When I received my encore esp there was no quick release shim and only to washer shims installed with two washer shims extra is this normal or I’m missing some parts

For my dark roast beans, I set 18, the espresso seemed slow, and there was some water left on portafilter, so I changed to 19, and it was like mixing regular black with lot of milk, yuck, so it seems like 18 is the right setting, any idea why changing to 19 gave me water instead?

If you have the older style displays can you swap in the new one? Is there a benefit?

God i regret getting my fellow opus - I've just started getting into coffee and had the fellow recommended to me...biggest mistake ever. This grinder just seems to do everything right and I don't want to be so out of pocket by getting the Encore ESP. Such a shame.

There’s no way to get spare parts in Mexico! Help!

The kit I'm getting!

I have followed the steps provided, but I have not been able to find a finer grinder. The grind remains the same. Can you please advise on how to proceed?

I turned the grind setting with beans in the hopper by a mistake, am I likely to have damaged the machine if I just did this once?

Thank you so much. Today my Forte was shipped to Prague and it did not turn on. After watching your video I was confident enough to open the back part and I saw a 3 cable connector with a Ferromagnet flying around... So I connected it to the free plug and closed it again. NOW it grinded perfect coffee !!!! Thank you.

Got mine as a gift. Brand New and never used and the grinder isn't even turning. Sounds like there are loose pieces inside the unit. Piece of junk

I insert the additional shims rings but the setting of grinder is still the same

Good mill, but it has a weak point, and that is the grindstone holder, it has three little ears that even if you drop it on the kitchen counter, they break, they should improve that piece.

Mine doesn't have 6 shims. I only saw 2

Baratza: I'm a poor college student and have been drinking coffee for 10 years (started at 13). I've been scouring the thrift shops and haven't found either a Breville or Baratza. If you guys have an extra pair lying around it would be wonderful to send it to someone who'd use it for years!

When I turn the quick release knob, it just spins and won't come off. What am I doing wrong (or is the knob bad and need to be replaced)?
