Ok so
IM SO SXCITED
Sadly, the Baratza Encore is NOT meant for espresso, and the hand grinder I ordered won’t be here until tomorrow so I won’t be able to really dial in until then.
A few observations though:
1: I LOVE THIS. Seeing the first few drops was magical
2: The FINEST grind setting on the encore I was only able to get at most 4 bars of pressure. Espresso machines typically pull at 9 bars 🙃
5: Once I get my grinder and have my whole thing set up I’ll try to figure out a way to set up my phone so I can take a video of a shot pulling because it is honestly just so beautiful
