EncoreTM Manual
Thank you for purchasing the Encore™ Conical Burr Coffee Grinder. With the
Encore™, it’s now easier than ever to make professional quality coffee.
Below are detailed descriptions of the features that make the Encore™ stand
out from other grinders in its class.
Conical burrs
Manufactured in Europe, the Encore’s ™40mm conical burrs will grind for any
style of coffee. These conical burrs produce a consistent grind that is accurate
and ne enough to produce Espresso, as well as any brew method you may
choose. The hardened steel burrs are durable and will remain sharp for many
years.

Grind Adjustment
The range of grind and accuracy of settings is truly impressive. The Encore™
has 40 distinct settings to enable grinding from Espresso to French Press, with
the simple turn of the hopper.
Efcient Motor
The Encore™ houses a powerful DC motor that produces more than four times the
output with twice the efciency of a standard AC motor found in most grinders
in this class. The motor spins at less than one-third the speed, making it much
quieter and lower in pitch. Extremely well-made, the motor is built to handle
long-duty cycles. In addition, it possesses a thermal safety device that protects
the motor from overheating and automatically resets once the motor cools.

OPERATION
Before Using Your Grinder
Prior to using your Encore™ grinder for the rst time you should wash the bean
hopper and ground coffee bin in warm soapy water. See the section on Care
and Cleaning for instruction on how to remove and reinstall these parts. There
may be some rust on the burrs when you receive your grinder. This is normal
and will disappear after a small amount of coffee has been ground. To remove
the rust and season the burrs, grind 1/4 pound of coffee and discard.
Initial Operation
Place the Encore™ on a level surface and plug into a correct voltage, AC outlet
only. Remove the lid from the hopper by lifting off. Pour the desired quantity of
roasted whole coffee beans into the hopper up to a maximum of 8 oz. Replace
the lid. Ensure the ground coffee bin is fully inserted.

Setting the Grind Control
Slowly rotate the bean
hopper clockwise or
counter clockwise to
align the indicator on
the bean hopper with the
desired number setting
on the grind scale. (Lower
number=smaller particle
size) Select the correct
grind for the brew process
you are using.
Turning the hopper to the right (counter-clockwise) produces a bigger particle
size and left (clockwise) produces a smaller particle size.
The settings shown in the table below can be used as a general guideline. The
actual grind size for a particular setting will vary depending on many factors
including: degree of roast (light vs. dark), freshness, humidity, type of bean, oil
content, etc. With use, you will determine the setting that is right for your taste,
brewing style and your favorite beans.
