Thank you for purchasing the EncoreTM Conical Burr Coffee Grinder. With the EncoreTM, it’s now easier than ever to make
professional quality coffee. Below are detailed descriptions of
the features that make the EncoreTM stand out from other grinders
in its class.
Conical burrs
The slow rotating conical burrs of the EncoreTM preserve the
aroma and avor of the freshly ground beans. Forty steps of
adjustment provide the ne tuning needed for Espresso, Drip, and
French Press Coffee.
Front mounted pulse button
The front-mounted pulse button makes it easy to grind directly
into an espresso brew basket. The discharge chute is designed to
accommodate any home or commercial espresso brew basket.
Innovative burr calibration system
The range of grind and the accuracy of the settings is truly
impressive. The EncoreTM has 40 distinct settings to enable grind-
ing from to Espresso to French Press. An innovative calibration
system allows all the manufacturing tolerances of the grinder to
be eliminated, resulting in identical, accurate performance from
each grinder.

Before Using Your Grinder
Prior to using your EncoreTM grinder for the rst time you should wash the
bean hopper and ground coffee bin in warm soapy water. See the sec-
tion 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 EncoreTM 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.

6
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. Select the correct grind for the brew process you are using.
40 grind settings are available. The settings shown in the table below
can be used as a general guide-
line. The actual grind size for a
particular setting will vary depend-
ing 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.
Note:
Partially ground coffee beans may remain between the burrs after the
grinder is turned off, adjusting the grind may be easier when the grinder
is running. Avoid running the grinder at very ne settings without beans
as it can damage the burrs.
Setting Type of Coffee Grind
1 to 14 Espresso Fine
16 to 28 Filter / Drip Medium
29 to 40 Press Coarse

7
Manual Switch Operation
You may rotate the On/Off switch clockwise or
counter clockwise from any position without dam-
aging it.
The quantity of ground coffee you need depends
on the type of bean, coarseness of the grind,
brewing method and personal taste.
Front Mounted Pulse Button
For short duration grinding, the EncoreTM is equipped
with a front mounted pulse button. It can be used for
grinding directly into an espresso-brewing basket.
Remove the grounds bin and position the espresso-
basket inside the grinder directly below the pulse but-
ton (see photo). Push and hold the pulse button to
grind. Grinding will stop when the button is released.
Note
It is important that the espresso basket
is held below the discharge chute so
the coffee powder can fall freely into the
basket. Holding the basket up tight to
the discharge chute will cause coffee to
back up and jam your grinder.

Automatic Cleaning
A thorough, fast, and easy CLEANING can be ac-
complished using Grindz™grinder cleaner. Grindz™
is a product designed to dislodge coffee particles
and absorb and remove odors and coffee oil residue.
Simply place one packet of Grintz™into the empty
grinder hopper. Adjust grind setting to 20, and oper-
ate as if grinding coffee beans until all of the Grindz™
has been ground. Once complete, we recommend
passing about 4 Tbs. of coffee through the grinder
to remove any Grindz™residue. Discard the ground
coffee. For additional information on Grindz™go to
www.urnex.com.
Grindz™can be purchased at www.baratza.com
Care and Cleaning
Cleaning the Housing and Hoppers
Switch the grinder off and remove the plug from
the power supply. Remove any remaining beans
from the bean hopper (it may be easiest to tip
the grinder over and pour the beans into a bowl).
Remove the hopper by twisting it in a counter-
clockwise direction as far as it will turn, and then
lift the bean hopper from the housing. Wash
the hopper, hopper lid, and ground coffee bin in
warm soapy water, rinse and dry.
Caution
Do not put the bean hopper, hopper lid, or
ground coffee bin in the dishwasher. Hand wash
only. Do not immerse the grinder housing in
water.

9
Cleaning the Burrs
If the grinder is used daily, the burrs should be
cleaned every few weeks. Cleaning enables the
burrs to achieve the most consistent grind pos-
sible. Cleaning also removes coffee oils, which
can degrade the avor of the ground coffee. Do
not wash the burr.
Remove the Ring Burr
Pull the silicone seal off the top of the ring Burr.
Remove the ring burr by lifting it straight up out
of the grinder by the lifting tabs. If the burr does
not lift out, ensure that the grind adjustment tab
is turned fully counterclockwise.
Cleaning the Ring Burr
Use the bristle brush (included with your grinder)
to remove any loose coffee residue on the ring
burr and the center cone burr mounted within
the motor housing. Wash the silicone seal in
warm soapy water and dry.

10
Replacing the Ring Burr
Ensure that the black adjustment ring is rotated
counterclockwise as far as it will go. Replace the
burr by lining up the red tab on the burr with the
rectangular cutout on the black adjustment ring.
Wiggle and push down rmly on the ring burr to
ensure that it seats properly.
After replacing the burr, replace the silicone seal
by lining up the two slots in the silicone seal with
the small tabs on the top of the ring burr and slide
the seal onto the ring burr.
Replacing the Bean Hopper
To replace the bean hopper, line up the two tabs
on the base of the hopper (with the small tab on
the right side) with their respective slots in the
top of the grinder housing and insert the hop-
per into the grinder. Once the hopper is in place
rotate it clockwise to your desired grind setting.
