Please stop mentioning the original encore when people ask about the new one, it makes zero sense.

They are completely different grinders, with vastly distinct performance. Both still have stepped adjustments, but they perform very differently.

I know the other guy on this thread said that the ESP sucks because it’s not stepless.

I have one, and it grinds pretty fine coffee. Yes, I can’t do micro-adjustments, but then again, I wonder if I would make the most out of it.

Aside from having no timer/dosing function, I really have no complaints, and my coffee just got way way better.
