Good Lord that's expensive!
So..
If someone was just looking for basic grinding, but with the precision of baratza, would it be ok to get the encore for $150? Or are you literally leaving flavor performance on the table?
Like I get it, precision grinding is critical to flavor. But where do the diminishing returns start?
Right now we use the built in grinder on the breville.
And I have a burr grinder that we got dirt cheap somewhere, but it's finest grind is still quite coarse. I use it for the occasional flavored coffee, I know better than to put that through the GOOD grinder.
