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.
Sorry, I didn't know they were that different.
My main point, though, is that it's stepped, which a good espresso grinder shouldn't be. There are other, more expensive, stepped espresso grinders which I also don't recommend.
Something like a Eureka Mignon Silenzio has stepless adjustment and flat burrs. Yes it's more expensive, but I always recommend buy-once-cry-once with espresso stuff. Trying to make espresso on a budget can be frustrating. Espresso should be fun!
Gatekeeping Espresso into more expensive Grinders is kinda the opposite though?
