If you decide to change burrs (or replace the paddle wheel) without disassembling the grinder base try this. After removing the wingnut use a clean 13/16-inch socket, short extension, ratchet handle and give it a clockwise tap to remove the burr .
Hi, I own a Baratza Encore and really enjoyed your video. I like espresso, but I also love the drip coffee the Encore grinds. I brew in a BonaVida coffee maker. Does replacing the burr affect the quality of the other grinds? Thanks.
Wonderful! Many questions I always wanted to know were all answer Here. And to add"Crema" to the cup, You have Barratza parts for sale here, they are expensive and hard to find elsewhere. Thanks for the lesson!
from my assumption, M2 burr probably will produce less fines because it will cut the beans directly. For M3 burr it probably going to produce more fines because at the initial crushing that beans got squeezed on that flat surface to the wall.
Hello, I'm an espresso enthusiast … 2 weeks ago my wife gave me the new Gaggia Classic Pro and Baratza Encore for my birthday (she doesn't like coffee very much so she chose the Encore following reviews about good grinders on line). .. Sadly, I am having a hard time grinding as fine as for an espresso at the Baratza Encore. What will happen if I swap the M3 for an M2 and recalibrate the grinder to get the best grind (putting the screw in the rightmost hole)? Will I get a good fine grind for the espresso? I really want to buy the M2, but I need some assurance that I will not waste my time or money … Thank you very much! PS - I am really looking forward to buying both the M2 and the Portafilter Holder for the Encore on your website, only if it's worth it.
From what I've gathered, the M2 burr grinds a bit more uniformly. As far as using the Encore for espresso, I think that comes down to how large the steps are between settings. I have an Encore and haven't tried to grind for espresso yet.
I just got myself gaggia as well, I was having issues with timing and then I opened it up and set it to the finest setting and works great, anything dialed at setting 5-7 should give you great espresso timing and fine setting, here's a few videos to look at ua-cam.com/video/JyQ_AywdBRQ/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/tvPmA2laBzM/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/HMVMrQxNXxs/v-deo.html
Great video. I have an Encore with the M2 burr, and it’s recalibrated. It does grind much finer, but …. I am having trouble finding a good grind setting for pour over and French press. Any suggestions for ideal grind settings for those?
The burrs DO NOT last "forever". I needed to replace my burr after 4 years of use. I grind through 2 or 3 lb of coffee a week on average ( lots of people live in my house and everybody drinks coffee ) according to baratza's own literature the burrs should last 10 years with 1 lb a week of use.
Thank you , Maybe you can help me with finding a up graded paddle wheel or a correction I can make to help prevent premature failure of the paddle wheel , Bob.
I’m late to the party, having just stumbled upon this mod. Any idea where the burr can be obtained? Your site is “sold out” and the manufacturer stite doesn’t even list it.
I only need pour overs. Will the consistency be worth it for upgrading to M2? Have you experienced a significantly less amount of fines with M2 on Encore?
Thanks for the information! We have a Maestro Plus. Would either burr work in it although it is fairly old and we’ve replaced a couple of parts over the years. Noticed the grind is a bit inconsistent at the few settings we grind. 500 lbs of beans. Maybe!

Great info! How about a step by step video how to change out this part😃
Coming soon!
@@Frenchpresscoffeelove Thank you! Been wanting to do this for awhile!!

Nice tip! I was thinking about alternative ways of removing the old burr

You didn't mention filter. would the m2 also be better for filter? Does it produce less fines?
from my assumption, M2 burr probably will produce less fines because it will cut the beans directly. For M3 burr it probably going to produce more fines because at the initial crushing that beans got squeezed on that flat surface to the wall.
What about upgrading my Baratza Encore to the level of the Baratza ESP ? Is the burr substitution basically the trick ?
No. They added a different gapping for the ESP grinds than the others. So the ESP can give you more precise espresso sizes

Thank 🙏 you very much for taking the time to properly answer my question.Have a good one☕👍
Do I have to change the "set" of burrs, I mean the upper and the lower one?
I see they are not listed in the Baratza site. Do you guys carry them?
Can't find the M2, it hasn't been on the Baratza parts store for a long while.

M2 all the way to the right will work for pressure portafilters and might work for others. It will go fine, but not super fine

Lo mejor sería uno de muelas planas ya que hará menos particulas
thank you so much sit
this vid helped me make a choice.

This is the main question for me also.
I found much better consistency, less fines, and thus less bitterness in my pour over brews.
This is my question as well!
Where you found the the M2 burr? It seems it not is a official Baratza product.
It's backordered. We should have it back in 2-3 weeks.
Tried to buy the portaholder but I can’t swipeto buy when I got to “buy now” on my iPad mini6
How much is the improvement in terms of noise level?
Sadly, the M2 burrs are out of stock until August

You might need to read this before upgrade baratza.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/GB2.0-Installation-v1.2.pdf
Thank you!
Excellent information. Helps in my back and forth of which to get, the Encore or Virtuoso+.
Will the M2 do espresso?
It could be 2min video stretching is not good
I felt the same way. He repeated several points over and over and over. And over again.
Makes me wonder why they even make the M3.
all the useful info is in the first 3 minutes
Has anyone been able to find the m2 set recently.
Hello John! We should have it back in stock today or tomorrow. Just FYI.
@@Frenchpresscoffeelove Thanks!
