☕ - The hot beverage that powers the world!
Coffee gadgets - It's always great to learn about new gadgets. Please share your favorite hardware or full setups. It might inspire newcomers to experiment!
Local businesses - Please promote your local businesses. If you are not the owner of the business you are promoting, kindly ask the owner if it's okay. It would be great if the business has a physical store to include an exterior or interior shot.

Wow. I was only planning on educating myself and then hunting for a bargain on ebay and charity shops. But this reads like a truly genuine endorsement that I might just go for that. Not sure yet but I'm definitely considering!
I was using a hand grinder for years before i finally decided to plunk down the $ on a good electric grinder. Based on the reviews I'd read over the years the Encore really seems like the best grinder for the $, even though it's relatively expensive. If you're gonna use it daily, it's a worthy investment. It's fast, reliable, consistent, and it's also built to be taken apart for cleaning/maintenance. It's one of these situations where "buy once, cry once" could apply.
If looking for a bargain, you can always try to score one open box on eBay...
Did Baratza stop selling refurbs? I got mine as a refurb but don't see a page for refurbished ones on their site.
