Baratza Burr Set for Virtuoso

Very easy to install on my encore with the baratza video. I noticed the grinder has a somewhat easier time grinding lighter roasts at a finer grind for drip that I prefer with better consistency. Other than that I haven’t tested it much but that’s all I was trying to achieve.

I didn't think our burrs were worn on our Encore based on my visual inspection .... turns out they were. These were a fairly straightforward swapout for the stock ones to upgrade our encore. All the Encores come with the GB2 gearbox so can use the M2 burr set instead of the stock M3. It's a good opportunity to give your grinder a thorough cleaning while it's apart. The trickiest part of the installation is releasing the cover from the base.
Check out Baratza's website for helpful videos for the teardown and installation. Similar to other users - huge improvement in speed and slightly quieter while grinding.

This burr set works perfectly for the Encore which only takes 20-30min. Not only did it improve the grind quality but it’s quieter and faster.

Now that the burr is on I'm really pleased with the results. The one caution I'd give is that the installation is a bit more difficult than I anticipated. The machine is fairly easy to disassemble which is really nice. The only real difficulty I had was getting the old burr off in the last step and then getting the new burr attached to the gear. All in all though between YouTube and Baratza's own documentation it wasn't too bad and as I said, I'm really pleased with the results. Also gave me an opportunity to deep clean the inside of my Encore which was great!

I have 2 Baratza Preciso grinders that needed new burrs and these work great. I really like how Baratza makes all of their grinders very user serviceable with replacement parts and videos available.

Product worked as designed. Happy to give my grinder a few extra years!

I originally ordered just the plastic ring but then cancelled the order with now problem at all. I then ordered a whole new burr set and it was shipped and arrived quickly. Fit perfectly. Would definitely order pieces from them again and would highly recommend to others.
