BARATZA M2 Cone Burr (Encore, Virtuoso, Preciso)

I just replaced the original cone burr in my Baratza grinder with M2 cone burr. What a difference! Much faster and quieter grind. Thanks Eight Ounce.

Fist time I've dealt with Eight Ounce Coffee. I thought their pricing was very competitive and after I placed my order the delivery was super fast. Very impressed! Thank you.

Upgraded my Encore to this M2 and am very happy with the results. Quick shipping, fair price and easy swap out. I’m a happy guy.

Old burr was dull. New burr is sharp. Coffee is back to great.

This is a great upgrade for my encore. It was easy to install (baratza has a great YouTube video), it is quieter than the original Burr, and it is more of a consistent grind. My old one was several years old and I noticed a big difference in grind quality.

I was looking to buy a dedicated espresso grinder but was discouraged with the high prices, starting at $500. Little did I know this $50 upgrade would do the job. There are many YouTube videos detailing step by step the process replacing the M2 cone, making it was easy to replace. Well worth it.

Pros
-Faster Grind Time
-Not quieter, but a more pleasant grind noise
-More consistent grind size, less fines
-Easy Install (I went with vice grips from the top)

Cons
- I guess you need to re-dial your grind size, I had to go a little finer settings whether grinding for pour over, French press, or aero press.
-I don’t find it is great for espresso still, but it’s fine, you can pull a good shot most of the time. I plan on getting a dedicated espresso grinder and using the encore for pour over, and immersion brews.

Definitely recommend this burr
