INTRO TO ESPRESSO & LATTE ART Workshop
Baratza Encore
The first reason we love Baratza and choose to offer them to our customers is that they make great home and commercial grinders.
The 2nd reason is their reputation for stellar customer service. They are located in the USA and are reachable by phone or email if you ever have the need for technical support and that is something that we always have appreciated from them.
The Baratza Encore has established itself as the benchmark for electric burr grinders for the home. Reliable performance, sturdy construction, and consistent grounds are exactly what this grinder brings to the table, all at a surprisingly affordable price.

Details:
BURRS
Manufactured in Europe, the Encore’s 40 mm conical burrs will grind for many styles of coffee. Conical burrs grinders are exceptional at producing consistent grinds from very fine to very coarse as well as being durable and will remain sharp for many years.
GEARBOX
The Encore utilizes a simple and efficient direct drive gear reduction transmission to move power from the DC motor to the rotating cone burr. A thermal overload cutout protects the motor from overheating due to excessive use - remember, these grinders are designed to grind a dose at a time for home use!
GRIND ADJUSTMENT
Turn the hopper and with 40 settings you can quickly adjust from fine for espresso to coarse for French Press. The grind range is from 250 to 1200 microns.
GROUNDS LEFT IN GRINDER
To maximize freshness, the Encore minimizes the ground coffee left in the grinder.
BREWING METHODS
The Encore is a great grinder for manual brewing and espresso.
MOTOR
A powerful, high torque DC motor effortlessly drives the burrs. This motor turns slowly resulting in cool, quiet operation and permits long grinding duty-cycles. The circuitry is equipped with an automatically resetting, thermal cutoff switch.
CALIBRATION
An innovative burr calibration system ensures that each grinder has the full range of grind. If necessary, the grinders can be user calibrated.
SPEED CONTROL
With unique speed control, the Encore uses a combination of gear and electronic speed reduction to control the rotation of the burr to 550 RPM. This slow speed reduces heat, noise, and static generation in the grinder. It also ensures that the beans feed smoothly into the burrs.
ON-OFF SWITCH
The Encore has an easy on-off switch.
CLEANING
Burrs are easily removable with no tools, making cleaning very easy.
Accessories:
(which may be purchased separately)
HOPPER EXTENDER
An extension that can add 9 oz. of capacity to the existing 8 oz. bean hopper.
PORTAHOLDER
A replacement for the grounds bin that holds the espresso portafilter for hands-free grinding directly. It also makes for easy clean up.

About Our Coffee
Yes — all of our coffees are free from mold and meet strict quality standards. Mold and ochratoxin A (OTA) can develop in poorly processed or stored coffees, but we take every step to prevent that from happening. Before purchasing any coffee, we evaluate water activity and moisture content to ensure it’s within safe and stable parameters. Once it arrives at our warehouse, we monitor relative humidity and storage conditions carefully to maintain the integrity of each lot.
From sourcing to roasting, our focus is on quality and freshness — so you can enjoy every cup with confidence.
From dedicated farmers across the world’s most expressive regions — each coffee reflects its origin, soil, and the people behind it.
We partner with producers who share our values: respect for their land, transparency, and craft. Every coffee has a story, not just a score.
Some are certified organic, although we are not an organic certified roastery. However, all our coffees are sustainably grown. We prioritize farms that care for soil health and community impact.
Yes — always. We roast in small batches so your coffee arrives fresh and vibrant every time.
Brewing & Storage
Keep it sealed, cool, and dry — away from heat, moisture, and light. An airtight container keeps freshness alive.
Enjoy within 4–6 weeks of roasting for peak flavor. After that, it’s still great, just a little softer on aroma.
Fine for espresso, medium for drip or pour-over, coarse for French press or cold brew. The right grind brings balance and sweetness.
Absolutely — our coffees are crafted to shine in any brew method.
Ordering & Shipping
Usually within 1–2 business days after roasting. You’ll get tracking once it’s shipped.
Yes! Subscribe for regular deliveries of your favorite coffee — freshly roasted and hassle-free.
Because coffee is a perishable product, we can’t accept returns once bags are opened. But if something isn’t right, please reach out — we’ll make it right.
Yes. Shipping costs and delivery times vary by country.
Wholesale & Partnerships
Fill out our wholesale form — we’ll connect to learn about your needs and build a program that fits your coffee goals.
Yes. We provide guidance, education, and support to help your team brew and serve coffee beautifully.
Absolutely. We love collaborating to design coffees that express your brand’s identity and taste.
About Us
Husband and wife team Dylan Thome and María Esther López-Thome — coffee educators, roasters, and lifelong students of flavor.
It’s about community — people connected through coffee, moving and growing together.
Intentional sourcing, honest roasting, and meaningful relationships — quality with purpose.
Yes! We host tastings and events regularly. Follow us for dates and details.
About Our Tea
We offer a curated selection of loose-leaf and bagged teas — from classic black and green teas to herbal and botanical blends. Each one is chosen for balance, clarity, and character.
All true teas come from the same plant — Camellia sinensis. The difference lies in how the leaves are processed:
Black tea is fully oxidized for a rich, bold flavor.
Green tea is lightly processed to keep its fresh, grassy notes.
Herbal tea (technically a “tisane”) is made from herbs, flowers, or fruits — naturally caffeine-free.
Yes, most black and green teas naturally contain caffeine. Herbal blends/Botanicals are caffeine-free.
Use fresh, hot water and steep according to the tea type:
- Black tea: 3–5 min at ~95 °C
- Green tea: 2–3 min at ~80 °C
- Herbal tea: 5–7 min at ~100 °C
- Adjust to taste — shorter steeps for lighter cups, longer for more strength.
Keep tea in a cool, dry place, away from light, air, and strong odors. Airtight containers preserve freshness and aroma longer.
Properly stored tea can last a long time. Green teas are best enjoyed within a year, while black and herbal teas can stay vibrant for up to two years.
Absolutely. Our teas brew beautifully over ice or as cold infusions. Just double the leaf amount or steep longer to keep flavor balanced.
