Baratza
The model owners most often point to
Baratza Encore burr grinder
Coffee grinders owners cite as repairable, with parts and rebuild kits that keep them going.
What owners say
- The Encore is praised for repairability; owners replace burrs and motors with cheap parts to keep it going.
- Longevity reports are mixed, some run 7-10 years while others burned through units; support is still called excellent.
- Some worry the Breville buyout could affect parts availability, though old warranties are still honored for now.
