Baratza Encore............Question


 
Website is up but motor/gearbox is out of stock. Since the burr which is part of this assembly is plastic, they probably sell a lot of these...
Same gearbox assembly used on all sette models, 30-270wi

I guess it’s just the gears that are plastic, my bad.

Honestly can't wait to get it back together. Not sure if I'll make it into a "keeper" or a "seller". Right now I have the Breville Smart Grinder Pro I refurbed for sale and the Baratza Encore with the weight control attachment for sale (FleaBay and Marketplace). I think my ultimate "keeper" though will be (if I can find one at right value) will be the Forte' BG (steel burr version), or the Vario W+ (also comes with steel burrs). If I can parlay any of the current lineup to one of those, they'll be my "huckleberry".
I currently have a Vario W. Not as many features as the W+ and has ceramic burrs. They do OK but seem more attuned to espresso grinds than the steel burr models. Although I know I could simply buy the steel burrs for the Vario W and have 90% of the features as the W+ model.
We shall see...............Just hoping they get those Sette motors back in stock soon

Well I got a pleasant surprise today. Apparently Baratza revamped the motor/gearbox assembly on the Sette. and when I emailed them wondering why the web site did not work they contacted me and offered to send a free courtesy replacement saving me about $75.
Gonna have me a darn nice grinder here. Darn good customer support
 
Got another email from Breville/Baratza yesterday. My motor/gearbox should be on it's way very soon. Maybe I will post another thread for "Sette 270Wi" when it gets here
