I know a lot of people say the Baratza Encore grinder isn't specifically designed for producing the perfect espresso shot, which is fair. But for beginners it's great value for money for an entry level automated grinder. I am able to get a good espresso shot using a Delonghi dedica EC685 with an unofficial non-pressurized portafilter basket, using grind settings between 3-5 and altering tamping pressure, depending on coffee beans used etc
