Clean a Baratza Encore: brush the burrs dry, never rinse them

The original Encore manual separates washable plastic parts from rust-prone burrs. Unplug, dry-brush, hand-wash selected parts and reassemble carefully.

Old grounds and oils can build up inside a frequently used grinder. This guide follows Baratza's December 2022 manual for the original Encore, not the Encore ESP or every Baratza model. Never handle the burrs with power connected or submerge the motor housing.

1. Empty the hopper and run out remaining beans normally. Switch off and unplug before touching removable components.
2. Set the grind adjustment toward the specified coarse position near 40, rotate the hopper counterclockwise and lift it off without forcing it.
3. Align the red indicators and lift the removable ring burr by its tabs. Keep the small hopper gasket safe.
4. Use the supplied brush to remove dry grounds from the ring burr and the internal cone burr. Never wash metal burrs with water or soap.
5. Hand-wash only the grounds bin, hopper, lid and hopper gasket in warm soapy water. Rinse and air-dry completely; never immerse the housing or use a dishwasher.
6. Reinstall the burr and hopper using the manual's alignment marks. For daily use, brush the burrs about monthly; stop and seek official support if grinding or operation seems abnormal.
