Was shopping for this well reviewed grinder and came across this. RRP is $349.
I ended up getting JB Hi Fi to price match ($293.01 plus $5.99 shipping) so I'll have it in 4 days instead of 3-4 weeks.

Not as cheap as https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/830557 but TGG Commercial membership isn't required.

  Is this the way to go for an entry level better than the smart grinder?

    DF54 is the entry level king but it's around $450

  I’ve had one of these for a few years. The grinder itself is ok but the support is crap.

  Mine was not aligned correctly and as a result the plastic lugs holding the burr were constantly breaking resulting in a shit grind.

  Baratza support suggested there was rocks in my beans so I started sorting through beans to make sure there were no rocks but the problem continued.

  Instead of repairing/replacing the grinder under warranty they just made me purchase parts to repair it myself.

  It wasn’t easy pulling it apart and replacing components but I got it to a point where it works but still isn’t quite right.

    DF54 has flat burrs and is single dose whereas Baratza Encore has conical burrs and a hopper.

    Generally speaking, flat burrs generally provide more clarity while conical burrs more complexity. For espresso, I prefere complexity (so Baratza) but the DF54 is a fun machine to work with. If you go DF54, I'd recommend ordering directly from them (https://df64coffee.com/en-au/products/df54). I had a good experience buying my DF64 Gen 2 from that website.

      Can you describe more about clarity vs complexity?

      Thanks! I went with the DF54 but from Alternative Brewing simply for the dodgy pricing they had on df64coffee.

      $358 + $80 shipping? gtfo!

  These are utterly horrific for noise unless they've revised it recently. I certainly didn't want to hear the encore.

  I bought one over the weekend. Definitely not an upgrade over my stock grinder in my Express Impress. This would pair well with a standalone machine that has no grinder to bring up to spec of the express line and up. But don't go buying this as some sort of upgrade.
