| Description | The Specialita is Eureka's benchmark home espresso grinder. Its 55mm flat steel burrs, ACE (Anti-Clump & Ejection) system, and silent technology deliver consistent espresso grinds at near-silent operation. Stepless adjustment and a backlit LCD timer make dialling in a pleasure. | Baratza updated their legendary Encore with espresso in mind. The ESP uses a redesigned burr carrier that narrows the range toward finer grinds, making it genuinely capable for espresso and moka while still covering filter methods. |
