In this video, Gray walks through how to inspect and replace the Upper Ring Burr Holder on the Baratza Encore ESP. This part is designed to flex or break if a dense object such as a rock, metal fragment, or under roasted bean enters the grind chamber. That intentional break helps protect more expensive internal components from damage.
Gray demonstrates each step of the process, from identifying damage to installing the replacement part quickly and easily. This repair is simple and helps keep your grinder running smoothly.
Reminder: When reinstalling, confirm that your adjustment assembly is rotated fully counter clockwise and then align the red dot on the burr holder near the front right so it aligns with the notch/red line on the adjustment assembly, close to the setting 30 indicator.
