Baratza Encore ESP

The small-kitchen trade-off

If footprint is your deciding factor, moving from the ESP to the ESP Pro does not save published counter space. Compare controls and cost instead.

What the dimensions include

Baratza explicitly lists W × D × H = 13 × 15 × 34 cm. The dimensions do not include extra lid access.

We preserve the source’s dimensional basis and convert units for comparison. A rectangular footprint is a calculation from width and depth; it is not a measurement of the feet or proof that an appliance can sit at the edge of a shelf.

Access matters as much as size

Measure the lift needed for the hopper lid and refilling. A hopper that fits beneath a cabinet can still be awkward to fill.

Mark the published rectangle with masking tape, then rehearse your routine with the cup, tools and water container you intend to use. If the footprint touches another appliance, reserve a separate working area before deciding it fits.

Try an allowance before buying

For an initial single-item sketch, adding an illustrative 6 in preparation zone gives 11.12 in width. Adding 4 in total depth allowance gives 9.91 in depth, and adding 3 in overhead gives 16.39 in height. These are adjustable planning choices, not required safety clearances. A second appliance can change the deepest and tallest item.

Open this model in the full planner to include another appliance and change the allowances. For a grinder-only filter station, replace the illustrative machine with your brewer’s dimensions.

What still needs checking

Match the exact model and regional electrical version, confirm the current price and availability, and read its placement instructions. We have not independently measured noise, speed, cup quality, durability or the moving-part envelope. These specifications cannot settle those questions.
