Professional reviewers praise the Encore ESP for its precision-focused design, emphasizing the micro-step adjustment and low-speed burr operation that together deliver consistent espresso quality while also accommodating filter-brew methods through a macro-step range.
Professional commentary is scarce; manufacturer statements emphasize the M01 as a "complete reimagining" of hand grinders with the tightest tolerances of any Timemore model, highlighting its precision engineering and multipurpose performance that rivals larger electric burrs.
Direct consumer feedback is not present in the sourced data, but the lack of reported complaints and the positive reputation of similar Timemore grinders suggest users appreciate the smooth rotation, durability, and uniform grind quality.
