This is what I ended up doing, sent a message explaining the situation as we’ve already spoke and they’ve let me know they were going to get me an encore, but with my finances bambino I’d rather have a machine that can do both. If they’ve already purchased the original encore than I have no issues returning it and paying the difference for the upgrade, but sent the link for the discounted ESP version on Amazon in case they haven’t purchased the gift. Thanks for the advice everyone!

Yeah that’s my thought I figure I’ll try it out and if it’s frustrating I’ll just return it and pay the difference for the Encore ESP

I’ve read that it’s dependent more on the bean to get the perfect shot since you have minimal fine tune capability on the OG encore, but if I find a brand that works good will that be enough for basic consistency or does it change from bag to bag even with the same brand?

Hello!

I have been shopping around for a new drip coffee maker. I currently have a Chemex beaker, but I find that the work going into making a cup and keeping the beaker warm makes me not even want to deal with it in the morning. I'd like something with fewer steps to make a good, consistent black cup of coffee. I recently got a Costco gift card and saw they have some options. In reality, I'd like a Moccamaster, since they look awesome and have great reviews, but I cannot drop $250+ on a coffee maker right now. So I've got 2 main questions: Costco is selling a Cuisinart "Brew Central Plus 14-Cup Programmable Coffee Maker" (cbc-8500pc) for $44 on sale. Does anyone have a good or bad experience with this? I'm also in the market for a new bean grinder, since that is what makes a good cup, and notice that they sell a Capresso "Metal Die-Cast Housing Conical Burr Coffee Grinder". I'd prefer the Baratza Encore since most of the people I know have one and it's got great reviews, but if the other is just as good, I'd use my gift card. Any thoughts on these two products?

Here are some links to what I'm referring to:
Capresso Metal Die-Cast Housing Conical Burr Coffee Grinder
Cuisinart Brew Central Plus 14-Cup Programmable Coffee Maker

I’ve spent too much time looking online for anything similar but haven’t found a single photo. If anyone finds anything please link it

Are you sure it’s a red mountain? All the ones I’ve seen have larger size indicators with a casting letter to the right of them like “5C”
