Baratza U.S. list price, checked Oct 17, 2026

Buy now or wait? Leaning wait. Last year several retailers listed the Encore ESP at $159.95 against its $199.95 list price from about Nov 22, 2025. If Baratza repeats that, waiting a few weeks may pay off. Source: Slickdeals, Nov 23, 2025, CoffeeGeek, Early Black Friday Deals 2025. This is a past pattern, not a forecast; we do not have our own retailer price history yet.
