They&rsquo;ve been on the market for over a decade. They use the same burr set. They look almost identical. They differ in motor, timer, and about $75 of price.</p> <p>If you&rsquo;re choosing between the two, the short version is this: <strong>the Encore is the right pick for pour-over and French press drinkers, the Virtuoso is the right pick if you ever want to pull espresso without buying a second grinder.</strong> Everything below is the longer version.</p>
