Can you fix it?
Baratza has announcedan affordable espresso grinder, but the best part is thatlike all Baratza grindersit’s totally repairable.
And not just notionally repairable.
Baratza
Baratza sells spare parts, which are available locally around the world from Baratza dealers and resellers.
In fact, that might be the most important part.
The first step to more sustainable gadgets is wanting to fix them.

The new Encore ESP should prove to be equally resilient.
But the most important part might be whathasn’tchanged.
This means that it is immediately repairableor at least it will be when itgoes on sale later this year.
It might also mean that you’re free to upgrade your existing model.
Repairability
Baratza is an A++ example of why repairability is great.
But the company itself also benefits.
Repairability turns out to make excellent economic sense, too.
It also doesn’t hurt that its products are excellent and regularly place at the top inbuying guides.
Meanwhile, Google justannounced a partnershipwith Right to Repair advocates iFixit.
You’ll be able to buy parts and see repair guides on the iFixit site.
This, says iFixit’sKyle Wiens, has perhaps been the biggest factor pushing phone makers to take repairability seriously.
That’s the kind of fact that terrifies big companies and warms the hearts of their customers.
