With espresso you have to make fine adjustments as the beans change character. I'd be concerned 14 wouldn't provide you enough range to make those fine changes. The Encore has 40, which I find is workable, but some days I wish I had a little more. It's mostly why people say the encore is usable for espresso but you need to go to something with more adjustments if you really want to get serious. For me, it's good enough because I'm a cheap bastard.
