INTRODUCTION

Thank you for purchasing the Forté. For the rest of this manual, the generic name “Forté “ will be used when talking about the Forté-AP and Forté-BG. If we are talking about a specific grinder, we will call it out.

The Forté is a compact, weight or time-based, commercial grade grinder, dedicated to grinding for all styles of coffee brewing. The Forté incorporates many features that fit well into commercial operations, including: all metal construction; small footprint; intuitive control panel; and solid macro/micro adjustment. The Forté design includes a grinding assembly with a threaded burr holder which screws firmly into an all metal grinding chamber for a more accurate grind. A larger belt drive, combined with a more powerful DC motor, increases the speed of grind and duty cycle.

Forte-BG, Forte-AP specifications

The Baratza Forte-AP and Forte-BG are two state-of-the-art coffee grinders designed for coffee enthusiasts and professionals alike. Both grinders offer precision, versatility, and exceptional build quality, catering to different brewing methods and aesthetic preferences.

The Forte-AP (All Purpose) is renowned for its ability to grind coffee for various preparation methods, including espresso, pour-over, and French press. It boasts a high-quality burr set, featuring 54mm flat ceramic burrs that provide consistent particle size and minimal grind retention. This ensures that every cup of coffee brewed is aromatic and flavorful. The Forte-AP also incorporates a powerful DC motor that allows the user to grind quietly and quickly, making it ideal for both home and café environments.

In contrast, the Forte-BG (Brew Grinder) is tailored specifically for brewing methods that include drip coffee, French press, and pour-over. It features the same durable ceramic burrs but optimizes the grinding efficiency for coarser grinds, making it perfect for brewing larger quantities. This grinder prioritizes uniformity in particle size across coarser settings, ensuring consistent extraction and a better-tasting cup.

Both models embrace advanced technology with programmable features. Users can set timers for precise grind time, allowing them to maintain consistency in their brewing process. The built-in digital display makes it easy to adjust and monitor settings for optimal grinding, while the intuitive interface caters to users of various skill levels.

The Forte grinders also come equipped with a heavy-duty metal casing, providing durability and a professional appearance. The combination of attractive aesthetics and functionality makes these grinders a staple in both modern kitchens and coffee shops.

Additionally, Baratza has prioritized ease of maintenance. Both grinders come with easy-to-remove burrs, allowing users to clean and replace them when necessary. This commitment to user-friendly design ensures that the grinders remain in peak condition for years.

In summary, the Baratza Forte-AP and Forte-BG represent the pinnacle of coffee grinding technology, offering features that cater to serious coffee lovers and professionals. With their robust build, enhanced grinding capabilities, and user-friendly designs, these grinders are an excellent investment for anyone looking to elevate their coffee experience.
