CARE and CLEANING

Removing the Bean Hopper

Rotate the hopper lever, so it is in the CLOSED position, then press the START button to run any remaining beans through the grinder. Remove the plug from the power outlet. Remove the hopper by twisting it, with both hands (with the lid on) in a counterclockwise direction until it stops (about 1/4inch, or 4mm) and then lift the bean hopper off of the grinder housing.

Removing the Upper Burr

Using the Baratza Burr Tool included with the grinder, rotate the metal burr carrier clockwise until it can be twisted free by hand, then lift the burr carrier straight up and out of the grinder housing.

Cleaning the Grounds Bin, Hopper and Burrs

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.
