The Baratza Forte AP (All Purpose grinder), the grinder for every brewing method

Designed as a commercial solution for low-volume cafes, the Forte AP is a rock-solid espresso grinder with high-capacity and feature-density. Operated by a touch screen, the Forte AP has two grind modes: by time and by weight. Each of those modes carries three presets and a manual option, giving you plenty of ways to conveniently switch from one dose to another. 

Intuitive interface

The Forte AP allows you to dose by weight or time. The dose-by-weight is accurate to plus or minus 0.2 gram. The touch activation awakens your screen with LED backlit technology. The touch screen controls all operations with three programmable dose presets; Up or Down arrows to increase or decrease dose values; and TARE, MANUAL, START or STOP. Max programmable dose is 120g.

Espresso Dosing

A unique feature of the Forte AP is the ability to convert a weight preset into a timed value that is accurate within plus or minus .5 grams of the set point. This allows for weight oriented dosing for espresso.

Burrs

The Forte AP grinder comes with 54mm ceramic flat burrs for accurate and precise grinding. The Forte AP grinds at an average speed of 2.0g/sec for espresso and 3.5 to 3.7g/sec for press pot. The range of grind is 230 to 1150 microns.

Re-calibrating burrs

The Forte AP is calibrated at the factory to ensure an accurate range of grind. If necessary, the Forte AP burrs can be easily re-calibrated using the special calibration tool that comes with the grinder.
