Baratza Forte AP All Purpose Grinder - Ceramic Burr
Baratza Forte AP Coffee & Espresso Grinder
The Baratza Forte AP is a premium commercial-grade grinder engineered for exceptional precision across both espresso and brewed coffee. Designed for demanding home baristas, professional coffee enthusiasts, and light commercial environments, the Forte AP combines advanced weight-based grinding technology with robust construction to deliver consistent, repeatable results every time.
Equipped with 54mm flat ceramic burrs, the Forte AP produces a highly uniform grind while minimizing heat transfer during grinding. Ceramic burrs are renowned for their long service life and their ability to preserve the natural flavors and aromas of coffee, making them an excellent choice for those seeking maximum cup quality.
The grinder features an intelligent weight-based dosing system, allowing you to program your desired coffee dose with remarkable accuracy. The integrated scale continuously measures the ground coffee during operation and automatically stops once the selected weight is reached, ensuring exceptional consistency with every grind.
Offering an impressive combination of 10 macro grind settings and 26 micro adjustments, the Forte AP provides precise control across a wide range of brewing methods—from rich espresso to pour-over, drip coffee, and more. This versatility makes it an ideal all-in-one grinder for users who enjoy experimenting with different brewing styles.
Powered by a high-torque, low-speed motor, the Forte AP delivers outstanding grinding performance while reducing heat buildup and operating with minimal noise. An integrated thermal protection system helps safeguard the motor during extended use, ensuring reliable long-term performance.
The intuitive backlit touchscreen display provides effortless access to the grinder's programmable features, allowing you to save up to three custom presets based on either weight or grinding time for a faster, more consistent workflow. A convenient hands-free portafilter holder and included grounds bin make switching between espresso and brewed coffee quick and seamless.
Built with a durable metal housing and professional-grade components, the Baratza Forte AP is designed for coffee lovers who demand uncompromising accuracy, versatility, and reliability in every cup.
