Baratza Forte – Electric coffee grinder for precise grind from espresso to drip coffee
Baratza Forte is a premium-class electric coffee grinder for espresso and drip coffee, designed for those who want professional control at home or in a small café. With a stainless steel housing, large 54 mm flat ceramic burrs, and over 260 adjustable steps, it delivers a consistent, clean, and reliable grind cup after cup. The touchscreen makes operation intuitive, and the ability to grind by time, weight, or manually offers the flexibility we appreciate when coffee is a craft rather than a routine. One thing to keep in mind: this is an advanced grinder weighing 6 kg, so it fits best where it has a fixed and obvious place on the brewing station.
Key features of Baratza Forté AP
- 54 mm flat ceramic burrs: The flat ceramic burrs are built for high precision and consistent particle size, providing better control in the cup and a rich flavor profile with clear sweetness.
- 260 adjustment steps: The combination of 10 macro and 26 micro settings makes it easy to fine-tune the grind, whether you’re aiming for dense espresso or a cleaner brew character for filter coffee.
- Versatile grind range: With a grind range from fine espresso to coarser drip grind, the grinder works equally well for daily espresso as for coffee for pour over or other manual brewing methods.
- Efficient grinding speed: A capacity of 2 g/s to 3.7 g/s provides fast and smooth use when you want to work precisely without losing pace.
- Generous capacity: The bean hopper holds 285 g and the grind container 170 g, offering a convenient balance between compact size and practical working volume.
- Easier maintenance: With included tools for burr removal, cleaning and servicing are more accessible. For the best flavor, we recommend regular grinder cleaning to reduce old coffee oils and residues.
