Description
Baratza Forte AP Ceramic All Purpose Coffee Grinder
Features and Performance
Like the Forté BG, the AP can be programmed to dispense grinds based on time or weight, and grind fineness can be adjusted using macro and micro adjustment sliders for a whopping 260 fineness settings. We find that, with this style of adjustment, it’s so easy to dial in the grind, jot it down, and easily slide right back to it after experimenting with another coffee or brew method.
The motor in the Forté AP is a big upgrade to the Vario; it’s 70% more powerful and can run twice as long. This powerful motor turns slowly, generating less heat and noise as a result, and is equipped with a thermal cut-off switch that automatically resets itself in the case of overheating. To handle the increased power, the Forté AP has been outfitted with a new drive ratio, pulley, and belt-drive system to help it keep up in a commercial environment. The power increase is definitely noticeable, while the noise is not, which is just as it should be.

Pleasure to visit despite a 140 mile there and back journey. Staff do knowledgable and friendly. The flat white was perfect as you’d expect. I never get coffee tasting like this in London
