Description
Baratza Forté BG Coffee Grinder
Features and Performance
Like the Vario-W, it’s capable of dosing based on weight, thanks to the integrated scale in its base, though, the Forté BG doesn’t stop there. It’s also capable of dosing based on time. Similar to the Vario models, the Forté BG can be adjusted using macro and micro adjustment sliders for a whopping 260 degrees of fineness. 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 BG 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 BG has been outfitted with a new drive ratio, pulley, and belt-drive system to help it keep up in a commercial environment. Whether atop a home or cafe kitchen, the Forté BG delivers batch after batch of consistently ground coffee however you prefer.

Excellent service. Accidentally ordered two grinders. However, after phoning them and explaining, money for second machine was immediately refunded and only one machine delivered next day.
Justin Zielonko –
When you buy an Espresso machine it should last a lifetime but that’s only if you can get the spares. Espressodepots.com stock all that is needed and get it to you pronto. Job done, many thanks all.
Justin Hilligoss –
My first time ordering from Espressodepots.com It was only a small item but was pleased with the fast turnaround of my order and the goods received. Will definitely buy from them again.

Espressodepots.com really went above and beyond when dealing with my order.
I was having trouble choosing a grinder and was too impatient to wait until I had the free time to visit their store. I called up and spoke to Marko and he talked me through his recommendations. I then had a bit of trouble at the checkout (no fault of theirs), once again I got onto the phone with Marko and he quickly sorted this out for me.
My new Espresso machine, Grinder and accessories arrived the next day in perfect order and I’m really happy with my purchase. I bought some of their coffee beans with my order and I have to say they are delicious.
I’ve needed a bit of assistance since and the team at Espressodepots.com have been great. I’d definitely buy from them again and recommend them to others.
