Product Description
Forte-AP (All Purpose grinder)
FORM + FUNCTION - The Forté AP is a dependable all purpose grinder, offering exceptional cup quality for home or light commercial use with the unique ability to grind by weight or by time.
Commercial level grinder
The Forté AP is our commercial level grinder, the go-to for many cafes and bars offering customers a rotating selection of their best coffees. Good fit as a single origin/decaf espresso grinder.
Small but powerful
The grinder has a compact body with cast metal construction and offers a high daily grinding capacity (up to 5lbs/day), plus an intuitive control panel with 3 programmable settings for repeatable dosing. Included with every Forté are a shut-off hopper, a burr removal tool for easy cleaning, and a simple burr calibration tool for quick calibration.
Accurate range of grind settings
The Forté AP comes with ceramic burrs and has 10 macro/26 micro settings for a total of 260 steps of adjustment for any style of coffee.
Grinding for espresso
While using the included portafilter holder accessory, you can grind by time, giving you convenient coffee delivery directly into a portafilter, as well as reduced mess thanks to a funnel which guides coffee grounds into the basket.

Don’t Dump it, Fix it!
Most small, consumer appliances are designed to wear out, or stop being useful in a very short time. These appliances are difficult and expensive to repair, so consumers are trained to dump and replace which has big environmental implications.
In contrast, we’ve purposefully designed Baratza grinders to be maintained like commercial grinders and maximize their value. With regular cleaning, maintenance, repair, and even rebuilds our grinders can give an excellent, accurate grind for many years.

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
Update - I had one of those 'user induced' issues with my Forte - now almost 2 years after purchase. After contacting customer service via e-mail, not only did they take great care of me, they got me up and running in no time. A few days later, I got my parts needed, and started grinding espresso once again. Great service!
I use it for 100% fresh roasted beans, only for espresso grind. It's used at least 5 days a week on the weight function. Since I grind by weight, I simply set the grams for a tad over my porta-filter's needs. Pour from the buck into my porta-filter (over a sink), and sweep off the small amount of excess w/ my finger. Minimum waste and easy. If I need to adjust the grind (as my beans age, or change batches), it's a simply click (while grinding), and the next pour is accurately adjusted.
I couldn't be more pleased with the outcome of my grinder..
But otherwise this is quick and not very loud either.
I don't bother with the portafilter holder because the static from grinding causes clumps so I use the weighing cup, and sift into a portal filter to break up the clumps
I do like the fact it is also really easy to switch grind sizes back and forth so it can be used for more than espresso.
pros:
- quick
- quiet
- has grind by weight and by time settings
- ceramic burrs
- not too big either
- has a manual grind settings for grinding lots of coffee at once
cons:
- cannot use grind by weight with a portafilter
- decent amount of clumping in fine grinds
My only complaint - beans remain on a flat ring around the perimeter of the base of the hopper. I dose by weight (18 grams of beans / shot.) So the only way to ensure all the beans gring is to brush them off the ring at the bottom of the hopper during grinding.
After I come up with fix for that, it will be my last grinder.
04.06.15 Edited to change to 5 starts. Baratza's tech support is top-notch! I emailed them about the "beans stay in the hopper" issue, and they replied with a link to a regular style (non-shutoff) hopper:

Top reviews from other countries
Sowohl Feinheit also auch Gleichmässigkeit des Mahlgutes sind tip top. Sehr zu empfehlen. Die Verarbeitung und Haptik sind überragend.
Besonderes Plus:
+ es verbleibt kaum Kaffeemehl nach dem Mahlen in der Maschine. <1 gr.
+ Sehr leichte Reinigung durch schnell abnehmbare Mahlscheibe
+ Absperrbarer Bohnenbehälter für Bohnentausch
+ die Mühle wird dem Attribut "All Purpose" definitiv gerecht. Von Cold Brew bis Türkischer Mokka produziert sie sehr konsistentes Kaffeemehl.
Einen Punkt Abzug gibt es, weil trotz der Überzeugenden Leistung die Baratza Forte überteuert ist. Eine Vario von Mahlkönig kostet etwa die Hälfte. Das Innenleben inclusive der Mahlscheiben ist das Gleiche. Für eine Fertigung Taiwan mit vielen Metallteilen aus dem Spritzgussverfahren sollte die Mühle nicht so teuer sein. Die Ersatzteil-Beschaffung in D ist auch vergleichsweise schwierig und teuer..
