Baratza Forté Grinders: A Durable Solution for Café and Home Use

The Baratza Forté series offers two robust grinders designed for both cafés and home kitchens. The Forté AP (All-Purpose) and Forté BG (Brew Grinder) are compact, commercial-grade machines with an intuitive touch control panel, an accurate built-in scale, and consistent macro and micro adjustments. Built to last with an all-metal construction, including an aluminium grind chamber and reinforced drive belt, both grinders deliver reliable performance.

Precision Grinding for Various Brewing Methods

The Forté BG, with 54mm flat steel burrs, is perfect for medium to coarse grinds, delivering excellent results for pour-over and drip brewing. Both models are built for high daily capacities, suitable for both home and commercial use.
