## Description

desertcart.com: Baratza Forte AP (All-Purpose) Ceramic Flat Burr Commercial Coffee Grinder : Home & Kitchen

Review: First Class Coffee Grinder - I didn't think a grinder could make such a difference. I upgraded from the Encore. It made such a difference.
Review: Love it! - This grinder is a solid 5 star unit. I know there's word about static in reviews, but I see no issues at all. I do grind only my own fresh roasted beans, thus likely have slightly higher moisture content. The resolution of the step adjustments is perfect. A few clicks north or south of the fine adjustment gets me dialed right in. It's quiet (within reason) and fairly quick. The scale lands me perfectly measured doses every time - it's great having two variables under complete control (dose and grind management). Two thumbs up on this unit. 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..

## Questions & Answers

**Q: can this product be used with 220V main supply ?**
A: No

**Q: What is the voltage of this item? 110v to 240v?**
A: Hello from Java Exotic Imports!The voltage is: 110 V AC 50/60 Hz.2.3 AmpHope to have you as a new customer! Java Exotic Imports 8005337214

**Q: The ap has ceramic burrs.  the bg has steel.  which would be longer lasting and more consistent over the long haul?**
A: They should both last a long time, and if you ever determine that you need new burrs, they're relatively inexpensive and easy to replace. Burrs should last 5-7 years. If you notice the grinder is no longer capable of grinding coarse coffee, then it might be time to replace burrs. 

The ceramic burrs should be a little more sturdy, but not enough to be a reason for picking the ceramic burr over the stainless. You should decide based on your primary brewing method.

**Q: What is the range of grind size possible from this machine? I need a very rough grind for cold brew, and very a fine grind for espresso.**
A: this grinder is perfect for that, I own two (AP & BG). The grind size you can get from these both are perfect for espresso or any filter coffee.

### ⭐ Poor quality. Short warranty
*by C***Y on June 2, 2025*

Unit is dead 3 months after the short 1 year warranty expired. Continuously operates as soon as it is plugged in, controls do not work. Almost like it was programmed to die. Lost 1/4 lb of beans as it ground through whole hopper before I unplugged it to stop. Cleaned and removed burrs and still the same. Problem seems to be electronic or sensor related, if I move the grinds catch cup in and out I can sometimes get it to stop. Spend your money on a higher quality company. My gaggia lasted 12 years. 1 year is just unacceptable.
