Baratza - Forte BG Brew Grinder #1086

• Small on size, Big on Performance: The Forte has the performance of a large grinder without the need for all the counter space. Measuring only 5" wide and 7" deep, the Forte will fit on almost any counter. At only 14.5" tall, it also fits under all overhead cupboards. All function are controlled from the front, so walls or equipment directly beside it is not a problem.

• Any way you like it: The broad range of grind and the narrow particle distribution (bi-modal in espresso setting) are hallmarks of the professionalism of the Forte.

• Fine tuning with ease: Macro and Micro adjustments are instantly and repeatedly achievable with the intuitive adjustment system. The Forte has 230 distinct settings of grind to satisfy even the most demanding coffee connoisseur.

• One touch is all it takes: Beautiful glass touch screen display allowed for easy, repeatable grinds.

• Faster than a speeding...: The Forte grinds 2.0 grams/second at Espresso and 1.2g- 2.4g/sec at Press. The speed of grind is truly professional. 

• Harder than steel: Manufactured in Germany by Mahlkonig, the Forte's 54 mm professional ceramic burrs produce accurate grinding, high throughput and remain sharp for up to twice the lifetime of the highest quality steel burrs.

• A cool drive system: The forte employs a high torque DC motor and an ultra-quiet belt-drive transmission. The German timing belt provides important thermal isolation of motor and burrs, ensuring cooler coffee.
