The Forté-AP incorporates many features that fit well into commercial operations, including: all metal construction; small footprint; intuitive control panel; and solid macro\/micro adjustment. The Forté-AP offers the ability to grind by time, for espresso dosing, or by weight. Coffee professionals find the Forté–AP to be a versatile grinder for many situations – as a small restaurant and office espresso\/brew grinder, as a Roaster demo grinder for wholesale tasting, or being a dedicated grinder for decaf or single origin in a café.\r\n\t\t\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\t\t\u003cp align=\"left\"\u003e\r\n\t\t\t\t\tThe Forté-AP is a durable workhorse using a 54mm flat ceramic burr, which produces an accurate and precise grind, delivering exceptional cup quality for brew methods from espresso to press pot. We re-designed the guts of the Vario-W for commercial use. The Forté-AP design includes a grinding assembly with a threaded burr holder which screws firmly into an all metal grinding chamber for a more accurate grind. A larger gear to belt ratio, combined with a more efficient DC motor increases the speed of grind and duty cycle.\r\n\t\t\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\t\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\t\u003ctd style=\"padding-bottom: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px\" width=\"224\"\u003e\r\n\t\t\u003cp align=\"center\"\u003e\r\n\t\t\t\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0810\/3605\/0736\/files\/baratza_forte_044e6c5d-e70f-428e-b729-b304238e8133.jpg?v=1749821142\" width=\"248\" height=\"244\" border=\"0\"\u003e\r\n\t\t\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\t\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\r\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\r\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003cp align=\"center\"\u003e\r\n\t \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\r\n\t\r\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSmall on size, Big on Performance:\u003c\/strong\u003e The Forte has the performance of a large grinder without the need \r\nfor all the counter space.
