Why consider the Forte AP

Dosing by weight, flat burrs and a fine adjustment system suit a barista who wants repeatable results, and an ex-demo unit costs less than new.

Dose by weight or time

The listing says you can dose by weight or time, with dose by weight accurate to plus or minus 0.2 gram. It lists three programmable dose presets and a maximum programmable dose of 120g.

54mm ceramic flat burrs

The listing describes 54mm ceramic flat burrs for accurate, precise grinding. It lists an average speed of 2.0g/sec for espresso and 3.5 to 3.7g/sec for press pot.

Macro and micro adjustment

The listing describes an all-metal system with 10 macro steps, each split into 26 micro settings, so you can fine-tune the grind for your brew method.

Easy burr care

The listing says the burrs can be removed for cleaning with the cast zinc tool included, and can be re-calibrated with the calibration tool that comes with the grinder.

What to check when buying a pre-owned grinder

A pre-owned grinder can be good value, but burrs wear with use, so ask the right questions before you order the Forte AP. Ask us for current photos, ask what work has been done on it, and ask about the condition of the burrs. A grinder with fresh burrs will perform differently from one near the end of their life.

Also check that the grinder suits your bench and your power point, and think about where you will put the hopper and the catch area. Confirm dimensions with us and measure the space before you commit.

Getting the best from your grinder

A grinder is only as good as the way you use it. With the Forte AP, keep the burrs and chute clean, use fresh beans, and adjust the grind a little at a time. Weigh your dose and your output so that you can see what each change does, and write down the setting that works for each coffee.

If you are matching it with a machine, our team can help you pair it with something suited to your volume. Call us and tell us how many coffees you make in a day.

Who it suits

  • Cafes and coffee bars that want repeatable doses
  • Baristas who dial in by weight
  • Serious home baristas with the bench space
  • Buyers who want a known brand for less than new
