  • The Forté is available in two configurations. The Forté-BG (Brew Grinder) is designed for manual or batch brewing and comes with a 54mm flat steel burr and a grounds bin. The Forté-AP (All Purpose grinder) can grind from coarse to fine and comes with a 54mm flat ceramic burr, grounds bin for use when grinding by weight, plus a portaholder for use when grinding directly to your portafilter.

    Forté BG

    The Forté-BG is a compact, weight-based, commercial grade grinder, dedicated to grinding for brew methods requiring a medium to coarse grind. The Forté-BG incorporates many features that fit well into commercial operations, including: all metal construction; small footprint; intuitive control panel; and solid macro/micro adjustment. Coffee professionals have learned, from using the Vario-W in the brew bar setting, that weight-based grinding improved their workflow and efficiency. In response to the Vario-W success, and growing demand for this approach to grinding in the commercial environment, we have developed the Forté-BG.

    The Forté-BG is a durable workhorse using a 54mm flat steel burr, which produces an accurate and precise grind, delivering exceptional cup quality for brew methods from Press Pot to Drip. We re-designed the guts of the Vario-W for commercial use. The Forté-BG 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.

Love it

Super easy to use, very very quiet which I love. For the first time in years we can make coffee before everyone wakes up. It looks great and is super accurate. It does cost over 1k but I expect it will last a long while. We bought a second hopper to make it easier to switch beans but it was a waste. It’s already super easy to switch beans and wastes only 10-11 grams. Don’t mess around and just buy it. You won’t regret it. Paired it with a Moccamaster. Looks great in our kitchen and the coffee is way better than anything I could buy.
I bought it on Tuesday and it was delivered to my door before 10 am Friday. Great company and I will buy more from 8 ounce.
