## Overview

The Baratza Forte BG is a commercial-grade coffee grinder featuring 54mm flat steel burrs, a built-in digital scale, and programmable timer with up to 260 grind settings.

Its polished metal body combines durability with a compact, stylish footprint, making it the preferred choice for specialty coffee professionals and enthusiasts alike.

## Description

Designed as a commercial solution to multi-offering pour-over bars, the Forté BG is a feature-forward, high-capacity, near-bulletproof grinder.

Review: Excellent. Do read the manual, it’s not that long, but this is not your average coffee grinder. Many settings and options. Easy to understand if you just read the manual, download from their website. This is really built to last. One extra feature not mentioned is that the grounds bin is lighted. Might seem silly, but it shows the level of detail this company went to design what is probably the best grinder available. You can also order an extra beans bin just Incase you want to change beans, perhaps from regular to decaf, without turning the device upside down and making a mess, which is the case with other grinders. With this you just flip a lever, then twist and remove the bin.
Review: I upgraded from a Capresso burr grinder, which did a pretty good job grinding coffee. After seeing (and after tasting the coffee ground by) the Baratza Forte BG at a local restaurant I was impressed. The BG's consistent grind quality brings out the inner, nuanced, characteristics of coffee, making the purchase of this grinder well worth it. Plus, from what I hear, Baratza has excellent customer service, and parts (i.e. new burrs) can be ordered for their grinders. Update, 10/28/22: I had a little accident that involved my Boos cutting board and my Forte grinder, where the cutting fell and hit the Forte touch screen and cracked it (see pic). I contacted the Baratza customer service asking where I could purchase a new screen and they said they would send me a screen (I didn't have to pay for it!). Customer service was quick to respond to my inquiry and quick to ship out the new touch screen.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: This appears to be a great grinder.  If set on coarse, can I expect much fine powder to be included in the grinder's output or not?**
A: I have had this grinder for about 9 months.  I bought it for use in a Chemex and it works great for that use.  I currently have it set on 6M for a 3-4 minute pour time for 35 g coffee with 500 g of water.  Yes, I’m a coffee geek.  

I don’t think there is much fine powder with the steel grinder burrs.  Not sure how I can tell but it works great for my use.  As you probably know the Forte AP with the ceramic burrs is intended for the “more powder” use as in espresso coffee.

**Q: Does this grinder work for single dosing? I know that some grinders are better than others for grinding small amounts of beans (e.g., for one-cup).**
A: Yes, it provides a very accurate grind and multiple programmable buttons. All you need to do is load the beans, program setting for different amounts/different brewing methods and there are easy adjustments that you can make to change the grind level. This is an awesome, do it all home coffee grinder. Espresso all the way to press pot!

**Q: How is this for grinding for the chemex?**
A: An infinite number of grind settings allows the Baratza to serve any coffee device.

**Q: Where is this product made? China? United States?**
A: Hello, All Baratza grinders are manufactured in Taiwan, who are known for extremely high quality production.  Baratza of course is a US company based in Washington State.  The BG is a really good grinder!  Hope that you'll check us out at Java Exotic Imports.  Thanks Mike - Java Exotic Imports
