Frequently asked questions

What does AP stand for?
All Purpose: the Forté AP is set up for espresso and filter.

In what steps can I set the dose?
In steps of 0.1 g. The grinder stops when the scale reaches your dose.

Is it suitable for a coffee bar?
For light professional use such as tastings or a small bar, yes. For high-volume espresso service, choose a commercial grinder.

What our baristas think

The Forté AP is the grinder for people who never want to weigh their beans again: set 18 g and you get 18 g. It is robust enough for light professional use, such as tastings and cuppings. For home use only, the Vario+ gives you the same burr taste for less, without the scale. If you only brew filter, the Forté BG with steel burrs is the closer match.
