Forté AP (All Purpose) is a high quality grinder that will meet the expectations of even the most demanding users. In contrast to the BG model, it offers the full grinding range from coarseness to fineness (also for espresso) and is equipped in ceramic burrs.

Burrs

Flat ceramic burrs made in Europe. Their advantage is greater durability compared to steel burrs, which extends their lifespan even to double it. The maintenance of the grinder is extremely easy, as it takes just a moment to remove the burrs.

Design

The body is almost all metal, which gives it the elegant look. The option to close the hopper makes maintenance easy when you do not want to empty it. On the front there is an LCD touch screen to control the grinder.

Operation

Using the control panel, it is possible to control grinding for weight (with accuracy to 0.1 g) or time and the option of manual grinding is also available. You can also program special buttons of the control panel as an option. It is a type of the on-demand grinder, so grinding takes place on demand - coffee is ground immediately before brewing, directly into the bin or flask.

Grinding adjustment

The panel also includes grinding adjustment of fineness or coarseness. Forte offers 10 macro levels and up to 26 micro settings, which gives the total of 260 combinations. Forte AP is ideal for all coffee brewing methods - from espresso to French Press and alternative methods such as Chemex, Aeropress, dripper or a siphon. The grinder is able to grind up to 3.7 grams of beans in just a second.
