Baratza Forte AP (All-Purpose) - Flat Ceramic Burr Coffee and Espresso Grinder (with PortaHolder and Bin)
INTUITIVE INTERFACE: The Fort-AP allows you to dose by weight or time.  Our signature dose-by-weight is accurate to plus or minus .2 gram.  The touch activation awakens your screen with LED backlit technology.  The touch screen controls all operations with three programmable dose presets; Up or Down arrows to increase or decrease dose values; and TARE, MANUAL, START or STOP.ESPRESSO DOSING: A unique feature of the Fort-AP is the ability to convert a weight preset into a timed value that is accurate within plus or minus .5 grams of the set point. This allows for weight oriented dosing for espresso.BURRS: The Fort-AP grinder comes with 54mm ceramic flat burrs for accurate and precise grinding. The Fort-AP grinds at an average of 2.0g/sec for espresso and 3.5 to 3.7g/sec for press pot.  The range of grind is 230 to 1150 microns.ADUSTMENT/GRIND RANGE: An all-metal macro and micro adjustment system produces a positive feel and secure grind setting.  The macro-adjust moves from fine to coarse grinding in 10 distinct and repeatable settings. A secondary micro-adjust further divides each of the 10 macro steps into 26 distinct settings. These steps, plus the new metal detents, enable fine-tuning with ease.HOPPER: The hopper holds approximately 300g of coffee.  An innovative bean shutoff feature in the collar permits no-mess, no-fuss hopper removal for changing out beans. Bean "waste" (below the stopper) averages a surprisingly low 10g, once the hopper has been shut off (all weights are bean density dependent). A hopper extension is available that can add an additional 250g of capacity.RE-CALIBRATING BURRS: The Fort-AP is calibrated at the factory to ensure an accurate range of grind. If necessary, the Fort-AP burrs can be easily re-calibrated using the special calibration tool that comes with the grinder.
