The brew grinder

Steel flat burrs, tuned for clarity in the cup

The Forte BG is the Forte AP's filter-only sibling: the same all-metal body and touchscreen, fitted with 54 mm steel flat burrs that Baratza chooses for high-clarity brews. It is built for the slow bar, the batch brewer and the roastery cupping table.

Dosing

Weigh every dose, from a single V60 to a batch brew

A built-in scale under the grounds bin doses to a tenth of a gram from 5 to 120 g, so a 15 g pour-over and a 60 g batch are both one press. A timer to a tenth of a second and a manual mode cover everything else.

On the touchscreen

Weight mode: three presets, factory set to 15, 30 and 60 g, adjustable in 0.1 g steps
Time mode: three presets, factory set to 10, 15 and 30 s, adjustable in 0.1 s steps
Manual mode with a live weight readout, useful for double-checking a pre-weighed dose
Pause and resume mid-dose with the start button

Built to be owned

Commercial-grade, and serviceable on the bar

The Forte shares the Vario's 13 by 18 cm footprint, so it fits beside a batch brewer or on a cupping table, and everything a busy bar wears out is a tool or a genuine part away.

The official Forte BG, backed here in the UAE

A grey-import grinder looks identical in a listing. It stops looking identical the day a belt, burr set or load cell needs replacing on a working bar. Every Baratza we sell comes through BRG, the brand's authorised UAE distributor, with a 2-year warranty and genuine parts.

2-year warranty, registered with the official distributor from day one. Keep the invoice, we handle claims.

Complete the setup

Chosen for the Forte BG specifically. A brew grinder wants a brewing scale beside it, a machine for the other half of the bar, and a brush for the clean a working grinder needs.

WHATSAPP A BARISTA

Questions, answered

Who is the Forte BG for?

A cafe slow bar, batch-brew station, roastery or office that grinds filter coffee all day and wants every dose weighed. Baratza fits it with steel burrs for clarity and leaves out the PortaHolder, so it is a brew grinder, not an espresso grinder. If the same grinder must also serve an espresso machine, choose the Forte AP; for a home filter setup the Vario W+ gives the same footprint and scale at a lower price.

How much can it grind in one go?

In weight mode the scale doses from 5 g up to 120 g, the capacity of the grounds bin, and the hopper holds 300 g. At the BG's 1.3 to 2.7 g per second a 60 g batch dose takes well under a minute. Grind larger batches in two or three weighed doses rather than overfilling the bin, which can back coffee up into the chute.

Is this the right voltage for the UAE?

Yes. BeanBurds sells the 220-240 V, 50/60 Hz version, model ZCG1086, rated at 130 W with a UK-style Type G plug, the standard socket across the UAE. Grey-import 120 V US units will not run correctly here.

Can the Forte BG grind for espresso?

It is not the tool for it. The BG ships without the PortaHolder and its steel burrs are chosen for filter, so Baratza positions it as a brew grinder. A bar that needs one grinder for both should look at the Forte AP, which adds the cast-metal PortaHolder and ceramic burrs for espresso; the two share a manual, a body and a warranty.

What is the warranty, and who services it in the UAE?

Every Baratza we sell comes through BRG, the brand's authorised UAE distributor, with a 2-year warranty and genuine parts. Burrs, belt and scale are all serviceable, and the burr removal and calibration tools are in the box. For commercial buyers we can quote on request and advise on burr spares for a busy bar.

How fast is delivery?

Next-day delivery across the UAE on in-stock units; order before 12:00 noon and it ships the next day. Set it on a stable, level surface, hand-wash the hopper, lid and grounds bin before first use, and never wash the burrs or the other metal parts.
