Baratza Forte-AP Espresso Coffee Grinder – Ceramic Burr – Demo Unit, Commercial Precision for Home Baristas

💡 What is a Demo Unit?

A DEMO (Demonstration) Unit is a product that’s been lightly used for in-store demos or returned due to buyer’s remorse. These grinders may have minor cosmetic blemishes—like a small scuff or faint water spot—and the original retail box may show wear or be missing. However, the grinder itself is “like new” in performance, fully tested, and backed by the full manufacturer’s warranty 🛡️. This means you get Baratza’s premium quality at a discounted price.

Grinding Made Easy

The Baratza Forte-AP Ceramic Burr Grinder builds on the award-winning Vario-W, delivering precision, consistency, and commercial-level power in a compact design. Built to withstand light café use (up to 10 drinks/hour), it’s a grinder that will last a lifetime in the home.

With multiple dosing options, you can grind by manual weight into the bin, set programmable presets for weight or time, and take advantage of the Smart Dose function that remembers the grind time for your preferred dose—ideal for grinding directly into a portafilter.
