NatÃ¼rlich kann man sich fÃ¼r privat auch eine K-30 in die KÃ¼che stellen. Da dies fÃ¼r mich nicht in Frage kommt, ist die Baratza Forte AP die beste Wahl. Leistung und PrÃ¤zision sind groÃartig. Die UnabhÃ¤ngigkeit per Gewicht oder per Zeit zu mahlen ist genau mein Ding.Besonderes Plus:+ es verbleibt kaum Kaffeemehl nach dem Mahlen in der Maschine. <1 gr.+ Sehr leichte Reinigung durch schnell abnehmbare Mahlscheibe+ Absperrbarer BohnenbehÃ¤lter fÃ¼r Bohnentausch+ die MÃ¼hle wird dem Attribut "All Purpose" definitiv gerecht. Von Cold Brew bis TÃ¼rkischer Mokka produziert sie sehr konsistentes Kaffeemehl.Einen Punkt Abzug gibt es, weil trotz der Ãberzeugenden Leistung die Baratza Forte Ã¼berteuert ist. Eine Vario von MahlkÃ¶nig kostet etwa die HÃ¤lfte. Das Innenleben inclusive der Mahlscheiben ist das Gleiche. FÃ¼r eine Fertigung Taiwan mit vielen Metallteilen aus dem Spritzgussverfahren sollte die MÃ¼hle nicht so teuer sein. Die Ersatzteil-Beschaffung in D ist auch vergleichsweise schwierig und teuer..

dachte erst, dass ich die Zeiteinstellung zum Mahlen direkt in den SiebtrÃ¤ger nutzen wÃ¼rde – nach nun rund vier Wochen Nutzung der WÃ¤geeinrichtung habe ich festgestellt, dass dieses Feature wiederholbar genaue Ergebnisse liefert.Sowohl Feinheit also auch GleichmÃ¤ssigkeit des Mahlgutes sind tip top. Sehr zu empfehlen. Die Verarbeitung und Haptik sind Ã¼berragend.

I upgraded to the Forte from Baraza’ Vario. With …
I upgraded to the Forte from Baraza’ Vario. With the Forte, every shot pours at the exact same pressure. (Machine: Expobar Brewtus 4.) The shots are much more consistent than they were with the Vario.My only complaint – beans remain on a flat ring around the perimeter of the base of the hopper. I dose by weight (18 grams of beans / shot.) So the only way to ensure all the beans gring is to brush them off the ring at the bottom of the hopper during grinding.After I come up with fix for that, it will be my last grinder.04.06.15 Edited to change to 5 starts. Baratza’s tech support is top-notch! I emailed them about the “beans stay in the hopper” issue, and they replied with a link to a regular style (non-shutoff) hopper:https://www.baratza.com/cgi-bin/commerce.cgi?preadd=action&key=6011

This was a birthday gift for our son in the Seattle area (picky about coffee). I just talked to him and he told me how much he loved it (totally unsolicited). His family loves how easy it is to dial in the grind for one thing.

Such a great grinder but at a price. A little heavy by stable. They give two extra burrs. The weighing basket seems quite accurate. I donât use the portafilter holder that much. A little loud maybe but I guess thatâs not a reason to complain. I usually use the grind by weight and the coffee basket.

Massives EdelstahlgehÃ¤use, hochwertig und prÃ¤zise verarbeitet. Tadellose und vor allem jederzeit reproduzierbare Mahlergebnisse, die eigentlich auch extrem anspruchsvolle Espresso- und Kaffeeliebhaber zufriedenstellen mÃ¼ssten. Bei sorgfÃ¤ltigem Mahlen in den BehÃ¤lter und auch direkt in den SiebtrÃ¤ger wird praktisch so gut wie kein Kaffeemehl in der Gegend verstreut. Ausserdem ist die MÃ¼he einfach und schnell zu reinigen – aussen wie innen. Da die Baratza FortÃ©-AP von Hause aus fÃ¼r die gewerbliche, professionelle Nutzung gedacht ist, mÃ¼sste sie bei der Nutzung im Heimbereich und pfleglicher Behandlung eigentlich Jahrzehnte klaglos ihren Dienst verrichten. Und bei dem doch recht stolzen Preis sowieso;-)

If you can afford to spend the extra cash on a grinder they don’t come much better than this one. Had consistent results since I bought over a year ago, paired with my sage dual boiler I get a lovely coffee every time.

Love it!
This grinder is a solid 5 star unit. I know there’s word about static in reviews, but I see no issues at all. I do grind only my own fresh roasted beans, thus likely have slightly higher moisture content. The resolution of the step adjustments is perfect. A few clicks north or south of the fine adjustment gets me dialed right in. It’s quiet (within reason) and fairly quick. The scale lands me perfectly measured doses every time – it’s great having two variables under complete control (dose and grind management). Two thumbs up on this unit.Update – I had one of those ‘user induced’ issues with my Forte – now almost 2 years after purchase. After contacting customer service via e-mail, not only did they take great care of me, they got me up and running in no time. A few days later, I got my parts needed, and started grinding espresso once again. Great service!I use it for 100% fresh roasted beans, only for espresso grind. It’s used at least 5 days a week on the weight function. Since I grind by weight, I simply set the grams for a tad over my porta-filter’s needs. Pour from the buck into my porta-filter (over a sink), and sweep off the small amount of excess w/ my finger. Minimum waste and easy. If I need to adjust the grind (as my beans age, or change batches), it’s a simply click (while grinding), and the next pour is accurately adjusted.I couldn’t be more pleased with the outcome of my grinder..

I have had this grinder about a month and could not be happier. I place the filter holder into the grinder and grind for 8.7 seconds … consistent grind quality and consistent quantity of coffee. It took a little bit of practice/waste to get to the right setting (E on the left and 2 on the right) for my espresso maker but now I can make the perfect cup of espresso by reflex and muscle memory … no conscious thought required. The exterior is almost exclusively cast aluminum (with the exception of the base). It’s well designed and a great buy so far.
