      Baratza Forte AP and BG: Setup Guide

      Congratulations on your new Baratza Forte! In this guide, you should find everything you need to set up and operate your coffee grinder.

      Please review the Baratza Forte AP or Baratza Forte BG product page for a list of accessories and specifications that are included.

      Unboxing and Inspection

      • Remove the grinder from the box and place it on a stable, level surface.
      • Before assembly and operation, inspect for damage that may have occurred during shipping. If you notice any damage, contact us immediately.
      • Save all packaging, as this is needed for returns and repairs.

      Setting up and operating your grinder

      Dialing in your grind

      • To adjust the grind size, move the hopper lid clockwise for a finer grind or counterclockwise for a coarser grind. 
      • We can't stress this enough—to succeed at home coffee, you need fresh coffee. If your coffee bag doesn't have a roast date or is older than one month, you can order some directly from us and have it shipped to you at your desired frequency. Check out our coffee selection by Mistobox.
