Don’t Dump it, Fix it!

Most small, consumer appliances are designed to wear out, or stop being useful in a very short time. These appliances are difficult and expensive to repair, so consumers are trained to dump and replace which has big environmental implications.

In contrast, we’ve purposefully designed Baratza grinders to be maintained like commercial grinders and maximize their value. With regular cleaning, maintenance, repair, and even rebuilds our grinders can give an excellent, accurate grind for many years.

Good value for the money
Purchased in 2018. Within a month the setscrew from the motor to the gears came loose. Customer service was very good. New motor. Better grinder for more consistent taste of the coffee. Takes about 1/4-1/2 pound to dial it in for the grind of a new bean.Good: Better refined taste you get than other less expensive grinders.Easy to use and setup.Never had it jam.Poor: The plastic cup that the grind goes in is very static friendly. Pain to deal with.Averall would I buy it again, yes. I replace this with 2 different $1800 grinders. One for Espresso and one for drip

5.0 out of 5 stars I love my new grinder!
Reviewed in the United States on September 30, 2022
I upgraded from a Capresso burr grinder, which did a pretty good job grinding coffee. After seeing (and after tasting the coffee ground by) the Baratza Forte BG at a local restaurant I was impressed. The BG's consistent grind quality brings out the inner, nuanced, characteristics of coffee, making the purchase of this grinder well worth it. Plus, from what I hear, Baratza has excellent customer service, and parts (i.e. new burrs) can be ordered for their grinders.

Update, 10/28/22: I had a little accident that involved my Boos cutting board and my Forte grinder, where the cutting fell and hit the Forte touch screen and cracked it (see pic). I contacted the Baratza customer service asking where I could purchase a new screen and they said they would send me a screen (I didn't have to pay for it!). Customer service was quick to respond to my inquiry and quick to ship out the new touch screen.
