{"product_id":"forte-ap-commercial-coffee-grinder","title":"Forté AP Commercial Coffee Grinder","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Forte AP is the all-purpose sibling to the Forte BG, ceramic burrs instead of steel, designed to handle espresso, pour-over, and everything in between. Same all-metal commercial chassis, same touchscreen, same grind-by-weight option. For low-volume cafes or home brewers running a serious coffee bar, this is the one grinder that does both jobs without compromise.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy it works\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e54mm flat ceramic burrs.\u003c\/strong\u003e Ceramic stays sharp longer under heavy use and runs cooler, which preserves more of the bean's volatile aromatics on long sessions.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTwo grind modes, time or weight.\u003c\/strong\u003e Time mode for high-throughput, weight mode for precision.

Brush the burr chamber weekly under daily use.
