About the Baratza Forte - BG Brew Coffee Grinder with Steel Burr

Third wave cafes and home brewing aficionados have loved Baratza's innovation and workmanship for years but have been asking for a heavy duty and precise grinder that is perfectly tuned for brewing methods using fine to coarsely ground coffee. Baratza specially designed a hardened steel flat burr that could compete with the grind quality of its conical burr grinders while maintaining the highly accurate dosing of its weight based espresso grinders. The magic all starts with the powerful new DC motor that features 70% more power than any of the current Vario configurations and with half of the duty cycle. This motor features an all-new belt-drive system to handle the drastic power increase of this motor over previous models. This great new technology provides you with all of the grinder power that you desire while at the same time using less electricity. This new motor technology also helps to reduce the amount of heat this produced when grinding coffee at espresso fineness. Moving next to the outside of this beautiful new grinder, we see a gorgeous all-metal enclosure in place to protect our valuable and sensitive internal components. This metal is high quality and provides a sturdy support system for the machine. In addition, the metal construction of the casing is designed to be easy to clean, durable, and looks absolutely stunning, providing you with a gorgeous accent to fit any sort of kitchen decor. The grinding chamber is also constructed out of high quality metal, this subtle improvement helps to increase the shelf-life and usability of your grinder as it will be more resistant to dings, knicks, and scratches, unlike a lesser quality grinding chamber. This high quality design also helps you when cleaning the machine by giving you a sturdy surface that can withstand a more vigorous cleaning than other systems could. One of the true highlights of this state-of-the-art grinder is an all-new integrated graphic touch-screen user interface. This new system provides you with a real-time feedback on grind-size, grind weight, grind time, and other settings on a beautiful full color screen that is easy to read and durable. Grind settings are controlled via two well-placed metal sliders with indentations for an easy feel and to make setting your grinder a breeze. Baratza understands that the most difficult component to master for any barista is the grind size setting, as even a minute adjustment can have a major impact on the flavor that your coffee presents, therefore they made fine-tuning your grind settings as simple as possible so that you can dial in exactly what you are looking for and spend less time trying to perfect your grind and more time enjoying some delicious espresso. When the grinder has finished, an auto shut off feature keeps your grind level right where it should be. Finally, this Forte grinder features a bean hopper that has a 20% greater capacity than other Baratza grinders, allowing you to grind longer without stopping to refill the hopper. Also included with this special new hopper includes an all-new bean stopper to allow hopper removal with beans inside of it for easy cleanup and storage after use. Overall, this new grinder from Baratza is truly a unique and special machine, giving you more power than ever before and providing you with a perfectly pulled shot of espresso time and time again. This machine is truly designed to be the last grinder that you will ever need!

Great seal and it looks nice
I was a little worried after reading some of the reviews but I LOVE this thing. It looks beautiful and the seal works really well. I had it seasoning for a few weeks and when I finally added in some cigars I waited and watched and the humidity seemed to level out about 76 which I was more than happy with in terms of effectiveness. It's a perfect size, and even though it was pretty cheap it feels sturdy and durable and I really feel like I got more than my moneys worth in it's value.

An exceptional solution for both beginners and intermediate cigar enthusiasts
This humidor is an exceptional solution for both beginners and intermediate enthusiasts, offering high-end technical performance at an excellent value. It expertly balances superior craftsmanship with a functional, elegant design suitable for any desk or office. Technical Engineering & Climate Control Superior Seal: The unit features a machined internal lip—or "freshness coaming"—that creates a robust airtight seal, often producing an audible vacuum "whoosh" when opened. Spanish Cedar Interior: Lined with genuine Spanish cedar, the box utilizes the wood's natural hygroscopic properties to buffer humidity and stabilize the internal environment. Integrated Instrumentation: The kit includes an analog or digital hygrometer and a crystal gel humidification system. While users often find the included hygrometers require a known offset for precision, they provide a consistent visual reference for long-term maintenance. Hardware Quality: The box is equipped with high-quality quadrant hinges and a ball-detent locking hasp that ensures the lid remains securely closed. Design & Practicality Capacity: Optimally sized to hold between 25 and 35 cigars, this humidor provides ample space for proper air circulation without becoming cumbersome. Visual Display: The tempered glass top is deeply seated and sealed, allowing you to inspect your collection without disrupting the internal relative humidity (RH). Furniture Protection: A full-coverage velvet pad on the bottom prevents the unit from slipping or scratching delicate surfaces. All-Inclusive Starter Kit The package serves as a comprehensive "cigar solution" by including everything needed to begin seasoning immediately: Humidification solution and a precise dropper system. A cedar divider to organize different cigar assortments. Three travel storage tubes for cigars on the go. Final Verdict: This humidor is a standout personal essential or gift, successfully executing the critical technical requirements of airtight storage and moisture buffering while maintaining a premium aesthetic.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Technical Review: Premium Cedar Wood Glass Top Humidor (25-35 Count)
5 stars all the way! Wow! I'm speechless, but WOW! Excellent product. ​This desktop humidor package is an exceptional entry-level to intermediate solution that demonstrates superior craftsmanship where it matters most: maintaining stable Relative Humidity (RH) for cigar aging and preservation. It flawlessly balances high-utility features with an elegant, display-friendly design, earning a perfect five-star rating as a standout gift or personal essential. ​🔬 Technical Integrity: The Seal and The Wood ​The core function of any humidor is its seal and its ability to buffer humidity changes. This unit executes both with precision: ​The Airtight Seal: The box features a carefully machined lid designed with a sealed freshness coaming—a tight, internal lip that meets the box edge when closed. The result is an audible "whoosh" or vacuum sound when the lid is lifted (the "dollar bill test" typically passes with flying colors), confirming minimal air exchange. This robust seal is crucial for long-term humidity stability. ​Spanish Cedar Lining: The interior is lined with genuine Spanish Cedar (Cedrela Odorata). This isn't just for aroma; cedar has a unique cell structure that is naturally hydroscopic (it absorbs and releases moisture). This acts as a humidity buffer, stabilizing the internal environment by absorbing excess moisture when RH is too high and releasing it slowly when RH drops. This buffering action is vital for consistent aging. ​Capacity: The 25-35 cigar capacity (depending on cigar ring gauge) is ideal for a dedicated enthusiast or a growing collection, providing enough volume for proper air circulation without being overly bulky. ​🌡️ Instrumentation and Humidification System ​The integrated components simplify the critical process of humidity management. ​Glass Top Display & Stability: While glass tops are sometimes criticized for being less efficient than solid wood (as wood is a better buffer than glass), this model compensates by using tempered glass that is deeply seated and sealed. This allows for visual inspection without opening the lid, a critical feature that reduces the physical disruption of the stable internal RH. ​Analog Hygrometer: The included analog hygrometer is an excellent aesthetic touch. While all analog hygrometers should be calibrated immediately upon receipt, its positioning is clear and front-facing. Many users upgrade to a digital hygrometer for superior precision, but the built-in unit provides a reliable visual reference point. ​Humidifier & Dropper System: The package includes a standard foam or acrylic humidifier and a dropper. This allows for precise charging with distilled water or propylene glycol solution. The inclusion of a divider helps organize the collection, ensuring proper spacing for maximum air and humidity exposure to every cigar. ​🎁 Presentation and Value ​The humidor's aesthetic appeal and comprehensive feature set make it a genuinely thoughtful gift. ​Aesthetic Appeal: The smooth, polished exterior finish combined with the glass top makes it a beautiful piece of desk or office furniture. The overall fit and finish feel premium, with quality hinges and a solid weight. ​All-Inclusive Kit: By including the box itself, the hygrometer, the humidifier, the cedar divider, and the dropper, the manufacturer provides everything needed for a new aficionado to correctly season the box and begin storage immediately. ​Final Verdict: This humidor successfully executes the technical requirements of long-term cigar storage—a tight seal and Spanish cedar lining—while adding the convenience and presentation of a glass top. It is the perfect blend of form and function, offering exceptional value and performance for its class.
