Weight Based Grinding Operation - Baratza Forte Operation Manual

Grind Adjustments (cont.)
Move the Macro lever (right side)
up or down to the desired grind
size. Set the Micro adjustment le-
ver (left side) to the middle of the
scale.
Grind a small amount of coffee into
the bin by pressing WEIGHT, then
M (manual), and then the START
button. Press STOP after 5 grams
of coffee have been ground. Check
the particle size. If the particle size
is close to what you desire, use the
Micro lever to fine tune the grind
size. If the particle size needs a big
change, then adjust the Macro le-
ver to a new position.
The full range on the Micro scale
is equal to one "click" or posi-
tion change on the Macro scale.
When both levers are moved UP,
it produces a smaller particle size
and when both levers are moved
DOWN it produces a larger particle
size. The actual grind size for a
particular setting will vary depend-
ing on many factors including; the
degree of roast (light vs. dark),
freshness, humidity, the type of
bean, and bean oil content. With
use you will become accustomed
to determining the correct settings
for various beans, taste, and brew-
ing styles.
