to turn the calibration screw in 

toward the finer direction until you 

hear the motor start to slow. If you 

want a coarser grind, insert the 

tool and turn the opposite direc-

tion of the arrow on the tool. If you 

do not have a Baratza tool you 

can substitute with a 2mm Allen 

wrench.  Determine direction to 

turn while looking from the base of 

the grinder up.

Scale Calibration

If the display is showing “EEE”,

“out”, or the grinder is over or un-

derdosing coffee, the scale needs

to be calibrated. To calibrate the

scale you need a 200 gram weight.

To “create” a 200 gram weight, 

place the Forté

TM

 grounds bin on

a separate scale and add whole 

coffee beans until the scale reads 

200 grams (total weight of bin and 

coffee beans). Keep your “200 

gram weight” handy. Now unplug

the Forté

TM

 and make sure there 

is nothing on the scale platform. 

Plug the Forté

TM

 back in and while 

it powers on hold buttons M and 

WEIGHT until a value between 

1500-3000 is displayed. Then 

press Button M, the display will 

read “cal”. Gently set the 200 gram 

weight onto the platform. The dis-

play will flash “pas” and then show 

the total weight of the bin and cof-

fee beans (it should read 200). Af-

ter removing the bin the ON screen 

will show 0.0. Empty the beans.  

Then press start to bring the grind-

er to the “home screen”  then place 

the bin back on scale and press 

tare (T). The scale is now calibrat-

ed . Please e-mail us at support@

baratza.com if you have problems 

calibrating the scale.

Care and Cleaning

Cleaning the Housing

and Hoppers

Rotate the Hopper Guard so it is 

CLOSED, then press the START 

button to run any remaining beans 

through the grinder.  Remove the 

plug from the power outlet. Then 

remove the hopper by twisting it 

with both hands (with the lid on) in 

a counterclockwise direction un-

til it stops (about ¼ inch, or 4 cm) 

Use the burr calibration tool while the 

grinder is running.
