Forte AP Coffee Grinder vs DF64 Gen 2 Single Dose Coffee Grinder: which fits under your cabinets

The Forte AP is 370 mm tall and 180 mm deep, and the DF64 Gen 2 is 300 mm tall and 225 mm deep. Both are 130 mm wide. Each wins one axis: the DF64 is 70 mm shorter and the Forte AP is 45 mm shallower. A gap of 300 to 370 mm under a cabinet takes only the DF64, and a counter 180 to 225 mm deep takes only the Forte AP. Neither maker says whether its height includes the hopper, so measure with the lid on.

Both use flat burrs: Baratza lists 54 mm ceramic and DF64 lists 64 mm stainless steel. The Forte AP has a 300 g hopper, a built-in scale that reads in 0.1 g steps and a timer that runs in 0.1 second steps, so it weighs and doses without a separate scale. DF64 lists a 50 g hopper made for single dosing and no built-in scale. For adjustment, Baratza gives the Forte AP a macro ring with 26 micro steps per macro setting, and DF64 lists stepless micrometric adjustment. Choose the Forte AP if you want the grinder to weigh the dose and your counter is shallow. Choose the DF64 for a low shelf or for stepless adjustment.
