MAKE IT YOUR FORTÉ Baratza's back with another mechanical masterpiece: the Forté. It's the company's first take on a commercial coffee grinder, and it's one of the most celebrated products of 2013. So what makes the Forté so special? With your choice of steel or ceramic burrs, it offers a trusty solution for both brewed coffee and espresso grinding. Its muscular interior is operated by a touch-screen interface and 260 stepped adjustments. Time- and weight-based programmable dosing allow for quick, repeatable results, so no matter where you use the Forté, it won't slow you down. The Forte's adjustment switches, portafilter holder, and entire enclosure are metal, proving that this baby behemoth is built to last. www.prima-coffee.com www.baratza.com NOTHING BORING ABOUT IT The LINO Collection presents the optimal marriage of design and function at both the commercial and consumer levels. Subtly ergonomic and biomorphic, the ceramic vessels in this family were designed with and for world-renowned baristas based on an empirical methodology. Each piece was rigorously tested for functionality inside and out. The latest addition to the family is the double-walled laboratory-grade GINO glass brewer that fits the LINO mug perfectly and highlights the coffee extraction process. Each vessel functionally supports the barista's art, and provides a delectable coffee experience, whether in the drinker's hand or simply seen as they are set on the table. www.notneutral.com HOLIDAY CHEER IS HERE—EARLY It's not Christmas-time yet, but you can ring in the Holidays a little early with limited edition Torani Peppermint Bark Sauce.
