It is 14 centimeters wide, weighs 3 kilograms, and runs a set of 38 mm conical burrs with stepless micrometric grind adjustment. The engineering target was simple: make a compact on-demand grinder that can actually keep pace with a Lelit espresso machine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn-demand means the grinder grinds only what you need, when you need it, directly into a portafilter. A side knob sets grind size. A front button starts grinding. An electronic timer controls dose by time, adjustable from 2 to 20 seconds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the simplest version of a real espresso grinder. No dosing chamber, no grind retention buildup, no stale grounds. You put beans in the hopper, you set your grind, you press the button, and the grounds go into the basket.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\u003cp\u003eGrind, dose, brew, no waste.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe burrs are 38 mm conical. At that size, you get enough surface area to keep grind speed reasonable without the heat generation you would see from a larger flat burr set. The stepless adjustment lets you dial in to wherever your espresso wants to be, rather than stepping between fixed positions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe body is stainless steel. The 250 g hopper sits on top. A filter holder support holds your portafilter in place while grinding so you do not have to steady it by hand. The coffee chute directs grounds into the basket.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat you actually get.\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e38 mm conical burrs\u003c\/strong\u003e — Stepless micrometric adjustment via side knob.

Enough for several days of home use before refilling.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow it works: Dialing in a Fred Tempo.\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFill the hopper with beans. Rotate the side knob to your starting grind size. For Lelit espresso machines with a LELIT57 or LELIT58 group, a medium-fine setting is a reasonable starting point.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSet the dose timer on the front panel. For a standard 18 g double shot, you will likely start somewhere between 6 and 10 seconds and adjust from there. Slot your portafilter under the chute, onto the support, and press the button.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWeigh the dose on a scale. If it is short, add to the timer. If it is long, subtract. Adjust grind size based on how your shot pulls: finer for a longer shot, coarser for a shorter one. The stepless adjustment lets you make very small moves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWho it's for: Who the Fred Tempo is for.\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Fred Tempo is for people buying their first real espresso grinder. It is also the right fit for anyone pairing a Lelit espresso machine and wanting the workflow consistency of sticking within one ecosystem. It is small, it is honest, and it grinds well for its price.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you are pulling multiple shots back-to-back or running a cafe workflow, a flat-burr grinder like the William will serve you better. For one to four drinks a day, the Fred Tempo keeps up without asking much of your counter space.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eEvery spec Lelit publishes.\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eBurr type\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e38 mm conical, stepless\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eGrinding adjustment\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMicrometric, side knob\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eDose control\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eElectronic timer, 2 to 20 seconds\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eBean hopper\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e250 g\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eBody\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStainless steel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eVoltage (US model)\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e120V 60Hz\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eVoltage (EU model)\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e230V 50Hz\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eDimensions\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e14 x 22 x 34 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eWeight\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3 kg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eOrigin\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDesigned and made in Italy\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat ships with your Fred Tempo.\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Fred Tempo ships ready to grind: the grinder, the hopper, and a hopper lid.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLELIT Fred Tempo grinder\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBean hopper with lid \u003cem\u003e(250 g capacity)\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCoffee chute\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWarranty: Manufacturer warranty.\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLelit is a family-owned Italian manufacturer based in Castegnato, Brescia.
