About the Brand
Lelit was founded in 1986 near Brescia in northern Italy, moving into espresso machine manufacturing in 2002 under the founding family's next generation. The brand built its reputation doing something unusual in the Italian espresso world: delivering genuine prosumer engineering — proper groups, real components — at a price that undercuts machines twice its cost. That same value-driven philosophy carries through into Lelit's grinders.
The Product
The Lelit Fred 44 On-Demand Espresso Grinder takes everything that makes the Fred 43 work — 38mm conical burrs, micrometric stepless adjustment, a genuinely compact footprint — and adds electronic dose regulation on top. At 34cm high and 3kg, it's still built for spaces where every centimetre of counter matters. This is the Fred with a dose timer built in, for when manual grinding alone isn't quite enough.
Key Features
38mm Conical Burrs (Cool, Consistent Grinding)
Conical burrs spin at low RPM, generating less heat and helping protect the coffee's flavour through every dose.
Micrometric Stepless Adjustment (Fine, Precise Dial-In)
A side adjustment knob lets you move between grind sizes in tiny, precise increments rather than fixed steps.
Electronic Dose Regulation (Set It Once, Repeat It Forever)
Set your dose grinding time from 2 to 20 seconds and the Fred 44 repeats it precisely, taking the guesswork out of dosing.
Stainless Steel Body (Durable and Compact)
A solid stainless steel construction keeps the Fred 44 sturdy while staying small enough for tight kitchen spaces.
Integrated Filterholder Support (Steady, Handsfree Dosing)
A dedicated support holds your filterholder in place under the coffee chute while you grind.
Who It's Built For
The Fred 44 is built for you if you want the Fred 43's compact precision but you're tired of eyeballing your dose every time. It's for the home barista who wants a repeatable, timed dose without giving up counter space. Set your dose once, and let it repeat — perfectly, every time.
