Baratza Sette 270Wi vs Lelit Fred Tempo
Technical comparison · Espresso grinders
Two electric grinders with conical burrs of almost the same diameter, 40 and 38 mm, so diameter settles nothing. What matters is how the grind is set: 31 click stops on Sette 270Wi, stepless on Fred Tempo, which costs noticeably less.

The differences that matter
- Adjustment: 31 stops against stepless → repeatable, writable positions on one side, minimal corrections with no fixed reference on the other.
- Height: 34 cm against 41 cm → Fred Tempo takes less vertical space on the counter.
- Hopper: 300 g against 250 g → Sette 270Wi needs refilling less often.
- Burrs: 40 mm against 38 mm, both conical → diameter is not a reason to pick one or the other.
Which one to choose
Choose Sette 270Wi if…
Sette 270Wi is for anyone alternating espresso and pour over, the two methods the maker lists, who wants to note one position for each and return to it. The trade-off is a higher price and no position between two stops. The 300 g hopper lasts a few doses longer.
Choose Fred Tempo if…
Fred Tempo is for anyone who wants stepless adjustment to chase the extraction when the coffee lot changes, while spending less. The trade-off is no stop to return to, so the right setting has to be noted by hand, and a 250 g hopper to refill more often. It stands 34 cm tall against 41.
