Which one to choose
Choose Sette 30 if…
Pick the Sette 30 if you also grind for pour over and prefer repeatable clicks: 31 positions are enough to return to the same grind without guessing.
Choose Fred Tempo if…
Pick the Fred Tempo if you want stepless adjustment to fine-tune espresso in tiny increments, even at the cost of losing a fixed reference point to return to.
