Lelit Fred Prima
CoffeeSpecs does not sell and does not show shop prices: check the price where you buy.
Fred Prima is the most compact of the three grinders Lelit currently keeps in its catalogue: the official technical sheet describes it as an on-demand grinder with 38 mm conical burrs and "micrometric stepless" adjustment, meaning continuous with no fixed clicks. The body is stainless steel, with a coffee chute, a filterholder support and a single grinding button: there is no display or electronic dose programming, unlike the Fred Tempo in the same range.
The stated hopper holds 250 grams and the given dimensions are 12.5x18x31 cm for a weight of 2.8 kg: the lightest and most compact of the three Lelit models covered here. The European version runs on 230 V 50 Hz.
The technical sheet does not give motor wattage, rpm, the exact burr material beyond the conical geometry, or a stated grind range for methods other than espresso.
