  • Lelit PL044MM Fred Espresso Coffee Grinder

     

    Overview:
    This model is replacing the previous PL53 Fred. Same size burrs. Grinding adjustment and operation is also the same. Only this time, there is an actual portafilter fork!
    Do you want the best value in an espresso coffee grinder? This grinder produces a good consistent grind quality that no almost no other espresso coffee grinder can be compared to in this price range.

    The only all stainless steel, polished body, doserless, conical burr espresso grinder with stepless adjustment for under $300.00. Can we say more? This grinder was designed for grinding espresso only. Although it 'can' be used for other coffee brewing methods, the turning of the knob on the stepless adjustment can be cumbersome to rotate many times for different brew methods. When we say many times, we mean hundreds of rotations. This is why we recommend the grinder be utilized for one brew method only - espresso.
    Features:
    • The powerful 150-watt motor is engaged through the use of a microswitch that you can press your portafilter right up against and get freshly ground coffee directly into your portafilter.
    • The stepless adjustment allow you to fine tune your grind for the perfect espresso grind - this is different than stepped adjustment where one can use only setting #8 or #9, but no in-between as can be achieved by our PL44 grinder!
    • The bean hopper now has numbers written in which you can use a “guide” to see your current setting. Please note there is no indication on the grinder itself to line up with the numbers.
    • Conical burrs with the larger burr outside diameter size measured at 38mm.
    • Burrs made of hardened steel.
    • Approximate tinted plastic bean hopper capacity: 150 grams (5.29 ounces).
    • Bean hopper can easily be removed for hand cleaning (not dishwasher safe).
    • Standard 110 volt outlet comes out from back of unit.
    • Compact size makes it even a great grinder for traveling!
    • Doserless chute on front is removable for cleaning.
    • Removable stainless steel catch tray allows easier cleaning versus a fixed tray.
    • Accessories included: removable stainless steel catch tray and instructional sheet.
    • Warranty: 1 year parts and labor
    Specifications:
    • Approximate measurements:: 14.5" H x ~5" W (including knob) x 8.325" D (including lower catch tray).
      Depth without tray: 6 3/4 plus an extra inch is needed for cord coming out of back".
    • Approximate Tray Size: 4 1/8" square gets inserted approximately 2 3/8" into grinder.
    • Approximate Weight: 5.8 pounds.
    • Power: 150 watts, 110-120 volts only, 60 hertz.
    • Bean hopper capacity: 5.29 ounces (150 grams).
    • Made in Italy.
    Notes:
    1. Warning: Be careful to not allow the burrs to touch and lock up the grinding burrs. This will not be covered under warranty if you lock up the burrs.
    2. Warning: If there are coffee beans in the hopper, the grinder should be turned on and running when changing settings more than 1 knob rotation. The reason is that the grinds can stick to the burrs - especially when turning the knob finer.
    3. CLEANING WARNING: We recommend using grinder cleaning agents. We do not recommend any removal of the burrs or burr carrier for cleaning as re-assembly can cause damage.
    4. ELECTRICAL WARNING: To avoid electrical damage to this espresso grinder which is not considered a manufacturer's defect, please acquire and install a single-outlet surge suppressor rated at 1080 joules or higher. The lack of the recommended surge suppressor, the espresso grinder can be damaged at the power switch, the capacitor, the motor, or the wiring.
    5. We recommend the Lelit as a grinder dedicated to one brew type. This means set it for a certain type of grind and leave it. You will still have to adjust (usually 1 to 5 turns) to compensate for bean type, oils, humidity, etc.
    6. Please note however, while less prone to cracking- this hopper is not tinted and sunlight may affect your beans faster.
    7. Every Grinder gets tested by Lelit, every grinder will arrive with coffee grinds.
