    Conclusion on the Lelit Fred PL44 and PL43

    For espresso, we find it difficult to recommend the Lelit Fred PL44 and Lelit PL43. The particle distribution is too broad, which also affects the flavor of the cup.

    The Lelit PL43 and PL44 are well-suited for grinding espresso-fine and even ristretto-fine grounds. Thus, they fulfill an important basic requirement of cheaper espresso grinders.

    If you prefer cappuccino and other milk-based drinks, you'll find the perfect partner in the small Lelit grinders.

    In many other categories, the grinders performed averagely or at the bottom of the field of the 24 espresso grinders tested.

    Conclusion: Lelit Muehlen
