New Video: The Best Espresso Grinder Under £250

I see alot of people having trouble with the fellow opus, thankfully, someone in the video comments pointed out about the alignment. you're supposed to push down the blue ring and then adjust the outer ring. then for the next time, just move the outer ring to 1 to reset the alignment and then you ca

Help me choose a coffee grinder!! [$500 budget]

Had a Fellow Opus, don’t recommend it. The opus is all plastic, for espresso the micro adjustments are unnecessarily complicated and shortly after a year it kicked the bucket and refused to work. Local repair shops have been unable to get the part that got fried. The Ode is pourover or immersion onl

DF54 vs Fellow Opus Gen 2

I would never take fellow up on their word without actual product experience. Seen their trackrecord a bit and would not be suprised if the Opus gen 2 has a even bigger retention than the first gen lol

I had to make an account to whine about the Fellow Opus

Best thing I did with my fellow opus was sell it on eBay and get a different grinder.

Opus 2 Conical 48mm coming soon

I’ve been testing our dev units and consistently have seen retention at 0.1g or less - usually less. From a coffee nerd / ex barista standpoint (not just a “hi I’m Hailie from Fellow,” standpoint), I am beyond excited for opus 2.

Grinder recommendation

This video is probably a good starting point https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G7xGhGtvYIs Probably the Baratza Encore ESP or Fellow Opus are your best options

Got a whole bonus shot from one good slap on my Opus

Impressive. I never got that much, but I did the Opus Rock each and every grind until I upgraded to a Eureka. ;) Somebody posted yesterday about a "free" Opus and a commentor linked this review with thorough measurements: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pGti7BKKgEg Fellow is saying they are getting

Baratza Encore ESP Pro, it's what cured my rage after the Fellow Opus. Whatever you do, do NOT get an Opus. With the Encore ESP Pro you're good to grind just about anything from a reputable brand for $299.

New to this, new set up

It’s a solid grinder, but will not work for espresso. I had it and switched to a Fellow Opusdon’t buy the Opus Return the grinder and get the DF54.
