Opus

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

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

If you are in the US, then $500 will get you what you want. Bambino for $300 + Baratza ESP or Fellow Opus 2 (don't get version 1!) for $200.

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.

I feel like Fellow has some identity problems.

The Baratza Encore ESP is probably the cheapest mechanical espresso grinder that has decent longevity, repairability, and value for money. Some will recommend the Fellow Opus 2 at a similar price but I personally can’t recommend Fellow

Linea micra with a fellow opus is absolutely wild

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