Opus

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

My Fellow Opus retains about 2 grams per grind. I have to beat it out I am talking like body slam it to get .3 short of my initial grind amount. I have successfully managed my anger in the morning by beating my grinder silly every morning at least two separate times multiple beatings per usage. I am

Yo entiendo que al empezar uno se enfoca en la cafetera. Pero es más importante el molino. Sobre todo si querés ir al espresso. Sábelo, Yo compré la delongui duo y la recomiendo, ví videos de la hibrew y me pareció mejor aún. Pero no olvides un decente molino tipo df54, baratza esp o fellow opus y b

Opus 2 is a "complete redesign" from Opus 1, and that is promising. Ode 2 was not a redesign from Ode 1 (moreso the burr) so that's clear admission by Fellow that Opus 1 was not a good design. There are no reviews for Opus 2, it's not out yet, so you should absolutely wait if you're in no rush to se

I’m very happy with my affordable Fellow Opus (I bought from my company’s “rewards program” shop so it was f-r-e-e). With regular cleaning, it’s superb.

You guys read the post and you come up with a hand grinder rec?! Yikes. OP, the Encore ESP is a solid grinder at $200. It’s reliable and has been around for years, you can’t go wrong. If you can wait until mid-May, the Fellow Opus 2 should be out and at $200 should make for a really strong contender

I think grinder, water, beans and then equipment Grinder because if you have a bad one with inconsistent ground size then you’ll get a bad brew. That said I don’t think you need to go super expensive of you can’t afford. I think the fellow opus is good enough. Water because brewed coffee is mostly w

I have the misfortune of owning 2 Fellow products (Opus and Stagg) and absolutely hate both of them. As far as the Opus goes, the inner burs have been a repeat issue (Fellow has had to send me 2 separate replacements), retention is a major issue, cleaning is a headache, dialing in with the inner rin

Agree. Fellow products look great on my countertop. But the Opus grinder clogged terribly on espresso grinds, and their customer service was equally terrible. The electric kettle is good enough for my kids and me, but it would be nice to have more ability to fine-tune the temps. And so on. I was ini

Absolutely do not get a Fellow Opus. Gen 2 will be out in a month or so and I'd eat my wallet if it's not a substantially better grinder on basically every level. Also keep an eye out on the used market for an Ode gen 2. Got mine for 225 and I've seen some as low as 200. The Femobook A2 seems to be
