Opus

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.

I got a chance to play around with one of these at a fellow es1 class. let me tell you, for $200, there is nothing on the market even close to it. the stepless adjustment is maybe a touch too firm, but the action is smooth and its the right balance between dialing in to exactly where you want it, bu

My wife bought me a bambino (not plus) and a fellow opus (not the best but idc it works fine) for my birthday a month ago. I imagine it was right around your price range. Now I make up lattes everyday.

would not shim, the S3 burr design is not really great for espresso, unless a pressurized basket is used - which is not the "true" espresso really hand grinders are generally not that great for espresso, grinding always takes time and effort and might be inconsistent between shots, depending on how

if chosing between C5 ESP and S3 ESP, get the S3 ESP - with an understanding that it is for espresso only, plus maybe the moka pot or save a bit more, and get an electric one, which is way better for espresso - nowadays, probably the upcoming Fellow Opus 2 ($200, completely new and reworked design t
