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

Frustrations with DF64 gen 2

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

Best coffee grinder in 2026 for home? My Budget $100–$300

Bambino + DF54 - Best bang for my buck first station?

I have a Fellow Opus. I haven’t owned anything else and the coffee is good ish. It makes a mess and grounds build up like crazy. I can’t speak on any other grinder but know you’ll be cleaning that thing twice a week inside and out.

Need suggestion for grinder to pair with bambino plus [under $200]

Fellow Opus. Baratza ESP also a great option. I’ve had both because I’m sick in the head. Fellow is a little quieter, looks better, but has some grind retention issues that don’t both me but may bother you. I like that the Opus has a timer to stop, so I don’t have to run across my house to stop grin

Opus + Fellow ES1 = messy and inconsistent… worth waiting for Opus 2?

x64 looks awesome! Probably would look great next to an all black ES-1. And I hear that Opus paired best with the Aiden, that's one machine I don't have from Fellow lol but at least you can keep both dialed in separately!

Just got my first ever espresso machine, doing something terribly wrong please help [flair classic].

The problem is what appears to be pre-ground coffee. Pre-ground coffee is made for drip coffee machines and not much else, it’s far too coarse for espresso. There is pre-ground coffee made specifically for espresso machines but even that is sometimes ground too coarsely for espresso. Your best bet h

Opus 2 Best Buy

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

Is anyone else suffering like this?

The espresso machine doesn't have to be fancy. They're just pushing water through coffee grounds and even the cheapest ones do 20 bar. You don't need more than 9 bar. I'd ask you if you really like espresso first. Also, where are you getting your beans from? Most people who get into it only do so af
