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

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

This!! I had the same experience. The mess and the retention was a nightmare. When my customers ask for recommendations Fellow opus it's a big nope from me.

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.

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

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!

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

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

A very helpful discussion, and including the Baratza Encore ESP and the Fellow Opus, from espresso guru James Hoffmann: The Best Espresso Grinder Under £250 -- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G7xGhGtvYIs&t=1301s. Also, note that Fellow is coming out with its next generation of the Opus at any time n

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
