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

probably the price difference, though i have df83v and it's the best piece of tech i own, the upgrade from fellow opus (1st gen) was astronomical. I don't think df64 would be anywhere near as different from it as fellow opus was, after a certain point the increase in price starts to give you diminis

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

New Fellow Opus 2! $200. Mine has been great for espresso with my Breville dual boiler.

I also have both and, like you, do not plan on buying an espresso machine. But I've had a lot of fun experimenting between a conical (Opus) vs. a flat (Ode 2) burr grinder. So I'm keeping both for now to experiment with different styles of coffee. The Opus was a great deal when I bought my Fellow Ai

For drip coffee, I wouldn't get anything cheaper than the OXO conical burr grinder: https://www.amazon.ca/Brew-Conical-Burr-Coffee-Grinder/dp/B0CM9Z6HYF Edit: Wait wait this one's cheaper and also a real burr grinder! https://www.amazon.ca/Bodum-Bistro-Electric-Coffee-Grinder/dp/B0043095WW If you're

I started with a manual KINGrinder K6, very affordable for what it offers. After a year, I got tired of hand grinding, so was using it with a drill for another year, which is a great conversation starter with the guests, haha. Then I found the Fellow Opus in a discount for 150 EUR shipped, and am ve

the fellow opus gen 2 is a total redesign from the fairly poorly received gen 1 with great espresso capabilities and the grind range to handle all the way to pour over. it doesn't ship till mid May but we have a demo unit at work and it's been really impressive for the price point of $199.
