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

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

Honestly, 2026 market is such a mess. I was looking at Fellow Opus too because it’s easily the best-looking one, but that adjustment ring is a total dealbreaker if you’re switching beans often. I ended up just getting a DF54 last month and for the price, the flavor clarity is insane. It's basically

I tried out the Opus and ended up returning it in favor of the Encore ESP. Fellow made a trade off with the adjustment mechanism in favor of aesthetics. I wanted to like it, but ultimately decided that plus longevity concerns were not worth it. It does look very nice, though.

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

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

I know this is old, but to current and future readers, 6 to 7 is pretty fine on the opus. I use 10 with the internal setting fully open and get great results. I only drink light roasts and use this same grind for pour over, aeropress and moccamaster. I've got a fellow stagg ekg and use temps of 200

I can give it a try, hesitant because the fellow opus, Large outer ring adjustment notches are huge steps (so it seems)

i'd skip the smart grinder pro entirely - retention is awful and it's not great for espresso. Turin DF54 is the best value under $400 right now. flat burrs, low retention, and does both espresso and french press well. Baratza Encore ESP is a close second if you want better customer support and parts

Your best bets are: Eureka Mignon Zero - good for single dosing coffees, small and compact and all around for espresso and drip Eureka Silenzio 55- best for an all around espresso but same burr as the Mignon Zero. This one just has a hopper and has a grinder timer. Baratza ESP - Baratza's answer for
