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

I'm a Flair user. I started with the Kingrinder K6, but I have a Fellow Opus that I use at home now. I know the Kingrinders go on sale pretty frequently on Amazon. The Opus used to as well, but it seems it's being phased out for the Opus 2. It looks like some retailers like Macy's have it on closeou

honestly for your requirements i’d probably look at:Baratza Encore ESPFellow OpusDF54 if you can stretch budget slightly the Encore ESP is probably the safest beginner that just works option. narrow footprint, hopper-friendly, forgiving workflow, easy to live with daily.

I second this, I also came from a fellow opus and the retention and more intuitive adjustment dial have been great improvements

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
