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

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

Just got one today. I’m super confused. Is the Opus 2 not for medium-light roasts? Im brewing espresso with the fellow drop profile for JBC Twisted Espresso.

The Shardor 64mm wins by a landslide and I have both. The Fellow Opus is visually appealing. The magnetic cup is fun. The grinds are great for espresso and drip. I don't even mind the precision adjustments using the inner ring. However, unless you want to play the Bongo drums multiple times a day th

How is your taste experience with grinded coffee for espresso by opus fellow? Mine was horrible. Dud you make use of microadjustments? Ive never bothered. Ivenow changed to a niche zero amd its a complete game changer!

I'm having the exact same issue. I decided to order a different grinder, because it seems the Fellow Opus can't get fine enough for a 58mm portafilter.

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