Opus

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. Opus is more compact/stylish

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.

Check out the new Fellow Opus 2. Great stepless adjustments for espresso. 200$. Mine is perfect for daily espresso but I like to set and leave my settings.

I’m in a similar situation, looking to upgrade from my manual grinder for my work setup. I’ve got a DF64 at home and it’s pretty good, but it’s a bit out of my price range. It’s also a bit annoying with clogging, suffers a bit in the clarity department and maybe most importantly, it’s a bit finnicky

I had a gaggia classic evo pro and a fellow opus grinder for some time now, and it worked perfectly fine. Dialing in was sometimes not that easy, but you'll figure it out I'm shure. Also there are a lot of accessories available for the gaggia wich made it quite cool for me :) Bought it on Black Frid

In this listing on Sur La Table they have a short video. Not much there but shows this must be getting close to release and just shows adjustment mechanism etc. Seems like what the Opus should’ve been to start. https://www.surlatable.com/product/fellow-opus-grinder-gen-2/10152072
