Opus

If you’re serious about coffee, you need to get a burr grinder. We started with a ceramic hand mill! They’re very budget and space friendly, though obviously it adds a bit of time. We’ve since upgraded to the Fellow Opus Gen 2

I have personally continued to align to Fellow equipment. I used a 200$ gift card that moved along with my ES1 to recently commit to the Opus 2. I am currently using a Mokkom 64 and its ok. But I think getting a little more from my Fellow setup is where I was going with this purchase. Overall I hope

Recently picked up a Fellow Opus Gen 2 for $199 and love everything about it. They have fixed all the retention issues with the previous gen

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

tbh, not for me... I have Timemore grinders with both folding handle (S3) and bent handle (C3esp, C5esp) and whenever possible, would buy the bent handle - non-PRO the S3 was not available with a bent handle for espresso, consider electric - Fellow Opus 2 (not original Opus) might be both affordable

3 1Zpresso J-ultra (my first grinder). Amazing for espresso and travel. I use it all the time. Varia VS3 v. 2 with Hypernova Ultra-S burrs (it’s been great no problems and it has the small power brick) Fellow Opus. Picked it up in FB marketplace for $100. Couldn’t pass it up. I don’t use it much. Bu

No it won't grind fine enough unless you use the pressurized baskets that come with your Bambino. I made very good espresso that way, especially with milk drinks. I recently bought a Fellow Opus 2 ($200) and it is perfect for making espresso. Grinds powdery and consistently. Fairly quiet but not as

I just had the best Americano on my fellow series 1 and opus 2 grinder. Great set up and walks you through it. Every “budget” machine has issues, I started with a bambino, want to get good at espresso start there, want to get past all the frustration and tinkering don’t start there. My suggestion lo

Sorry, but you would not be satisfied with a new machine with all those features for $150. A decent enjoyable choice would be a Breville Bambino ($300) and Fellow Opus 2 grinder ($200). A built in grinder will eventually be a problem. I'm not being snobish when I say there is a minimum level of qual

Yes, a Bambino paired with an Fellow Opus 2 would make great espresso easily for 500$ total, the Bambino Plus and grinder for 700$ (plus a few thousand dollars in accessories😵‍💫).
