New Video: The Best Espresso Grinder Under £250

I see alot of people having trouble with the fellow opus, thankfully, someone in the video comments pointed out about the alignment. you're supposed to push down the blue ring and then adjust the outer ring. then for the next time, just move the outer ring to 1 to reset the alignment and then you ca

DF54 vs Fellow Opus Gen 2

I would never take fellow up on their word without actual product experience. Seen their trackrecord a bit and would not be suprised if the Opus gen 2 has a even bigger retention than the first gen lol

Opus 2 Conical 48mm coming soon

I’ve been testing our dev units and consistently have seen retention at 0.1g or less - usually less. From a coffee nerd / ex barista standpoint (not just a “hi I’m Hailie from Fellow,” standpoint), I am beyond excited for opus 2.

Got a whole bonus shot from one good slap on my Opus

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

Frustrations with DF64 gen 2

My Fellow Opus retains about 2 grams per grind. I have to beat it out I am talking like body slam it to get .3 short of my initial grind amount. I have successfully managed my anger in the morning by beating my grinder silly every morning at least two separate times multiple beatings per usage. I am

Best coffee grinder in 2026 for home? My Budget $100–$300

This!! I had the same experience. The mess and the retention was a nightmare. When my customers ask for recommendations Fellow opus it's a big nope from me.

Bambino + DF54 - Best bang for my buck first station?

I have a Fellow Opus. I haven’t owned anything else and the coffee is good ish. It makes a mess and grounds build up like crazy. I can’t speak on any other grinder but know you’ll be cleaning that thing twice a week inside and out.

Friendly reminder that every grinder has 0% retention… if you hit it hard enough

Is the Baratza encore esp bad for retention? I have the fellow opus, so I assume anything would be an upgrade in terms of retention lol

Married with a Machine? [€1000]

I went with a Profitec Go and Eureka Mignon grinder and feel like I made a great entry without needing to upgrade any time soon. For me, PID was a must to reduce sources of frustration and thereby Profitec Go (on discount) was most sensible if I wasn't going to add it myself on a silvia or gaggia. W

Need suggestion for grinder to pair with bambino plus [under $200]

Fellow Opus. Baratza ESP also a great option. I’ve had both because I’m sick in the head. Fellow is a little quieter, looks better, but has some grind retention issues that don’t both me but may bother you. I like that the Opus has a timer to stop, so I don’t have to run across my house to stop grin
