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

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.

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

Gifted an incredible machine but can’t afford a top tier grinder to match…what’s good enough? [$250]
The new Fellow Opus 2. USD $200. Near zero retention, the burrs are great all rounders for roast level/espresso to filter brew methods.

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

Best espresso grinder for $500 or less? [$500]
I second this, I also came from a fellow opus and the retention and more intuitive adjustment dial have been great improvements

Electric Coffee Grinder
Fellows Opus - $480 or soDon't let the plastic body put you off as they spent all the money on high quality conical stainless burrs.Not a lot of retention and once dialled in really great crema and espresso.

Recs for an electric grinder for filter coffee with a small profile?
That helps immensely. Since you enjoy dark roast filter coffee… I’d highly recommend the Fellow Opus 2 that is just hitting the market. It is supposed to address the retention issues of the original Opus, and was completely redesigned. Many colors, massive burrs, and only $199 USD in black. Small fo

Thoughts on the new Fellow Opus Gen 2?
Hello ! Fellow just made an exhibition in Thailand for the opus 2 and honestly we can just look at opus 2 as a grinder that looks like opus 1 but the whole inside is a completely different set up that fixes retention / speed / ease of use and reduces all the clogs. I’m definitely gonna buy it once I
