Opus

Correct. When I joined Fellow in November of 2020, Opus was already designed. There was a lot of stuff I wanted to change but couldn't. This is the blank piece of paper version of what I wished we could do. The grinder for the money is ridiculous.

I also have both and, like you, do not plan on buying an espresso machine. But I've had a lot of fun experimenting between a conical (Opus) vs. a flat (Ode 2) burr grinder. So I'm keeping both for now to experiment with different styles of coffee. The Opus was a great deal when I bought my Fellow Ai

I’m very happy with my affordable Fellow Opus (I bought from my company’s “rewards program” shop so it was f-r-e-e). With regular cleaning, it’s superb.

Sounds promising, and starting at US$199.95 (US$50 more for non-black, white versions and with a wood lid). https://www.reddit.com/r/espresso/comments/1s1nmzp/fellow_opus_2_in_the_wild_li

I got a chance to play around with one of these at a fellow es1 class. let me tell you, for $200, there is nothing on the market even close to it. the stepless adjustment is maybe a touch too firm, but the action is smooth and its the right balance between dialing in to exactly where you want it, bu

It’s in the weeds for sure and a lot comes down to preference. The fellow opus is an entry level electric grinder at the same price as a manual hand grinder. It has options for espresso and options for coarse grinds for pour over, so it’s multifunctional. I never even considered the burr type or siz
