Opus

Had a Fellow Opus, don’t recommend it. The opus is all plastic, for espresso the micro adjustments are unnecessarily complicated and shortly after a year it kicked the bucket and refused to work. Local repair shops have been unable to get the part that got fried. The Ode is pourover or immersion onl

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

Best thing I did with my fellow opus was sell it on eBay and get a different grinder.

It seems that the Casa excels at light and medium roasts with the Key being a little bit less focused on that ran

FWIW: Meraki has a gen 2 that’s taking preorders now, and might be worth waiting for (improvements in grind adjustment and e61 58mm portafilter/accessory compatibility, among other tweaks). Not sure when the gen 2 actually ships The Fellow S1 seems to be reviewing well, but avoid the Opus at all cos
