Opus 2

Dialing in new beans on their Opus 2 sometimes takes one shot and sometimes wastes three or four.

“Sometimes I can get it nailed on and waste one shot but other times 3/4 shots are wasted.”

Very happy with their new Opus 2 for filter and espresso: switching settings is simple, dialing in is quick, and it's fast and clean.

“it's a fantastic grinder, extremely quick and clean. I really wasn't expecting to like it because I thought it looked cheap in pics and videos”

Loves their Opus 2, their first real grinder upgrade, and its range for both pour over and moka pot.

“Love my opus 2, was my first real upgrade from the cheap amazon grinders.”

Extremely impressed with the Opus 2 for espresso for the price, paired with a Cafelat Robot.

“I will say I have been extremely impressed with the Opus 2 for espresso, especially for the price.”

Kept their Opus 2 over a DF54: in an A/B test with medium roasts they preferred the Opus's fuller body and lower acidity, and its workflow.

“I did an A/B test with medium roast beans and preferred the test of the Opus. More full body and less acidity.”

Enjoying the Opus 2 and getting good results with medium-light roasts from espresso through pour-over; wishes it had a custom bellows.

“I’m really enjoying the opus 2. Getting good results with medium- light roasts for espresso up to pour over.”

Uses an Opus 2 at work for everything from pour-over to espresso; sees only a small layer of grounds now and then, less retention than pricier grinders they've owned, and is impressed for the price.

“Have the Opus 2 at work and it’s been great for pour-overs to espressos. Every once in a while I’ll see like a dime-sized little layer of grounds under it”

Owns an Opus 2 and compares it with their parents' Timemore Bricks 01s: the Opus is better for espresso, the Bricks for pour-over, and the plastic build doesn't bother them.

“I own the fellow opus 2 and my parents have the bricks 01s. I find the fellow to be superior in espresso but I prefer the bricks for pour overs!”

Owns several Fellow products; says the Opus 2 is a different grinder from the first Opus, with very low retention and great burrs, and far better than the DF54.

“the Opus 2 is practically a totally different grinder - very low retention and great burrs, it's far better than the df54.”

Owns an Opus 2 and a K-Ultra and finds both good options, though the K-Ultra gives cups they prefer.

“I have both, and both are good options. I prefer the cups from my K Ultra!”

Upgrading from an Encore to an Opus 2 (with a Stagg XF) let them taste fruit notes at home for the first time.

“Recently upgraded from Chemex and Baratza Encore to Fellow Opus 2 and Stagg XF pourover plus Oxo ORB. For the first time at home I was tasting fruit notes in coffee.”
