Opus can grind for all brew methods, from the finest espresso for a true 9-bar shot all the way to the coarsest coffee for cold brew. Fellow’s VP of R&D and Certified Q Grader, Nick Terzulli demonstrates how to grind for the perfect espresso shot.

This video doesn't show how to fine tune the grind settings for pulling an espresso at all

I hope you guys take the advice from reviewers, because I really want this to be the best. Because, honestly you have the best visual design.

Just got my Opus and I love it so far! It has made great filter coffee and I'm so excited to try it for espresso. Thanks for making such an amazing, premium product at a more than accessible price point. Amazing grinder!

Why does my opus takes 4 mins to grind 18g of beans and setting 2?

[mrchedda]

Where is a video on micro adjusting the grind? I purchased this grinder to grind coarse for cold brew and the grinds are fairly fine for coarse. If this can’t grind coarse, it’s such a waste of my time. Can anyone help?

The grinder looks great so far. I got a Breville espresso machine. The 1 setting was too fine and it wouldnt pull from the machine. I used a 3 and it did well. Cant wait to really dial it in.

[austinskillings]

I cannot dial my machine in. Ive done 16-18 grams of beans with the grind size at 3!!! Anything below the pressure guage maxes out and nothing comes out cause its to fine. Is this normal. Does anyone have ideas?

[NedWestveer]

The espresso insert is also great for grinding into an Areopress. Ode was nice innovations but you nailed it with Opus.

When I recieved mine, I think I started at a 2, wouldnt push through until 3.8, and takes 4 to be roughly on time for 18g, 36g shot. Needs to be finer, but at 3.8 it slows down a ton :/

[BraydenGirard]

Not sure if anyone else is having this issue but I can't get a shot to come through unless I am between 4 - 5. My machine is choked right up to 4 on the course dial... I am using a Bambino with this Opus grinder.

Thank you, i got mine today ! I have a question... What will be the recommended number on outer and inner settings for a perfect espresso ?

[parmistroy]

thank you nick for the video, could you please introduce the coffee tamper and coffee stirring also

My Opus is only a month old, used mostly for aeropress, but when i tried to grind for espresso at recommended level 2 grind, my 9 bar breville bambino, wouldnt be able to get any water through the portafilter, and would just stop, when removing the portafilter, that pressure just sprayed out, i had to go all the way up to level 6 grind just to get some water to go through the espresso shot, is this normal?

[creativrabbit]

Is there a reason you guys didn't include a portafilter holder into this model?

[AlexCamerony]

Really thoughtfully designed for an entry level grinder, hope it helps open up great coffee for more ppl

[kylemacdonald]

Using some light roast beans in my flair classic. Inner ring is set to course, outer is about 2.5. Still very hard to use?

[zsoltperegi]

You grind 18grams in 30seconds, means about 0.6g/sec grinding speed. Why is my same Fellow doing today 0.3g/sec best case at grinding level 3. However at the beginning (2-3 months ago), it was same as yours. And I also see the grinds static (stick on the wall, jumping around). Any idea?

[wakeawaken]

How can we get this grinder in Greece?

[fernandomonegui]

Any recommendation to switch between Espresso and pour-over grinding during the day? Just dial for espresso first and then only change the other ring for pour-over?

Hey that’s wonderstate coffee! Roasted just down the road from me. Any chance you guys are located in Wisconsin?
