DespuÃ©s de meses de haber visto y leÃdo reseÃ±as de distintos molinillos para cafÃ©, uno de los mejores (especialmente para espressos) fue Ã©ste, y a decir verdad estoy bastante contento con la compra. El aparato es ruidoso pero no molesto y el diseÃ±o es muy elegante. Y lo que mÃ¡s me agradÃ³ es el anillo interno para afinar los distintos niveles de molienda para algo mÃ¡s exacto y personalizado.

nice look and design, but limited functionality.
– the machine retains a lot of coffee. need to shake it after each use, otherwise blocked completely after a few weeks.
– button function “short press for 30 seconds, 2x short press for 60 seconds… etc) does not work. pressing results in random grinding time of 30s, 60s, or non stop. Useless!
– adjustment of grinding coarseness is not ok for espresso. it covers all graduations from fine to very coarse, but the steps are too far apart. we have the very expensive filter coffee grinder and were looking for an espresso “specialist”.
now we have a super expensive filter coffe grinder and this comparably cheap gringer which also covers mostly filter grade grining, and espresso only very compromised.
– for the costs of both machines we should have bought a really professional grinder, and not two chique useless decoration items.
very dissatisfied.

Love the looks and the quality grinding it offers. The only negative thing is the time it needs to grind the x amount of beans. I tried from dark to light roast beans without any problems until now.

Le moulin Ã cafÃ© Fellow Opus est vraiment impressionnant. Son design moderne et Ã©purÃ© se marie parfaitement avec n’importe quelle cuisine, et il est incroyablement facile Ã utiliser. Les diffÃ©rents rÃ©glages de mouture permettent d’obtenir la granulomÃ©trie parfaite, que ce soit pour un espresso serrÃ© ou un cafÃ© filtre lÃ©ger.

De plus, il est robuste et durable, ce qui en fait un excellent investissement pour tout amateur de cafÃ©. Je suis ravi de cet achat !

Amazing
I couldnât be more thrilled with the Fellow Opus Conical Burr Coffee Grinderâit has transformed my coffee routine! As a coffee enthusiast, Iâve gone through a few grinders, but the Fellow Opus truly stands out with its incredible design, precision, and consistency. From the moment I took it out of the box, I was impressed by its sleek, modern look. It feels sturdy and well-built, with every detail thoughtfully designed.
One of my favorite features is the 40+ grind settings, which makes it super versatile for any brewing method. Whether Iâm in the mood for a rich espresso, a balanced pour-over, or a bold French press, the Fellow Opus handles it all. The conical burrs ensure a uniform grind, which I can taste in the cupâthe flavors are more vibrant, and the aromas more pronounced than with my previous grinders. Itâs amazing how this one tool brings out the best in every coffee bean, highlighting notes I didnât even know were there.
The grinderâs functionality is just as impressive. The dial for adjusting the grind size is easy to use, and switching between settings is seamless. Plus, itâs incredibly quiet, which is a game-changer for early mornings when I donât want to wake up the whole house! Iâve had other grinders that sounded like power tools, but the Fellow Opus operates with a gentle hum thatâs easy on the ears.
Another aspect that I appreciate is the Fellow Opusâs ease of cleaning. Taking it apart to clean is straightforward, and itâs simple to keep it in pristine condition without much effort. This is huge because consistent maintenance keeps the grind quality high over time.
Overall, Iâm beyond happy with this grinder itâs worth every penny. Itâs obvious that Fellow put a lot of thought into designing something that is not only aesthetically pleasing but also exceptionally functional. The Opus has become an essential part of my kitchen, and itâs completely elevated my coffee experience. Iâd recommend it to any coffee lover looking for top-notch quality, precision, and a grinder that makes each cup a joy to brew.

If you want great coffee at home, this grinder is worth every penny!

Works well, looks good, but... I like the Fellow design style. It's simple, and unobtrusive. I use the grinder for pour-over, AeroPress, and Moka Pot coffee making. Adjusting the grinder to the suggested appropriate settings works out well. Whether or not the Opus really gives a usable espresso grind is left for others to comment on. That's the good news. The receiver cup's somewhat problematic. Fellow's Ode grinder uses a strong magnet to hold the cup in place. For some reason, the Opus uses a weaker magnet than can be easily overcome, meaning the discharge from the grinder may or may not all go into the cup. Maybe this is nit-picking, but why Fellow used a magnet that doesn't firmly hold the cup place escapes me. While the Ode cup has baffles, to direct pouring the ground coffee, that upset at least one YT reviewer, the Opus cup uses flats in the interior to direct pouring. That works - mostly, A ring is fitted to the top of the cup, although I'm not sure I get why it's used. Does Fellow expect ground coffee to billow out of the cup? Beats me. Anyway, the ring has to come off to pour out the ground coffee. Over time, debris from beans builds up both on the actual burrs, and on the sloped floor of the grinder hopper. Someone came up with a silicon bellows that's supposed to blow the debris through the grinder. Don't bother, it doesn't happen. Because the grinder and receiver cup are plastic, "static cling" is the big culprit here. Plan on misting beans with the least bit of water to manage this problem. Keep in mind "more is >not< better". Because of the plastic construction, and the need to take the hopper off for effective cleaning, I'm not sure how this will impact the grinder's service life. The same is true for the adjustment for grind size. There are definite clicks while adjusting the fineness. Again the question of wear and longevity comes to mind. The grinder has only one power control, a push button on the base of the grinder. Push it once, and the motor runs for 30 seconds, which should be more than enough for small batches (i.e., 1-3 cups). Run time can be increased with multiple button presses. The motor can be stopped by pushing the button while the motor's running. At least one YT review objected to the Ode grinder's beeping. It's easy enough to figure out when all the beans in a batch are ground; the motor speeds up noticeably. The same's true for the Opus - and it doesn't beep to announce the obvious. Or does it? For some reason, when the Opus is plugged in, it beeps once. So far, I haven't heard any beeps before, during, or after grinding. But any time I plug the Opus back in, it beeps. Huh? In the main, I'm pleased with the Opus. It's adjustable to different grinds, it works without significant annoyances, and I suspect it'll last for quite a while. It's the niggling details, such as the weak magnet, and the problems with clearing out debris that keep the Opus from a fifth star. A caveat about browsing on the Fellow website. If you look at a particular item on the website. expect to get at least a few IMHO nagging emails about "are you ready to buy [whatever]".

It’s great, it produces reasonably homogeneous grinds, much more quieter than I expected (for a grinder), its easy to use, dial in and clean. I just wished I’ve bought it sooner.

Excellent Coffee Grinder
I was looking for a high-quality coffee grinder that offered versatility and precision, and the Fellow Opus Conical Burr Coffee Grinder exceeded all my expectations!
The matte black design is sleek and fits perfectly in my modern kitchen. Additionally, the build is sturdy and gives off a premium quality feel.
What really stands out are the 41 grind settings. They allow you to adjust the grind for any brewing method, from espresso to French press and cold brew. Iâve tested several settings and was impressed by the consistency of the grind, which makes a huge difference in the coffeeâs flavor.
Another highlight is how quiet it is compared to other electric grinders Iâve used. The interface is intuitive, making it very easy to switch between settings, and cleaning is also super simple.
