Fellow Opus Gen 2 Grinder Matte Black

The Opus 2 is a really good grinder for the price. It is consistent, very simple to use, and has useful features. I have also been getting very good results with it for filter coffee, so I have very few complaints about the actual grinding performance. My biggest criticism is the materials. The design looks great, as with most Fellow products, but there is simply too much plastic, and some of it feels surprisingly cheap. I think Fellow could maintain the same design while using better quality materials, including more metal, without making it dramatically more expensive. What is more surprising is that the grinder does not seem particularly well integrated with the Fellow espresso machine. Both products have plenty of technology, but they do not seem to really work together. Ideally, the espresso machine help you dial in based on the coffee, roast level, dose, and extraction results. That would make much better use of the technology already built into both products. Overall, it is a very good grinder for the price and I am happy with it. I just think Fellow could do much more with the firmware, and connectivity to make it a truly integrated espresso system.

I bought the Opus 2 when the more expensive fancy grinder I got to go with my Fellow Espreso Series 1 kept producing inconsistent grinds and disappointing brews. The Opus 2 worked better instantly and continues to grind any type of coffee beans so now I'm getting really good brews from the Series 1. I'm pretty happy with it. The only thing that I don't love is that it's mostly plastic so I wonder how sturdy it will be.

The size of the machine is great and the grind speed is incredible. It seems well built and looks great next to our Aidan.

nice but intermittently shuts of every 5 seconds or so. other times it works fine. not good for a grinder of this price.

I’ve had this machine for about a month. The grinder noise is very minimal compared to other ones I have had and its consistency in milling is great. I often have to press the grind button numerous times even though it’s supposed to know when the beans are all ground. I’m also finding that I have to thoroughly clean the burrs and chute at least once a week otherwise it will clog/jam. It is a simple process to clean but when it’s 6am and clogging up it will always be an annoyance. Given the cost, 3x of the bodum coffee mill I had before. I’d expect a little more then just a quieter machine.

Opus 2 solves all of the problems of Opus 1 - retention and ease of adjustment. The result is an incredibly easy to use, highly adjustable, smart looking grinder with top notch grind results.

Amazing! I freaking love Fellow Products. This is so easy to clean too which is a huge component for me when it comes to grinders. I'm really happy I got this grinder and would highly recommend it to anyone else!

I purchased the Ode Brew Grinder Gen 2 expecting a premium product to match its premium price. When it was working, the grind quality was very good and I was pleased with the coffee it produced. Unfortunately, my experience with the grinder itself was disappointing. Within roughly a month of purchase, the grinder developed a problem related to the anti-static pins. Cleaning it also required far more disassembly than I expected for routine ownership, and the process resulted in coffee grounds getting everywhere. For a grinder at this price point, I expected better reliability and an easier ownership experience. I also found the return and refund process unnecessarily drawn out after the product was returned. There is a lot to like about the concept and the results when it works, which is why I am giving it two stars rather than one. But based on my experience with reliability, maintenance, and after-sale support, I would not purchase it again.

Grinder is wonderful for the price. Can’t be beat. Mine, however, started clogging after a month of use. Fellow sent me a replacement quickly and it is working great again. Hope this grinder works for years like Baraza did before I replaced it with Opus 2.

Grinds well. But way too much coffee ground debris. It’s everywhere (in the hopper and all around the catch cup). Unlike any other grinder I’ve owned.

Perfect grinder for espresso. Easy to use and no mess.

I have the Ode, but was not happy with having to clean it as much as I was for daily use. I ended up grinding a weeks worth and cleaning once. I found a video of the Opus2 and had to give it a shot. There is a big difference in feel between the two, the Ode being a more solid feel. With that quick comparison, I am highly impressed with the Opus 2. The grind consistency is enough to make me break out my vacuum brewer on weekends. I have used Fellow products, from grinders to the Carter Move mug, for some time now and enjoy each one. I have even converted a few friends who enjoy them as well.

Would be nice to set measurement for cups intended to take guesswork out of measuring

SUCH a big improvement from the Opus one! The grind has less static which keeps the mess way down.

Great grinder that fixed almost all of the issues from the Opus 1. It grinds the beans incredibly fast and has almost no retention. I hope it holds up to the test of time. Only thing is I wish less of the body and components were plastic.

I bought this specifically to pair with my new espresso machine. As I also brew French press, it seemed like this would be a good option to do both brew methods. However, I am a little disappointed. Technically it works for espresso but the adustments for the espresso grinds are not as adjustable as I would have hoped.

Retentions is about 1g. Which you can get used to if you as long as you are not changing beans or grind size. The bigger issue is that in-consistent grinding. At the same setting I can see ground coffee of varying sizes in the same batch, even after purging and discarding the first couple of grams.

I purchased the Opus 2 along with the Aiden coffee maker. Though I am not a coffee drinker, my friends and family who have used the Opus and Aiden over the past month have been pleased with the end result.

It works beautifully and I love the open cup catcher because it’s easier to empty into coffee pot. It’s also beautiful

Warning: The walnut lid fit’s loosely. So using the lid as a bellows does not work very well. Otherwise the grinder works as advertised.
