Mine also keeps telling me to add water. Why is this happening? Anybody have a solution?

A question for all you experts. Can I use the Gen 2 for espresso if I change burrs? Is the motor strong enough? Mike Sweden

There is a typo on the brew guide for this coffee: Bloom: Pour to 350g water, wait 40 seconds I'm guessing it should read 50g water, wait 40 seconds??

Hello I am running into the same problem with needs water message. I will contact Fellow but this seems to be a product defect in design. I would recommend retain retailers pull the product from their shelves. Crate and Barrel I expect them to tell me to work with Fellow. Not happy for $365....wow what a disappointment. You can buy a $75 machine that works better....

Hey guys. Just bought the opus and wanted to give you a quick feedback. Pros: Lovely design! I don't even mind the plastic. Reminds me to the good old days when we had all those beautiful Braun products of Dieter Rams. I'm making only espressos with it and it's perfect, nice consistency. Somewhere between 1.8 and 2.2 it always grinds perfectly (depends of the coffee). Cons: Inner adjuster: incredibly complicated. No way people understand how it works. There is a LOT of retention left in the machine. Put in 16g, take out 15g. I constantly have to hit the top quite hard for half a minute to get all the leftovers out. I'll be surprise if the poor fellow will survive more than 6 months. The lid-bellows doesn't do it's job at all. The cup is incompatible with a 51mm basket. If you take off the cup's lid and try to poor the coffee to the portafilter, it suddenly slips out of it (because it's anti-static, which otherwise is a nice feature) making a mess, no matter how careful I am. I placed a magnet on the bottom of my 51mm compatible dosing cup and use it instead of the original cup. 3,5 out of 5 stars. Still love ya guys! Hope this lovely product will develop with time. Peace.

Sounds amazing! Thanks for helping everyone try out different coffees with the drops! ☕

Why does my ode gen 2 jam when I have coffee in the hopper? I use setting 4-7, and if there’s coffee beans in the hopper, it jams and stops. I reached out to customer service 12/9/24 and still no response. Also I use light to medium roast beans.

My Fellow Aiden coffee maker keeps asking me to add water when the water reservoir is full. I tried clearing the water feed, refilling the water tank, and restarting the machine but nothing works. What should I do? I've done some research and it seems there are many people having this issue. Apparently, it is a return to Fellow for replacement situation. Looks like Aiden may need to come out with a dot one release of the hardware. I guess we'll go back to good old reliable Keurig. Truly bummed.

Just received my bag! I cant wait to brew!

You mentioned this has a vanilla taste. Do you know of a coffee that when you do what you just did has a caramel taste?

I've watched many reviews even after I purchased my opus and all of them had negative things to say about the inner ring. I understand the frustration especially if you grind coffee for different brew methods, but the inner ring works. In my first couple attempts I managed to dial in and get good shots without any fuss. Just keep a diary for your grind settings if you're not sticking to the same coffee beans. For me the opus works great since I'm brewing coffee from espresso to cold brew and I wish I would watch this video before any other grinder reviews. Thank you Nick for this video.

this is one of the worst grinders i have ever used - for any new home baristas, avoid it like the plague

for $300 I should not have to be a minor mechanic to use this machine!!!

Over priced, under-engineered garbage. Bought one and the heating element failed after the cleaning cycle recommended in the manual. This company only cares about the status their products brings rather than caring about their customers and developing a product that actually works, then making it look good.

Just overpriced garbage. I bought one and the heating element failed after the cleaning cycle suggested in the user manual. Honestly, I would be ashamed to put my name to this company. They care only about the status that their products bring to consumers, rather than caring about the consumer themselves. Just another joke of a company selling you under engineered garbage while claiming to be “the next big thing”

Another drop from Talormade please! I was trying to remember their name it's been so long, I'd love to try more from them

it was included the brush on the fellow opus? I didnt received

These grinders are absolute garbage. I grind 15-20g of coffee a day and this thing gets jammed all the time. Now it just doesn’t work at all. Good to have hipsters make you coffee, but not good to have them attempt to manufacture equipment, total posers.

what's the deal with the water, do i have to add the precise amount in the tank or will it pull based on cup settings?

i find it extremely difficult to turn the burr out

Thanks for the details! There are plenty of vids that make this process simpler, but I am someone who likes to hear the methodology behind it all. Just brilliant 🙏

Sounds delicious! Curious what variables (grind size, pour structure) you might tweak for conical drippers like v60

Would love to see the grind size in these videos

Thanks for the video. What would be the grind setting in Fellow Opus?

my lower/rotating burr broke from its gear (three mounting connectors/"bridges" are broken) ... still on warranty, but is there an option to get a metal version of the low burr mount?

The only thing worse than trying to take this apart is trying to put it back together

Maybe only create the video once the app is actually working?

Welp. I fucked up something on calibration and caused a bunch of damage to the key. Like metal shavings thru my grinder. Is my shit bricked now??? What the fuck man

Surely, it can’t be that easy?! Wait, it is that easy!

Make sure you scratch TF out of the grind size knob when disassembling too. Since the screws are set partially behind the knob 😂

My Opus is on the finest setting possible, with medium roast beans and it's still to coarse. The shot pulls way too fast. What gives?

I cant see the profile for these in my Aiden? Im in the UK and so have purchased directly from square mile, but bonus if I dont have to make a profile myself!

Opus Grind Size?

As great as this video is, there's a couple of parts that are still confusing: For one, he specifies "centering" the burr when screwing it back in... this is super meticulous and I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong. Like, I align it with the screw holes and screw it in, that should be good enough but my OCD is not happy with that Secondly, the calibration. He says to turn it until it "chirps", then take it one click back. Thing is, mine starts to make a very subtle chirp/click one click before the loud chirp like in the video. So if I follow these instructions based on noise, that means that my grinder set at 1 will make a very subtle click/chirping noise, and I'm not sure if that's normal or I need to take it one more click

Hi, I'm going to return this product to Amazon. I've had it for 20 days. I cleaned it, but it’s still not grinding properly. It’s ridiculous!

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ 0:36

can you give general grind recommendations that will help anyone, with any grinder, know where to start? what level coarseness are we looking for when we brew a batch? how about when we brew cold brew? thanks

My coffee is consistently coming out around 120 degrees F…is there a reason it’s coming out colder than normal?

I don't know if I missed it or not because I was definitely not going to watch all 18 minutes of this video, BUT.... how long should you grind the beans?

I have an issue with the carafe not keeping coffee "piping hot" for more than 15 minutes. Did we get the wrong carafe?

I just bought this thing and it stopped working after one use.... I've cleaned this thing and the grinds still do not come.

Is there a water filter for this machine?

There is no "save" option appearing in the scheduling function and I am unable to add multiple schedules

Seriously? 82.5 grams? For those that don't deal, how much is that visually?

I came here as I found I was getting the SOS beep after disassembling my Ode Gen 2 for what should have been a routine clean. I just removed the indicated 4 screws, the Auger key popped out nicely, removed the spring, cleaned with a brush, reassembled and now nothing, the motor is running but it doesn't seem to be meshing with the burrs and the SOS beep keeps sounding. Not a great experience first time out with a £350 grinder.

My brew keeps stopping and telling me to add water despite the fact that the resevoir is full. How do we fix this?

I can´t start a brew from the app, isn´t that possible? Also I can't set a timer or schedule in the app. Those are the two main features I wanted, and none of them works..

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 :/

Do you recommend filter roast from time to time wedelboe for espresso?

Is there a way to have a custom volume? Ie 350ml instead of 300 or 375?
