Fellow Opus Espresso Shots

I have been trying out some $200 conical coffee grinders, today I wanted to try the Fellow Opus with Espresso. So far I have not been overly impressed with the flavors that the Opus was producing for pour over methods. Hopefully its a bit better for espresso.

They tell you one to two for espresso but for espresso i actually use a 3 to 3½ on the Opus comes out perfect no sour at all and sweet on the end. I have a Legato machine. I want a df64 e or v tho and just use the opus gor my pour overs. I font know if thats the right. Hoice to make tho....

Nice video I remember once upon a time, the only budget espresso grinder you could buy, was ascaso i2

[@aimorallo638]

So for espresso and pourover, which one's better as an all around grinder? SK40, Opus, or Encore ESP?

[@portakeeper]

MAN! Its all in the video! I kid, kinda. Opus hard pass. SK40 fave, ESP and SD40 are similar in terms of adjustability and shot quality. All 3 do pour over great.

@@portakeeper Just wanted to confirm that I'm making the right choice of spending a little bit more for the SK40. The Opus is tempting here since it's the most affordable among the three. Was contemplating getting the SD40 but then I saw your SK40 vid and its stepless adjustment seems more appealing.

@@aimorallo638 Cant really make the decision for you unfortunately.

​@@aimorallo638us and it makes very good espressos. I fo love the pour overs as well. I'm leaning to using it exclusively for my pour overs and buying a df64 e for my espressos tho. You won't be disappointed in the opus.

Didn't touch the micro adjustments?

[@portakeeper]

I did, but who’s going to take the hopper off every time to do a micro adjust. More or less you have the big notches on the adjustment and can fine tune with micro. Just a pain I think.
