Is Fellow Opus good for beginners?
It stood out so much that we named it the best entry-level multipurpose grinder in our Best Coffee and Espresso Gear of 2024 Guide. The Opus is Fellow’s first true multipurpose grinder. It produces a proper espresso grind and handles nearly every other brewing method with consistency. Overall, the Opus punches well above its weight as an introductory, all-in-one grinder. While I would perhaps suggest anyone who only makes pour-over coffee to consider splurging on the Ode instead, the Opus is a great option for those on a budget that like to dabble in filter brewing and espresso.Much of the difference in cost between the Ode and the Opus is down to the materials. While the body of the Ode is made mostly of metal, the Opus is much lighter and mostly plastic. Also, importantly, the Opus uses 40-mm conical burrs and the Ode uses 64-mm flat burrs.Opus is made to grind for all brew methods, from espresso to cold brew. Ode is built to dominate brewed coffee, which means that Ode is not suitable for espresso. For more information about Ode vs.
