Best for	A first espresso-capable grinder that can also cover everyday filter brewing	Buyers wanting one sub-£200 grinder for espresso and filter coffee, especially when changing beans	Households switching between espresso and coarser brew methods
Main trade-off	Dosing is manual rather than weight-based or timed, and grind quality, retention and noise still need independent testing.	This is the original Opus, not the newly announced Opus 2 with 48mm burrs and a stepless side dial. UK Opus 2 availability is still inconsistent, so compare the exact name and burr specification before buying. The original’s hidden inner ring improves espresso granularity but makes adjustments less intuitive than a single external dial. Anti-static performance needs chute cleaning, and Fellow’s low-retention and grind-quality language remains unverified by Home Coffee Index testing. The recorded retailer warranty is 12 months, and delivery cost must be confirmed at checkout.	Its broad claimed range does not prove that every espresso machine will be easy to dial in; independent retention, noise and grind-distribution tests are still needed.
