| Best for | Households switching between espresso and coarser brew methods | Buyers wanting one sub-£200 grinder for espresso and filter coffee, especially when changing beans |
| Main trade-off | 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. | 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. |
