Independent summary
The original Fellow Opus provides a lower-cost single-dose route than the Niche Zero. It combines 40mm conical burrs, 41 outer settings, an inner micro-adjustment ring, timed auto-stop and a 110g load bin. Bella Barista showed the exact original model at £189 with one white unit left when checked; other UK retailers ranged from £175 to £195 but showed mixed stock states.

Buyers wanting one sub-£200 grinder for espresso and filter coffee, especially when changing beans
Watch out for
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.
