Using lighter roasts I had to use the inner ring set to -5 and 1 in the outer ring, in order to pull a decent shot (also had to increase yield for it to not be sour)
Amazes me how many reviews never actually show the grinder in use by the reviewer WITH SOUND. I'm looking for a nice, quiet grinder and this one is supposed to be. But finding a review to actually hear it...seemingly impossible.
How would you compare it to the Wilfa Svart? I mostly do V60 with the occasional espresso for which I can use a separate grinder… should I upgrade from Wilfa to Opus?
My grinder was a gift. I am so very sad. It simply does not work. No connection at all . Plugged in or not plugged in, there is no differnce. There is no connection. It simply does not work. As a gift, I have no idea where to go or what to do. It just sits on my kitchen counter and is never used because it simply does not work.
I’ve had issues with mine. I’m on my third one now. I will say they have excellent customer service.
Well, that’s the good at least.

I’m glad it worked for you. I used 18g and a solid medium roast. I think dosing up would be a good move if needed.

That's a good point. I would not call it quiet, but it's not as loud as my Baratza Vario-W.
I find it quiet, especially for a budget grinder, much quieter than the Baratz EncoreESP

I don't think you need to upgrade, unless you just like the aesthetics of the Opus compared to the Wilfa.
I love Wilfa, he is a great, reliable worker. But I don't grind espresso on it.
Fair enough!
Not worth it. Broken after 5 months and slow response from customer service
Hate to hear that. Thanks for sharing though.

If you reach out to Fellow, I bet they help you get a replacement.
