Fellow Opus vs Opus 2: Which Conical Burr Coffee Grinder Is Right For Your Kitchen?

If you love making café-quality coffee at home, you have likely come across the stunning home brewing gear from Fellow. When they launched the original Fellow Opus Conical Burr Grinder, it quickly became a go-to choice for coffee lovers wanting a single machine that could handle everything from coarse cold brew to fine espresso.

However, even the best kitchen gadgets can be improved. Fellow has officially introduced the Fellow Opus 2, specifically redesigning the machine to fix the quirks of the first generation.

If you are trying to decide whether to grab a bargain on the original model or invest in the new upgrade, let's break down the major differences to help you choose the perfect match for your morning routine.

1. Dialling In Your Coffee: Math vs. Intuition

The single biggest change between these two electric coffee grinders is how you adjust your grind size.

• The Original Fellow Opus: Features a "two-step" macro and micro adjustment wheel. While it gives you plenty of precision, making tiny micro-adjustments for espresso required removing the lid, adjusting an inner ring, and doing a bit of mental maths to find your setting.

• The New Fellow Opus 2: Replaces that entire system with a beautifully smooth, stepless side-mounted dial. There is no more guesswork or arithmetic. You simply turn the side wheel until your grind looks exactly right, making it incredibly intuitive to switch from a morning espresso to an afternoon pour-over.

2. Speed and Efficiency: 40mm vs. 48mm Burrs

Inside any premium coffee grinder, the burrs do all the hard work.

The original machine features 40mm stainless steel conical burrs. For the Opus 2, Fellow stepped things up to larger 48mm conical burrs.

Why does burr size matter? Larger burrs grind coffee beans much faster and more efficiently. In fact, while the original model could take up to a minute to grind a fine double shot, the upgraded version can blitz through an espresso dose in just 9 seconds. Because it grinds faster, the motor runs for less time, creating less friction heat and protecting those delicate, fruity flavours in your specialty coffee beans.

3. Banishing the Mess: Smart Anti-Static & Near-Zero Retention

Nobody wants to spend their morning sweeping stray coffee grounds off the kitchen worktop. The original Opus was an incredible grinder, but it was known for being a bit "sticky," trapping a fair amount of coffee inside the chute (known in the coffee world as grind retention). Users often had to firmly tap the lid to clear it out.

The Opus 2 completely redesigns the internal path. It combines advanced anti-static technology with a smart internal impeller that actively pushes the coffee out. The result? Near-zero retention. What you put in is exactly what you get out, keeping your counter immaculate and your coffee fresh.

4. The Catch Cup Upgrade

Both models feature an elegant magnetic catch cup that snaps perfectly into place beneath the chute. However, the Opus 2 goes a step further by providing two dedicated catch cups:

• A standard cup for your daily filter coffee, drip, and French press.

• A specialized espresso dosing cup designed to fit neatly into standard 54mm and 58mm portafilters, ensuring a spill-free transfer straight into your espresso machine.

About the Brand - Fellow

Fellow was founded in San Francisco in 2013 by Jake Miller under a beautifully simple ethos: to create coffee gear that looks as good as it brews. Driven by a belief that the home kitchen should never compromise on style or professional functionality, the brand completely transformed the modern specialty coffee scene. Over the past decade, Fellow has grown from a wildly successful crowdfunding campaign into a multi-award-winning design powerhouse, renowned worldwide for turning the daily caffeine ritual into a beautifully functional work of art.

Their core mission is to bring commercial-grade precision into the home through thoughtful, intuitive engineering and a sleek, minimalist aesthetic. When expanding into the world of home espresso grinders, Fellow threw out the bulky, noisy rulebook, meticulously developing compact, single-dose machines equipped with high-torque gearboxes and advanced anti-static technology. By pairing professional-grade conical and flat burrs with microscopic adjustment capabilities, Fellow has successfully bridged the gap between elite barista standards and everyday counter space, making the pursuit of the perfect, syrupy espresso shot approachable for everyone.
