Why we love it
The Fellow Opus is the grinder for people who don't want to be limited to one brew method. It handles everything from fine espresso grinds to coarse French press with 41+ settings, and it does it all while looking like a piece of modern furniture on your counter. The anti-static technology actually works — you won't have grounds flying everywhere. The built-in recipe guide on the hopper lid is a thoughtful touch for beginners who don't know what grind size to start with. It's slightly less precise for espresso than the Encore ESP (wider steps between settings in the fine range), but if you drink pour over on weekdays and espresso on weekends, it's the only grinder you need.

- Premium price for what's essentially a good all-rounder
