Hey friends,
I’m having a hard time deciding between the Eureka Mignon Filtro and the new Fellow Opus. Since I’m aiming for single dosing, I was leaning towards the Opus. I’ve seem people complaining about retention on Eureka Filtro.
But the prices are seriously making me have second thoughs. In Europe the Opus costs around 250€, quite more than the 180€ Eureka price. Which one would you pick?
I own the Eureka - for my purposes, and the price I paid, it’s fantastic. It grinds great for filter coffee, and I can fine tune it to my heart’s content. It gives nice, consistent results.
But you’re right, the retention is not good. I’m looking into getting some sort of 3D printed bellows so I can flush out the retained grounds - I’ve otherwise resorted to tapping the hopper a good few times to get the last gram or two out.
I did originally consider the Fellow Ode 2 or the Opus but the price was just too much. I’m sure they’re excellent but I couldn’t justify spending so much money, €180 for the Eureka is already quite a lot.
thanks for sharing your experience. I’ve seem indeed people using 3D printed bellows and an inclined platform to deal with retention. But these mods aren’t very cheap.
