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?
Just came in the mail. Ground at setting 3 (somewhat randomly) and did 16g coffee, 50 bloom then 4x50 v60 in 30sec intervals with 105f water. The grind is definitely more consistent than my hand grinder and at this setting was finer than what I’ve been grinding at for sometime. What stands out in this first cup is the great mouthfeel. But taste is too strong, muddled and not sweet enough. Looking forward to experimenting. Next time I’ll go a bit coarser and see what happens. The grinder itself is a work of art with excellent build quality.
