Discovered Mythical not long before I moved.

Found your video as I just unboxed my new Opus today. I was using an Oxo conical grinder (about $100) for my v60 pour overs and a Baratza Sette 30 (~$250) for espresso. Neither are capable of doing both so when I read about the Opus and that it could actually handle a range of grinds from espresso to pour-over/drip, consolidating to one grinder was my main motivation. After just a day (4 pour over grinds, 4 espresso grinds), I'm disappointed in the manual they included - no mention of the inner ring. No way I could get espresso to pull using the 1 or 2 setting recommended for espresso. I ended up getting some mediocre cheaper beans so I can dial it in. Started with the lowest (fine) recommended setting for pour over, a 5, and the coffee was undrinkable. Pushed it up to 6, same thing. I don't know if the Opus came out of calibration or if their recommendations are just wrong. Then try to figure out the inner ring that isn't mentioned anywhere in the included documentation. That's how I found your channel - Fellow's ability to communicate how to use a product just plain sucks. Even watching the videos from Nick (VP of engineering), it's incomplete and not helpful. I'll spend the next several days hopefully dialing things in but I can't believe that a year after launching this, the Fellow created videos on grinding for espresso really do stink.

Great cinematography. I live in Japan, got an origami dripper and I've been making coffee like this the whole summer! I put a lot less ice in the pot though. Nice touch that you combined it with photography, and introduced the photo camera as well. Which camera do you use for shooting videos?

I just got it and tried it out, I can see the appeal, it's easy and pretty fun to use. I'd say the main drawback is it doesn't fit a lot of water , it would've been nice to get two shots out of it. But there have to be some compromises for such a small and portable machine.

Ok, 1 year review... love this grinder. I use it for both aero press and espresso (with robot). It is super simple to switch between the 2 settings and super simple to dial in. I can't think of a better budget setup than this and the aeropress. If I'm really really tired, the hand grind becomes a chore, but generally it's a nice way to wake up. I'm done grinding by the time the water is heated (oxo pour over kettle - do they still make these?). The only problem I had was when I first used it it stopped grinding. I still don't know why, but I took it apart, found nothing amiss, put it back together and it magically worked. Zero problems since. Great review Aaron. The tear down especially. Wish I had seen this at the time, that little staple that holds it together was a bit confusing.

Is the tamper compatible with the force base plates?

Is there any place to order this coffee?

I completely understand because I grow my own cannabis supply and press my own concentrates. Different temperatures bring out different profiles.

I wish they made a higher capacity version because I love the spout design on this. It looks like you can get really close to the coffee bed on a V60 02.

Followed your design more or less besides the knob with a dosing ring. I had to check around for measurements like for my bellow's outer diameter and hopper's inner diameter which was 70MM so I know my coaster can be glued on the top (my bellow has a hard cap attached but I still wanted that aesthetic) Burrs are aligned with aluminum shims and dial is calibrated for espresso! I did however switch out the phillips machine screws for the burrs (4MM x 10MM 4pcs) with countersunk allen machine screws as phillips tend to get stripped easy when its too tight... Got some knurled thumb screws (5MM x 16MM 2pcs) for the plastic front so I can just use my fingers when removing it, and a black self-tapping allen screw (4MM x 12MM) for the 3D printed knob. The coasters I had on hand, both 8CM looked a bit paler and dry so I used a combination of beeswax and mineral oil to give it some color and also protect it from soaking up water when wiping it down. It also has some grip tape on the bottom corners and the base has the round metal plate so it doesn't lift when taking the dosing cup since the coaster has a magnet. Its just oddly satisfying making a budget product work well but also look and feel nice use.

Great video. I'm considering this grinder (D54) vs the Niche Zero. What are the key differences? I plan to use it for espresso and filter. I know there's big price difference, but l'm just trying to weigh up the pros and cons against the price. Any help would much appreciated!

Just subbed because of this video. What recipe do you use for your Japanese iced coffee?

Power bricks are a deal breaker…period.

Can you briefly explain to me how you found your perfect espresso setting? Have you found the point at which the grinder starts to buzz and then you inserted this plastic indicator and then turned it ever so slightly more or less? How good are you at determining broth recipes?

So that was a 15g:50ml ratio am I getting this right? At a fairly "fine" setting. I thought you do pour overs quite course. If Moka is supposed to be around 70clicks, and you can pour over at 60, espresso at a much lower click. What's the point of the remaining 200 clicks or what not here?

This is interesting and helpful to see. I have been using the K6 with a Gaggia Carezza with its pressurized portafilter. With that set up I am finding I have from 33-39 clicks works best from the darker through to lighter roasts, interestingly finer than you did. I am switching to an unpressurized portafilter which can be done on my machine and have been told to go finer when i do. After watching your video I am not so sure! I will start at 35 and go from there but maybe not use my special bag of beans I am about to open, I might waste a few shots getting this right! Up to this point I am very happy with the K6 though, not used it for anything other than espresso so far but after watching your video I might try pour over with it.

Arizona is underrated across the culinary board. So many gems.

Another beautiful cinematic. The music, the lighting, the editing, the story, everything perfect. Do you know anything in regards to the osmotic flow brewing method? I would love to see one on that. Would also love to see a tutorial on it, being that it's one of those methods that seem like it shouldn't work, and yet some folks swear by it. Anyway, great job buddy. 💯

❤❤❤ love the grinder

The Barn is one of the best roasteries in Germany.

That backlight 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Beautiful video! Greetings from Argentina bro🫰🏼

Very nice! Iced coffee is my daily coffee 95% of the time. I noticed you got 12 grams there but may I ask what the weight of the brew was? I came up with a recipe of 27g in and 420g for the brew. But I’ll use one giant ice cube about 100g and then pour over with water the rest of the 320g. Then I’ll just pour it over more ice. I call it the “Forever 27 Brew” ;)

Coffee and photography 😁

This is such a vibe! Thank you for another great video! ☕

Whats your favorite grinder for pour over coffee?

Iv'e always had a love of many Japanese things, whether its car culture or photography, or their unwavering attention to detail and passion for a craft. Coffee is no exception in Japanese culture and one of my favorite hot day treats is a Japanese style iced coffee aka flash brew. Do you like iced coffee brewed this way?

is anyone having trouble finding it on amz europe? it seems out of stock or overpriced at 320 € instead his previous offer at 255 €...

I hope you can review HiBrew H10A and Starseeker E55 next video😁

I was just gonna try and pick the branding off with an exacto knife and alcohol

Great video! I remember in some comparison videos in the past you were using 078 at max rpm to match other grinders. Have you stayed at 1400rpm? Thanks!

The normcore is self leveling not self calibrating like the force tamper

You also have to set the depth for your 30 pounds on the normcore

Well, Turin Legato (Apex, etc.) is quite impressive. I won't tell the "pros" here but the 4 main "cons" I detected: 1/ pre-infusion is at full pressure destroying the puck, (solution would be to implement some new knob dimming pi pressure and launch the extraction in a smooth way) 2/ no OPV (but this should be not difficult to implement for next version), 3/ spare pieces? where? 4/ weak shower screen, Former version of the Legato had a HUGE flaw wrt pre-infusion. And they fixed it (but see point 2 above, remaining flaw) because famous people complaining recently on YT !! This model is quite old and spread in Asia etc. There are factories for grinders and different factories for espresso machines. I will wait, not bying until they fix the 3 first main "cons". But let's say it is not "difficult" to implement an OPV and a dimmer to control the pression out of the pump. That should be a hack to controll manually pre-infusion. So maybe RIP gaggia classic,..., or evolve quickly, I mean true "evo v2".

Can the average coffee drinker justify the price?

Perfect timing! I was just getting ready to start researching options for an upcoming trip down that way in the fall! Any reccomendations over into NM by chance? We're making a big loop starting and ending in phoenix - grand canyon, albuquerque, santa fe, white sands NP, tuscon all on the loop.

I loved this buddy. This kind of relaxing, cinematic videos, is my favorite kind to create as well. I love how you gave a tiny look into your personal life. Very well done, I loved it. You should definitely make more like this. 🔥

Love it! More of these please. Also, dig the coffee vibes pin and chill music. The notes at the end are a nice touch too. Keep it up!

Quanta paz em um vídeo

Please enjoy some relaxing summer afternoon coffee brewing! Information about this beautiful coffee is at the end of the video and in the description. I enjoy making these kinds of videos, do you like them? Do you want to see more like this?

Have you experimented with any of the ssp burrs ?

These are 4 of my favorite Arizona coffee shops. What’s your favorite coffee shop?

I like this content. I like coffee nerd stuff. Maybe take us along on a cupping.

Great review. I have been a pourover guy until I just purchased a Picopresso to dip my toes in the espresso arena. However hearing my Timemore Chestnut C2 is not going to cut it and this may be a good option. Any recommendation of a budget single dose electric that would be equivalent? I prefer medium to darker roasts. Mor chocolaty nutty notes more than citrus or floral. Thanks for any input. New sub.

Presta always has the wildest beans, crazy fermentations

❤❤❤❤❤

Theses 4 are a must.....but Please don't forget Aerial, Light🤍Heart, and CoffeeBuilders as well!! Great job (and great videography) Aaron!!! 🖤🎥📸☕️🥤☠️⚓️🏴‍☠️

Did you know a 4th gen AZ'n is a coffee farmer? Family history goes way back, mostly in the Jerome/Cottonwood area (I was born in Tempe). The coffee industry there sure has blossomed since we moved in '16.

As a fellow Arizonan I needed this. Thank You! Press Coffee Roasters and Yellowspruce Roasters are well worth checking out as well. Enjoy.

I love nerdy barista’s! Oh and free cuppings are fantastic!
