Hello! Thanks 4 the video, i was Looking for some vídeos to dial in my Fellow Opus, because i don’t know what’s wrong in my case. Let me explain, when i grind i can’t get lower than number 5 in my grinder, although I’m using good quality fresh beans. The ones I’ve got now are roasted the 28th of August and 85SCA. (I’ve used differents coffees all fresh and over 85SCA. My coffee machine is a sage bambino and I use a bottomless ikape portafilter with the básquet that came with the portafilter. I use a 20gr dose because I like a larger espresso. My complains are that first of all I can’t go finer than 5 and I think I don’t get enough crema in those settings. After it takes ages to grind 20gr. I have to press many times the button, (recently discovered that a long press is for manual stop) 😅. My grinder has a lot of retention. I’ve cleaned all parts several times and see if it was all ok with the grinder and it seems all parts are in good conditions. Long story short, under the lid of the grinder it says that the range for espresso is between 1 and 3 but I can’t grind under 5, and it takes for ever to grind and I can’t get enough crema. Hope you can give me some hints!! Thank you!!!!
You gotta make sure to go back to the middle when you move the micro adjuster! Moving the micro adjustment actually doesnt do anything until you recalibrate it. Fellow doesn't actually explain this at all in their video guide. A gentlemen on RUclips by the name of Craig Stark explains how it works/how you do it. I started doing it this way with my own opus and actually see the changes now 👍
Yup! This is correct, but this is the same as actuating through the range which was done at the very end when setting the blue ring. You can start at the middle of the macro range which effectivley is just getting you to move through the clicks to recalibrate. Thanks!
LOL I love this 😂I am on it haha! I definitely need been storage, new beans, and new shot glasses! Good eyes! Lowkey waiting for someone to call me out haha
best guide ive found on yt. better than fellow's videos as well

Is it 30 seconds from when you press start, or from when the espresso first comes out?
perfect crema !👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Makes the happy fellings!
Are you tasting the shots in between or just going off the numbers?
I tasted also. Definitely don't know how to describe any of that but It did taste best dialed in 😄
Fellow opus vs MiiCoffee DF54??? which one is better?
what portafilter is this???
Hey @12Gavv this is the shades of coffee bottomless portafilter. I really like the shape versus amazon
No boilergate (yet)? I discovered my EVO has the problem
Unfortunately I have boiler-gate just days into using. Havent been able to use the machine.
bro. love that crema. please more crema
Yessirrrrr I will make sure I am dialed in just right...
Nice ☕️👍🏽
thanks
Bro…Starbucks coffee and a Tupperware. You’ve gotta get beans and an espresso cup to match that machine and grinder. Trust me
LOL I love this 😂I am on it haha! I definitely need been storage, new beans, and new shot glasses! Good eyes! Lowkey waiting for someone to call me out haha
I keep changing the beans im using so keep having to repeat this tedious process - thank you kindly though!
