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?

That’s a tough one. I would say if you want to just do filter coffee, go with the Eureka. The Opus claims to do it all but typically, a jack of all trades is a master of none. However, if you do anticipate getting into espresso, it may be worth saving up for the Opus.

I'm not planning on doing espresso for now, but I like the idea of having that open possibility. Thanks for the input 🙂
