Makes a mess.

Ground coffee ends up everywhere. You pull the magnetic catch cup out and grounds still fall out of the burr section.

Does not work.

Consistently jams on every use. Beans do not feed properly. Capacity is extremely small and only allows for small batches of cold brew at a time.
This is the worst thing I've ever spend $ on. I was so excited to get this flat burr grinder to replace our trusty bodum conical burr grinder but it is a literal piece of junk. It gets clogged way too often, almost every day. Tapping the sides does nothing to dislodge the beans so we have to remove the burrs constantly and clean it out which is not a very fun process and certainly isn't 'upping our coffee game'. Don't buy this piece of junk! Glad I didn't purchase anything else from this company.

Not worth the price. Poor functionality, jams regularly

Do not purchase if you want a functional and quality coffee grinder. For the amount of money this thing was it does not function like a quality piece of machinery. Looks great but the number one complaint is that it is poorly engineered so it jams regularly and requires regular disassembly to fix. Additionally it makes giant mess on your countertop because the grinds canister opening is too small and the output scatters grinds instead of precisely dropping them into the canister. I've purchased a handheld vacuum just to deal with the constant mess.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

its location has not been determined, it is meant as a replacement as it was the only option available. I would have preferred a refund as the Opus fell apart, the burr cradle blew out of the interior structure, but could not we awarded a refund. As the replacement opus was not an option for me, upgrading was the only solution. The package was picked up Jan 16, as of today Feb 2, there is no information as to the whereabouts of the package, as tracking has remained unchanged since January 22, 2024.
This is my first burr grinder and overall it’s been making great Pour Over/French Press coffee for me.
Compared to the old and very cheap blade grinder (yuck) that I had borrowed from someone before I knew how bad they were… the particle size uniformity and ease of use of this machine is vastly superior.
There is a small amount of retention but I did get a water spritzer and will say that I can notice the small difference when I spray my beans before vs not but sometimes I’m lazy and the difference isn’t always worth it.
The build quality and aesthetics are great in my opinion. Even the knocker feels solid, even though it’s a bit loud to use. The grinding itself is relatively quiet though so there’s a bit of tension there. Like what’s the point of a quiet grinder when knocking it is so loud?
Overall, I am very satisfied after the first few weeks of ownership.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Meh

About a month into ownership and this thing has clogged three times already. Once I figured out the issue after the initial clog, I have no problem clearing it and moving on (until it clogs again). I have wasted soooo much Kona coffee with this thing! While it is a fantastic product when it’s hot clogged, I expect more for something at this price point.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
