The upgraded Encore handles espresso to French press: 40mm conical burrs with user-serviceable design and excellent Baratza support.
64mm flat burrs with near-zero retention at half the price of established competitors. The home espresso community's darling.
Italian espresso grinding with 50mm flat burrs and stepless adjustment. Low retention, quiet operation, beautiful build.
Fellow discontinued the original Opus on Amazon in favor of the redesigned Opus 2: 48 settings (up from 41), a 100g load bin with dedicated espresso/filter catch cups, and an integrated ionizer that further cuts static and retention. It's new enough that long-term reliability data is still thin, and some colorways ship on backorder from Fellow directly, so we link the retailer carrying current stock.
1Zpresso discontinued the JX-Pro line entirely in 2026 in favor of the J-Ultra, its new manual flagship: titanium-coated 48mm burrs and an external ring with 8-micron clicks (versus the JX-Pro's 12.5-micron top dial) for finer espresso dial-in by hand. No confirmable Amazon listing exists yet, so we link 1Zpresso's own store.

Burr grinders are essential for quality coffee. Conical burrs are quieter, flat burrs offer more consistency. Consider grind settings, retention, and whether you need espresso-fine capability.
