Before you buy
Why, and what it costs you
A sixty-gram batch is more than one DC63 load
Opus 2 takes that dose in one load. DC63 has a published capacity of forty grams, so the beans have to be divided.
Where this comes from
60 g is over 40 g but under Opus 2’s 100 g load rating.

In practice
Differences you will notice
A sixty-gram batch is more than one DC63 load
Opus 2 takes that dose in one load. DC63 has a published capacity of forty grams, so the beans have to be divided.
How we worked this out
60 g is over 40 g but under Opus 2’s 100 g load rating.
Fellow can hold two and a half times as much
This helps when you plan a brew batch. It is not meant as a place to leave beans between sessions the way a storage hopper is.
How we worked this out
100 / 40 = 2.5, the ratio of the published load capacities.
DC63’s bigger burr number does not settle what ends up in the cup
Its sixty-three-millimeter conicals and Fellow’s forty-eight-millimeter set are spec-sheet figures. They do not replace matched taste evidence.
How we worked this out
63 - 48 = 15 mm is the diameter difference, and no matched extraction or tasting test was used.

Decision guide
How to decide
The DC63 has a removable chute and forty-gram single-dose capacity. The Opus 2 has a one-hundred-gram load bin and supplied catches for both espresso and filter.
Batch size is where capacity separates them most clearly
With its bellows, the DC63 holds forty grams. The load bin and standard catch of the Opus 2 each hold one hundred grams. On a larger drip batch, the Fellow can spare you from splitting the beans into multiple loads.
Continuous adjustment and automatic stop come with both
Neither has an edge on those features. The choice turns more on grounds handling, construction and dose size than on access to stepless adjustment.
Each supplied cup is meant for a different transfer
The Opus 2 comes with a thirty-gram espresso catch that works with 54- and 58-millimeter portafilters, plus the larger standard catch. A metal dosing cup and stand come with the DC63, along with a detachable chute for cleaning.

How we countedThe count uses each product's current fit ratings for “A routine of measured single doses”, “Grinding enough for bigger brew batches”, and “Espresso and filter from one grinder”. A need with no documented match is not counted.
How we calculatedA grinder counts here only if it publishes its burr diameter as a number. Diameter matters no more than burr geometry and alignment do. For context, 28 of 39 models publish comparable figures.
