Gen 2 Ode Brew Grinder - Burr, Electric Coffee Bean Grinder with 31 Settings for Drip, French Press & Cold Brew - Small Footprint - Matte Black

Summary - If you grind for filter coffee, french press/cafetiere or pour over this is a great coffee grinder. The 31 grind settings let you get the best grind for your coffee beans. It is relatively quiet and very clean in use. The ioniser technology really works if you keep it clean. It does jam occasionally if you flood the hopper with coffee but this is rare and easy to fix. It doesn't grind fine enough for espresso and Fellow do say this very clearly. If you want great coffee for filter machines, and so on and can afford it this is exactly what you want. Highly recommended. The Good - It is clean in use. Coffee goes in the collection pot and not over the kitchen. It is quick and fairly quiet. The hopper feeds coffee into the burrs reasonably well and if you don't overload it, the machine will be jam free. It's easy to clean and they include a brush to clean the chute and ioniser. There is even a simple guide on the lid of the hopper to help you find the perfect grind. Each step of the settings represents 25 microns (approx 1/1000th of an inch) change in burr gap. The indifferent - The collection cup lid rattles a bit. It doesn't bother me but all reviewers mention it. It can be a bit hard to get all the coffee out of the collection pot and the magnet in the base also can trap ground coffee if you don't shake it. Again, not a real problem but it may bug you. The bad - Er, nothing really. It irritates me that I have to scan a QR code to get the third year of the warranty. I threw this card away and will rely on the 2 year warranty. Fellow don't document everything. They give you a brush but what's that for? Is the answer in the documentation? No. Is it on the website? Er, not that I can see. More seriously this will jam if you aren't careful. This is mostly a user problem. If you put 60g in the hopper in one go it is likely to jam. If you scatter beans all around the grind aperture then it can jam. Changing your habits a bit can totally stop the problem. Apparently this can be calibrated by following a video on Fellow's website. SHouldn't it come calibrated? Conclusion - This is a great coffee grinder. I have used it for filter coffee, grench press and pour over. A little bit of experimentation lets you "dial-in" the right grind for your taste. It is easy to use, clean, quick and relatively quiet. If you clean out the chute with the brush once a week it is easy to maintain too. This is all the grinder I need. It's made a huge difference in the quality of the coffee I drink and allowed me to play with lots of different coffees and get great results. Highly recommended.

Upgrading from the OG Baratza Encore with the upgraded M2 burr. There is no better filter coffee grinder for the price right now. 399 is a steal. I was going to order directly from Fellow with the optional SSP burr. Still, after watching some reviews and considering that I drink a lot of medium roasts, I decided to put the extra money into my espresso grinder. Keep in mind there ARE some quality control issues with Fellow products (seems like the Ode Gen 2 more so than their others). My front facia is a lot looser than it should be, but Fellow support has been great so far (I'm in the US, as is Fellow, so keep that in mind as well). The grinder's functionality is unaffected, and it doesn't create any additional noise while grinding, so it's not a problem for me. The grind itself has been highly consistent. Coffees are easy to dial in, and the little diagram on the lid has been helpful. It's not perfect, but if you're new to grinding fresh coffee, it will help a lot. Key points for me (especially compared to the OG Encore) have been: * Noise level - It's a beefy little grinder. While I wouldn't consider it quiet by any means, the quality and pitch of the grinding is pleasing. Not overly high-pitched or squealing. * Mess, or lack thereof! - The Baratza Encore comes with a plastic, tight-fitting grounds dispenser, but because it's so tight-fitting, it will shoot coffee fines EVERYWHERE when you push it in. The design of the Ode makes it so the mess is negligible. A little brush-up afterwards, and the coffee station is clean. * Retention - Thanks to the knocker, I get hardly any retention whatsoever.

I’ve been using the Fellow Burr Grinder 2 for a while now, and it’s honestly one of those kitchen tools that quietly makes a big difference. First off, it just looks good on the counter—sleek, modern, and compact without being flimsy. But more importantly, the grind consistency is spot on. Whether I’m making pour-over, French press, or even cold brew, the results have been super consistent every time. It’s also quieter than other grinders I’ve tried, which I really appreciate in the early mornings. The dial is easy to use, and I like that it gives you a wide range of settings without feeling overwhelming. Cleanup is simple too—nothing fussy or annoying. If you’re someone who cares about your coffee but doesn’t want a huge, complicated setup, this grinder hits the sweet spot. It’s sleek like all other Fellow products and compliments any caffeine lovers home set up.

En un principio no lograba mejores resultados que con el Comandante C40. En parte ha sido mi cueva de aprendizaje. Este molino requiere de asentar las muelas. Ya después de 1kg de café molido el café empieza a dar mejores resultados. Por otro lado hay que tomar el cuenta que este molino usa muelas planas, a comparación del Comandante que ya muelas cónicas. He encontrado que las muelas planas tienden a darte un café más ácido, eso puede gustarte o no, puedes saborear notas citricas y separadas más fácilmente. Con las cónicas a comparación es más dulce pero no hay mucha separación de notas, es todo junto pero si las encuentras. Para mi gusto, he encontrado que un V60 switch queda genial usando el molino en 4 2/3 con un café de tostado medio, provocando pequeños intervalos con el Switch cerrado mientras vierto el agua, cuando debo de vertir el agua dejo el Switch abierto, todo lo demás es igual a un V60 normal. Esto genera un café dulce y fuerte pero con la presencia de las notas ácidas también y mucho cuerpo. Si usara molienda en el 4 o 4 1/3 con esta receta, tendría un café sobre extraído. Con el V60 tradicional, si uso molienda 4 o 4 1/3 sería un café muy ácido pero sabroso. En la molienda 4 2/3 ya sería un café más tranquilo, no tan dulce pero tampoco tan ácido, quizás un poco aburrido, pero más disfrutable por la mayoría, como me lo sirven en la mayoría de cafeterías de especialidad que conozco. Eso sí, no he logrado un café tan dulce como con el Comandante C40, pero si un café brillante y explosivo en sabores, eso con el V60 Switch. El V60 Mugen también me ha dado excelentes resultados, mejor que un V60 tradicional. Otra opción genial sería la Clever. Es un molino de muelas planas increíble! No es para espresso, y pues tampoco es para una cafetería pública, eso debido a su motor. Pero su motor es ideal para dar los excelentes resultados que da por no ser tosco. Excelente para casa! Puede usarse también para cata, prensa francesa, cold brew, en fin!

Excellent grinder! Très silencieux, lourd, jolie et fais une excellente job. Aucun problème jusqu’à maintenant. Meilleur grinder pour le prix!

This product is very well designed, engineered and produces a good grind with the supplied flat burrs. Its a bit more expensive than the Gen 1 version but regarded in reviews as significantly better. Since I lack an expresso machine the inability to grind fine enough for that is not an issue, but it would be if that is your preferred coffee extraction method. For all other methods and for coarse does to medium/fine, it is very good indeed.

I’m totally blown away from the coffee it produces from this grinder! Never own the Gen 1 before so I’m pretty lucky to have the opportunity to buy Gen 2 and the gen 2 burrs that pre installed in it. First I brewed my first siphon coffee with grind size set at 3.5. Let me tell you, the body of the coffee was light and clear but it doesn’t sacrifice the bold and rich flavor of the coffee. It tasted silky and velvety and sweet! Very low acidity! Btw I love acidity, so probably I would need to light roast my coffee down a notch! Before jumping into flat burrs, conical burrs were my main go-to grinder so I already know what it tastes like. It tastes nothing like the flat burrs. The conical burrs produces a heavy body and bold taste of coffee with a little bit of bitterness and some sweetness to it. Now I know the importance of choosing the right coffee burrs grinder can ultimately determine what the final cup in your cup should taste like. Don’t save money on coffee grinders if every coffee gear in your countertop is the best except for the burr grinder. Then your final cup will be boring and minimal! QC: Mine out of the box has several scuff marks which is ok for me. Months later, I bought a bellows to knock the finer grounds just because the built in knocker clicker is not strong enough to purge the finer ground so getting a bellows to puff out the ground is an absolute necessity for an added on accessory! Update: a month later in the usage; here’s my little rant: the ground that is coming from the opening chute always gets clogged with fine ground. I have to use a brush to dig the ground from it. The knocker no longer helps getting zero retention as I have to either use my finger or a brush to scoop out the remaining bits of ground that was stuck at the opening of the chute. Original retail price was 470 First price discount at 399.50 Second price discount now: 376 I paid 399.50…

A nice compact coffee grinder. Very easy to use, quiet compared to others that I have used. Grinds very quick and accurate. This has to be one of the best that I have owned. Would certainly recommend. Also such a small footprint on the worktop.
