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

Excellent coffee grinder. I upgraded from the Baratza Encore grinder that I've been using for the past few years. I am kicking myself for not doing it sooner... I've only used it to grind beans for my drip coffee machine over the past few weeks. Never has an upgrade ever been so massive, especially considering that the Baratza Encore is a well-respected beginner grinder. Sure it costs more, but boy is it worth it across so many metrics. Biggest improvements that I care about: 1) This is so much faster. I can't believe how much faster. 2) This is so much quieter. I can't believe how much quieter. 3) This makes so much less of a mess. No more static coffee grinds blasted everywhere. Easy clean up with a damp cloth afterwards. 4) This grinder looks so much better and takes up slightly less space. 5) It automatically turns off after running out of beans. Holy cow. Of course it is so fast, that I'm never tempted to walk away and run other errands. I admittedly don't have a fancy palate, so I don't notice that my actual coffee tastes better. But it might. But my point is that the other improvements make this something I can't believe I didn't do a long time ago, and at the very least the coffee is just as good.

UPDATE: Still really liking this grinder. After about 6 weeks I started having serious static problems. Coffee grounds were sticking everywhere! It turns out you need to clean the grinder about every 60 cycles to keep the anti-static tech happy. For me using it for two cups a day that would be every 30 days (or until the static becomes unbearable). This information is not in the manual but Fellow has a short video about it on their youtube channel. It's quick and easy to do. No taking anything apart, just use the provided cleaning brush to clear out any accumulated coffee in the exit chute that may be obstructing the anti-static pins. Works a charm! ORIGINAL REVIEW: I've had the Ode Gen 2 for about a week now, using it for Aeropress cups twice a day. It replaced a $200 Breville Smart Grinder Pro which had a decently long run before failing. The $345 Ode is a step up from the Breville in almost every way. It can't do Espresso like the Breville can, but that wasn't important to me. The Ode is much faster and quieter than the Breville. I haven't specifically timed the Ode, but to grind 17 grams of beans it's certainly less than 10 seconds between pressing the start button and the motor coming to a complete stop after detecting no more beans in the hopper. The Breville's timed dose took 19.4 seconds to grind the same quantity. I really like the single dose grinding of the Ode. It's one of the reasons I decided to upgrade rather than buy another Breville. When a visitor was here, changing beans in the Breville was tedious. No problem with the Ode since it doesn't store any beans. The grind produced by the Ode is extremely consistent. Every Aeropress cup I've made with the Ode has been full and flavorful with no sour notes. Aeropress with the Breville was usually very good as well, but there would be the occasional cup that was slightly off. Haven't had that happen with the Ode yet. Of course, the styling. The Ode is quite a bit smaller than the Breville, fitting under the cabinets with more room to spare. And, as my girlfriend said the first time she saw the Ode on the counter, "It's cute!" What do I not like about the Ode? Despite the anti-static technology in this version, I do get some stray grounds on the countertop. It's just a small amount, a few grounds here and there. Maybe it happens when I forget to tap the knocker on the side? Or maybe when I *don't* forget? Not sure yet. It's not a lot of stray grounds, and much better than some older grinders I used. The Breville on the other hand was a lot cleaner: almost never any stray grounds at all. I also think the catch cup still needs some work. The cup itself is a thing of beauty, but the lid is finnicky, and maybe that's why I sometimes get stray grounds. The channel inside the cup to direct the beans or grounds is kinda ok but seems more trouble than it's worth. To be fair, I also didn't care for the lid on the Breville catch cup. It screwed on tight, but the rubber thingy covering the hole just never fit quite right. The main thing I can't compare is durability since I've only had the Ode for a week. My Breville lasted about 7 years, but reviews are indicating that the latest models are failing much more quickly, which is the main reason I decided to go with a different grinder. Overall, I'm very happy with the Ode for my Aeropress cups.

Love how accurate and well this grinder works. Looks amazing on the counter

Fantastic. Stylish. A little tricky to keep clean but that might be all grinders lol of you don't clean them don't worry. I keep a mini hand held vacuum close by for the job.

I just bought the coffee maker from the same company so I wanted a grinder to match. I already have a really great grinder for my espresso machine so I was looking for one that would do the job for pour overs and for using the coffee maker. I went ahead and splurged on getting this one. It’s obviously a lot higher price than most grinders, but I feel like it has the features and the quality of ones that cost over 1000. This thing has been so easy to use and it’s quiet, which is awesome for the mornings when everyone is sleeping. It’s still a grinder so it makes noise, but it is quieter than my espresso grinder for sure. The only thing that feels a little weird on it is the cheapness of the lid on the hopper and the way the lid fits on the little canister that it comes with. I wish they did a little more engineering on that for this price, but I do like the extra features like the magnetic bottom for The canister and the little lever on the side that allows you to flick it and get all of the coffee out of the shoot. If budget isn’t important to you then I say go ahead and get this thing if you have their coffee maker or need a great wine for pour overs. The other thing is it just looks really cool in our set up since it. It’s all white and matches the coffee maker.
