Large improvement on grind size
on December 27, 2022
Posted by: James B.
from US
Didn't know how important grind consistency was to a cup of coffee. The extraction is able to be dialed in exactly where you want it. So much easier than the small bean blenders and less clean up for sure. No issues with the loading hopper and the cup is easy to pour out.
If I had to mark something as a negative is the front faceplate has a slight rattle when we walk by and the counter vibrates slightly. Might try and put a sticker behind it in the right spot.
Overall, wonderful and quick to use. Better prep and cleanup time and an improved coffee or cold brew.

Excellent Grinder with no mess!
on December 26, 2022
Posted by: David R.

I purchased the Ode Gen 2 after watching several reviews praising its no-mess anti-static system, as well as improved flat burrs. The Ode Gen 2 produces a marvelously clean cup for the price range, and the ionizing anti-static system keeps retention low and the grounds free of cling. No need for RDT here! My one and only gripe with the Ode would be the grind ranges printed on the reverse side of the hopper cover. I'm currently brewing a Medium-Light roast, (61/49 Colortrack), and am way past the "Pour-Over" range. To get a 3:30 brew without underextraction notes, I'm grinding on number 2. The Pour-Over range suggests 4 as the lowest setting. This is a bit misleading and wasteful, as I took the suggestion at its word and had to work my way down. Lighter roasts need a significantly finer grind than is suggested. Fellow, if I may add a request for future manufacturing runs of the Ode Gen 2 and Hopper Cover, or even a few lines to the manual. Add a disclaimer for the roast level of the coffee that the range is suggested for. "*Grind ranges for medium roasted coffees" Then add a quick "For lighter roasted coffees, you may need to grind up to 2 whole numbers finer than suggested. And for darker roasted coffees, up to 2 numbers coarser". I believe this will help users get started faster and have less hassle and unpleasant brews due to under/over extraction from following the guideline.

Do it

I have been eyeing up the grinder for a while now, so when the gen2 came out and everyone said they fixed the little quirks, I got excited. Bought as a bundle with the studio pro kettle and went with the upgraded burrs so there would be no regrets. While I have always been happy with my commandante hand grinder, this combined with the programmable kettle has me blooming fresh grounds within 30 seconds of rolling out of bed. What an amazing upgrade to my morning routine.

I got this as a gift for my husband. He loves it and tells me every day that he is able to make a better cup of coffee! It doesn’t leave a mess like our old electric blade grinder. Bonus it is quieter too!

A big step up from the Baratza Encore. Don't get me wrong... the Enore was great. This is just next level.

The “Fellow Ode - Gen II, Your Next Grinder!
on December 24, 2022
Posted by: Earl N.
from US
Okay, so I moved from a “Sboly” burr grinder to the Fellow Ode “Gen II”, and DOUBLE WOW, what a leap!
The grind quality is everything I read about in a great many reviews. The consistency of the grind particles is amazing, the “Anti Static” technology works perfectly, and the “Fines” ~ couldn’t be found!
The improvements to the “Bean Hopper” feed angle absolutely prevents any finger bean nudging, and I appreciate the auto stop feature as well. These combined innovations translate into having a “Cafe’ Quality Grinder” right in my own kitchen! The best improvement, however, is the elevated coffee experience I receive from our Greenville, SC small batch specialty coffee roasters coffee. My own poor overs now reveal the distinct & pronounced favors I previously was unable to achieve!
And, Yes it looks every bit a cafe’ grinder star!!
Well done to all the pros at Fellow~ Well done indeed!

Fellow G2 - A Solid Winner
on December 23, 2022
Posted by: David D.
from US
The Fellow G2 grinder delivers on its early reviews. It’s quiet, auto-stops (!), has an easy to work dial for grind settings, and is compact on the counter. Best of all, the ground coffee brews an excellent cup.
The precision design gives you a simple grinder, but, as with any grinder, you need to pay attention especially making sure the grind cup is in place, eg. Finally, the YouTube instructional videos are well-done.

I thought my 20 year
on December 23, 2022
Posted by: Anne G.

I thought my 20 year old burr grinder was fine enough, but I treated myself to the Ode Gen 2 and have not looked back. No more grounds all over the counter, I love that it auto shuts-off after grinding my single dose, I love that the hopper holds just what I need, great consistency in grind size, looks great and feels super solid. It was made for those who value a quality fresh cup every time. No regrets!
