The Gen 2 version of the Ode grinder is an excellent grinder with only a couple of nits to detract from "perfect." Its compact size, build quality, user interface, ease of cleaning, and grind quality are all topnotch. I also really appreciate its auto-off feature when finished grinding. If I were to deduct any points it would be for the catch cup. The cup is metal, which is nice, but there are two "fins" inside that are supposed to help with dispensing the grinds, but tend to catch grounds behind them and make washing and drying the cup less than straightforward. As mentioned, everything about this grinder's build quality is excellent, except for the catch cup's lid. Its made of plastic and fits very loosely on the cup. The lid simply does not give the same feeling of precision and quality as the rest of the grinder. Other than that lid, the only thing I wish this grinder had was some sort of cord storage. Overall though, the best grinder I've found for non-expresso coffee.
I've been using the grinder daily for over a week and can't seem to get it to clear the hopper without intervention. Has not enhanced my coffee brewing experience.

Hi there, We're sorry to hear about your experience with your Ode Grinder! We suggest wiping down the inside of your load bin. In our experience, customers who are using dark roast or oilier bean types can experience build up over time in the load bin. Wiping it down normally helps the beans from getting stuck and not making it into the Ode. Should you require further assistance, please feel free to reach out to us at hello@fellowproducts.com — our Customer Experience Team is always ready to help!
This is the best coffee grinder that I have ever used. The sound level is very low and grind is very consistent. Ease of use and cleanup is outstanding. Highly recommended.
