I had heard about the Ode Fellow from many coffee enthusiast. I wasn't sure what the whole rave was about, until I got my hands on one. I must give this product 10/10. Its design it's sleek, simple and best at what it does; grind coffee to make a delicious cup of coffee.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Bought one for the office. Despite having an EG-1 w/ ULF burrs at home, I look forward to a cup or three from the Ode at work.
Coffee is reliably sweet and smooth; nice rounded finish; not the most flavor clarity but discernible and pleasant acidity. Very forgiving. Also, sweet. Did I mention sweet? We brew the gamut of roast levels and processing methods. It's been consistently great. Grind times are hilariously fast.
Downsides: hopper lid is warped and doesnt fit. Catch cup lid is equally ill-fitting. Very incongruent with an otherwise solidly built/robust body.
Some minor workflow issues: Wish it shipped with a chopstick, because you occasionally have to encourage beans that resist feeding by the auger. And while the auto-shutoff is a great idea, it is often premature. Would be nice to have a mode to disable the auto-shutoff.
Adjustment detentes are three per number. Weird.
Definitely needs seasoning. Really disliked the coffee out of the box; took about 2-3kg before the sweetness and balance punched through.
But in general these are minor nits. It's easy to love this grinder. Really great, approachable coffee. And sweet.
Good Job, Fellow.

This filter coffee grinder is built solid. And, no static electricity! This is what sold me. I love it.

Use of the Gen 2 has been a delight, bringing out new and enjoyable depth of coffees I’d thought familiar and understood. As a primarily pour over drinker this machine is perfect for the job and is built in such a way that it’s sturdy and small enough to be tucked away into a non-intrusive space. Remarkably happy with the decision to purchase it and take the next step in coffee experience.

My coffee enthusiast guy LOVES it. It was next in the coffee gear line up - and it took things to the next level. Works great with an AeroPress, looks nice, has a small footprint, great materials, and very quite.

High quality grinder, easy to use, very clean without all the coffee ground mess that my old Capresso grinder had.

New to burr grinders, but after lots of research and getting over the exorbitant cost of this thing, I have to say it's living up to the hype. Coming from a Krups spice grinder, this is much quieter, much more consistent, much easier to replicate brewing, and deviating from it in search of a better brew. Shifting from buying ground decent quality coffee to beans has been worth it in terms of quality and taste, and this grinder is key. It's jammed once, but is easy to clear (a few little thumps freed the recalcitrant bean). I've only had it about a month, but it's been a good month. The other thing that's impressive is that when I weigh out 45 grams of beans, I end up with 45 grams of ground coffee: there's no retention in the grinder, and this is with oily dark roast beans. Pretty, pretty, pretty cool.

I am switching from a Baratza Encore - and in comparison, the Ode2 is much faster and much quieter! The grind quality is at least as good (I didn’t measure, just observation). Great for drip and pourover. The Ode2 is cleaner as well - fewer rogue grinds. I don’t use the little plastic ring for the grind cup, it doesn’t fit well and seems 100% unnecessary. I wish it was less expensive (loss of one star), I won’t admit to my friends how much I paid for it!
