I wanted a quiet grinder, one that's simple to use, solidly built with less plastic, and without retention or other problems. After obsessively researching several grinders, it was the Ode Gen 2 that ticked all the boxes. I've been using it now for several weeks, and it's performed flawlessly. It's not for espresso, but for brewed coffee it is, I think, the best grinder out there!
Bright, clear notes have made my coffee POP! After a brief break in period, my brews with the brew burrs have been a sensory experience. Flavor bombs out of each coffee that I have brewed with this grinder. I am very pleased.
This machine showed me just how much I'd taken grinding for granted. The consistency and accuracy has opened up so much in taste, potential brew methods, and even the coffee I choose. A big bonus is that I don't get the static mess I endured with Gen 1. The larger hopper is welcomed and the design remains on point. I'm happily entrenched in the Fellow coffee ecosystem.
