Don't buy unless you're a tinkerer
on September 25, 2024
Posted by: RJV
Had it for less than a month and already two catastrophic jams. I needed to follow the directions to disassemble the machine down to the burrs, and thoroughly brush out all the grounds. I expected more, certainly higher quality for the price listed. FYI, I mainly use it for french press (coarse grind), with a dark roast.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

The grinder is nice and quiet. It grinds great but the beans get caught in the hopper constantly. Everything is clean and it gets caught. For the price this should not be happening. Bad hopper design. The auto shut off shuts off to soon consistently. Even when it’s grinding it will shut off. I would not recommend for the price. Everything else works flawlessly.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

It's just okay - clogs occasionally

The Ode Gen 2 is really nice to look at on my countertop and seems to do a pretty good job with consistent grinds, but for the money I would expect the hopper/grinding chamber not to clog as often as it does. I'd say one out of every 8-10 grinds (of 30g max to this point) it shuts off early without grinding all of the beans - even when the beans have been shuttled down into the grinding chamber. Again, it's fine and I can still get it to work after additional agitation or tipping, but I'd say the grinder is just okay. It feels like aesthetics were prioritized slightly above functionality, which is maybe more important that grinding to some. I'm sure Gen.2 is better than Gen.1, but If I were to need another grinder right now I'd definitely look for something different.

Love my Ode!

It’s a great grinder at its price point especially if you’re upgrading from something like an Encore, like I did. There are things like the Timemore coming out that might match it but you’re gonna spend at least another $100 dollars on it and probably not get much, if any better cup.
Which brings us to the gen 2 burrs. These things deliver some amazing cups. Sweet, nice bodied, good flavor separation, and balanced. To the point where I decided not to upgrade to the SSP MP burrs. Fellow did something amazing designing these burrs.
If I had any complaints it’s that the grinder is not stepless and the clicks move in 1/3 increments, which is just kind of awkward as most machines move 1/4 increments. But I am used to it now and don’t even really think about it.
So there you have it. Definitely worth investing in over the gen 1 with the better hopper, burrs, and anti static technology. I love it and you probably will too.

I really this grinder except for the retention! I find that the knocking mechanism isn’t completely effective in knocking out all of the grinds.

Very well constructed. Much quieter than my previous burr grinder. Auto shut off is nice. Only complaint is the hopper lid; fits loose/wonky
I would recommend this to a friend!
