Verified Purchase:Yes
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!

It goes up to 11
on May 29, 2025
Posted by: John
I got this recently and it is the best grinder I have ever had. Very consistent grinds, looks great, and seems to be of very high quality construction. The BEST thing about it is that the grind choices go from zero to 11. For those of us who absolutely loved "This is Spinal Tap" this is the most important feature. If you don't get that, please, do yourself and the universe a favor and go watch that movie. Then re-read this review.
In all seriousness, this is a great product, and I have numerous other Fellows products all of which I've been very happy with.

Ode Gen 2

I was a hand / manual grinder for years. And not a good quality grinder either. I'd been fed up for a long time, but couldn't decide on or pull the trigger on an electric grinder especially something that was quality. But I took the plunge after watching numerous video reviews on the Ode Gen 2. So happy I made the purchase. Arrived double boxed in perfect condition. This grinder is super solid, works perfect out of the box. Having never had a decent grinder I was blown away at how good and different the coffee tasted with a great grinder. Thanks Fellow, your hard work has made my mornings much easier and my coffee WAAAAY better.

The SSP burrs make an unpleasant screeching noise that I understand to be "normal". I wish I had not upgraded the burrs since apparently the standard Ode 2 burrs are quieter but otherwise happy.

Extra cost burrs installed backwards.

SSP MP burrs, for which I paid premium fee, were installed backwards (one designed for "fixed" placement on spinning auger.) Per reports on Reddit, this problem is wide-spread. Also, the setting drifts - the burs move from set placement while it operates. Parts are flimsy.

Ode (gen 2) review
on November 28, 2022

Looks great (5 *), Operation poor (3 *). I love that the hopper size is great for 3 cups of pour-over. Operated well for the first few days, then jammed during a grinding (setting between 3 and 4) for a pour-over. I followed the instructions on the Fellow Youtube video, unplugged, shokk, bumped sides, put the dial to 11, ground again (failed), removed the auger/burr and cleaned everything, but I could not figure out the reason why that didn't work. After putting it back together and trying the grind again it jammed... finally I realized that the hole at the bottom from which the ground beans come out, was jammed with a half ground bean and other grounds. Once I cleaned that out, and put back the unit, it worked again and has been since then.
There still are times when I can feel a resistance to the dial when I move it towards 1. I have to bump the sides of the grinder to loosen the grounds in the burrs and then it works smoothly...
The Ode grinder works great, but having it jam on coffee beans that are just fine in my hand grinder, is not good. I do not want to have to open up the grinder every month just for this type of unclogging/cleaning.
