excellent grinding
on January 29, 2025
Posted by: Eric
got this about a week ago. Grinding is great, fast, and the non static feature on the cup also works wonders to keep the grinder from making a mess.
I don't give it 5 starts because it has a lot of coffee retention. I've put 18 g of coffee and gotten 17 g afterwards.

I would recommend this to a friend!

It works, but it's too messy. I regret the purchase.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Ode Gen 2
on April 21, 2023

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

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
Posted by: atin k.

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.

Dissapointing
on November 23, 2022
Posted by: Meharban S.

The grinder hasn't worked properly from day one. Grind quality is abysmal and it makes a weird noise and starts to shake when I turn it on. The coffee it produces is bitter and my v60 clogs if I even try to get a somewhat fine grind. My 75 dollar normcore hand grinder has less fines than this one and never clogged the v60 even with very fine grinds. Customer support basically told me to go buy a bunch of tools and sent me a youtube video and told me to fix it myself. Never buying from this company again. Very skeptical of all the positive reviews.

Great Grinder!

I never owned the gen 1 but I researched it before I purchased the Gen2 and I can say that it has none of the problems that the Gen1 may have had. I've been using it for a couple of weeks now, and countertop is totally clean after grinding, and the hopper is empty . It has two small fins on the inside of the cup witch I do not use. All in all, this grinder is efficient, exudes quality and style, and feels like it will last forever. Overall I love it!
