Fellow Ode Brew Grinder - Electric Burr Coffee Grinder, 31 Settings for Drip, French Press, Cold Brew, Small Footprint, Matte Black (220v, Type G Plug)

Product Information

As we stated earlier, the Fellow Ode brew grinder was designed for manual brewing methods- and it does an excellent job at what it is intended to do. It is not designed for espresso and so does not grind fine enough for that. It’s pretty expensive. If you’ve got a tight budget for your coffee grinder, it will likely not fit into it. Edit: removed username of moderator. While it still blows my mind that they don't want quality OC in the subreddit, they don't deserve to be harassed. Larger Hopper- The updated grinder has a larger 100g hopper, compared to the original 80g hopper. This is to cater to batch brews. The Fellow Ode is remarkably easy to use. It has an on/off switch and a large stepped dial on the front with 31 settings ranging from fine to coarse. Grinding is as simple as weighing out your beans, selecting your desired grind size on the dial, and pushing the start button.

FLAT BURRS Professional-grade stainless steel flat burrs reduce grind time and heat generation while increasing grind particle consistency.Anti-Static Technology- The Gen 2 has new anti-static technology included in the grind chute to reduce retention and make it a lot cleaner to grind with.

Chan School of Public Health Coffee lovers around the world who reach for their favorite morning brew probably aren’t thinking about its health benefits or risks.

When looking at grinders, the big 3 contenders for me around my price point were the Fellow Ode + SSP Burrs, OE's Apex Hand Brew Grinder, or another Baratza Vario. Ultimately from my research I went with the Ode + Burrs.

Lastly, there are some complaints about mess. This might be the most valid concern out of everything, the grinder does seem to really like throwing chaff around. However its a very minor issue with RDT and I normally drip more coffee everywhere than the grinder produces mess. I've never had a mess-free grinding experience personally. The Fellow Ode is well designed to be durable and compact. However, it has not stood the test of time. But given that Fellow is reputable for producing high-quality products, we expect nothing less of the Fellow Ode Grinder. To solve this, add one or two drops of water to your bean, but it comes at the cost of reduced coffee retention, making you enjoy a well-grinded and nutritious coffee

I spent some time with my SSP burrs and the dry erase marker over the weekend and as far as I can tell, there's no obvious uneven wear occurring when the burrs chirp. One potential difficulty with the marker method and the SSP unimodal burrs is that edges of the burr aren't perfectly flat. That is, the burrs only rub on the raised edges rather than uniformly across a smooth surface. A redesigned hopper that has steeper angles to help feed beans down the chute for speedier grinding. REDUCED GRIND NOISEFrom high-quality materials to ditching the noisy gearbox, Ode was designed with quietness in mind. Bigger Load Bin: The new ground coffee catch bin is now 100g as opposed to 80g on the Gen 1. Better for bigger brew servings.A larger catch cup that can hold 100g of ground coffee, enough for 12 cups of brewed coffee at the golden ratio. This grinder is a tad messier than others in its class. It seems to be prone to static, which leads to bits of chaff floating about or collecting where you don’t want them. For an easy solution, try the Ross Droplet Technique ( 1). Ode knows exactly when the last bean has been ground and automatically shuts itself off. No more awful revving noise when your grinder spins on empty. New Internal Hopper Design: The internal design of the bean hopper is designed to allow a better flow of whole beans into the grinding chamber. You want to make espresso: If your favorite home brewing method is an espresso machine, Moka pot, or the Aeropress, you’re better off with the Fellow Opus grinder. If for some strange reason you don’t like Fellow products, then something like the Rancilio coffee grinder or the Baratza Vario will do nicely.
