Fellow Gen 2 Ode Brew Grinder - Burr, Electric Coffee Bean Grinder with 31 Settings for Drip, French Press & Cold Brew - Small Footprint - Matte Black

Summary - If you grind for filter coffee, french press/cafetiere or pour over this is a great coffee grinder. The 31 grind settings let you get the best grind for your coffee beans. It is relatively quiet and very clean in use. The ioniser technology really works if you keep it clean. It does jam occasionally if you flood the hopper with coffee but this is rare and easy to fix. It doesn't grind fine enough for espresso and Fellow do say this very clearly. If you want great coffee for filter machines, and so on and can afford it this is exactly what you want. Highly recommended.The Good - It is clean in use. Coffee goes in the collection pot and not over the kitchen. It is quick and fairly quiet. The hopper feeds coffee into the burrs reasonably well and if you don't overload it, the machine will be jam free. It's easy to clean and they include a brush to clean the chute and ioniser. There is even a simple guide on the lid of the hopper to help you find the perfect grind. Each step of the settings represents 25 microns (approx 1/1000th of an inch) change in burr gap.The indifferent - The collection cup lid rattles a bit. It doesn't bother me but all reviewers mention it. It can be a bit hard to get all the coffee out of the collection pot and the magnet in the base also can trap ground coffee if you don't shake it. Again, not a real problem but it may bug you.The bad - Er, nothing really. It irritates me that I have to scan a QR code to get the third year of the warranty. I threw this card away and will rely on the 2 year warranty. Fellow don't document everything. They give you a brush but what's that for? Is the answer in the documentation? No. Is it on the website? Er, not that I can see.More seriously this will jam if you aren't careful. This is mostly a user problem. If you put 60g in the hopper in one go it is likely to jam. If you scatter beans all around the grind aperture then it can jam. Changing your habits a bit can totally stop the problem. Apparently this can be calibrated by following a video on Fellow's website. SHouldn't it come calibrated?Conclusion - This is a great coffee grinder. I have used it for filter coffee, grench press and pour over. A little bit of experimentation lets you "dial-in" the right grind for your taste. It is easy to use, clean, quick and relatively quiet. If you clean out the chute with the brush once a week it is easy to maintain too. This is all the grinder I need. It's made a huge difference in the quality of the coffee I drink and allowed me to play with lots of different coffees and get great results. Highly recommended.

The first step to good coffee: Buy high-quality whole beans, ideally direct from roasters who roast to order for the freshest product.The second step to good coffee: Use a scale to measure out your coffee and brewing water by weight and follow a set recipe (1:15 to 1:17 for coffee to water with most brewers).The third step to good coffee: Get a good grinder. And for most forms of pour-over or immersion coffee, you can't ask for much better than the Fellow Ode. It's fast, it's quiet for an electric grinder, it's consistent, it's easy to use and maintain, and the grind uniformity is excellent. Before I got my Ode (Gen 2), my coffee was coming out different almost every time I brewed, and I thought something was wrong with my brewing technique. But no, it turns out that it was my grinder that was the problem. Now with the Ode, every cup I brew comes out absolutely delicious.You do have to periodically clean the chute the grounds come out of, otherwise you can expect more static in the grounds and a messier experience. But it's simple enough to do with the cleaning brush provided in the box. I'd also recommend a small spritz of water on your beans before grinding them to reduce static even further. My only other complaint is that the cup that catches the grounds isn't the most convenient to pour out of, with grounds sometimes getting caught in the guide fines, but this is a very minor nitpick and it doesn't detract from how good the rest of the product is.And after two years of regular use, I can say that it is still going as strong as it was the day I bought it. Yes, a good coffee grinder can be a bit expensive, but it is very much a worthwhile investment that will pay dividends in the years to come. If you want to make coffee at home that will put your local cafe to shame, then you need a high-quality grinder, and the Fellow Ode still stands tall as possibly the best you can get in this price range.
