- Reviewed in the United States on February 25, 2025Color: Matte BlackVerified PurchaseThis has completely transformed my coffee routine. From the moment I started using it, I could tell the difference in grind consistency and overall flavor extraction. Unlike other grinders I’ve tried, the Gen 2 Ode produces an impressively uniform grind, making it easy to dial in the perfect cup.
What really stands out is how well it grinds beans fine enough to bring forward a beautifully nuanced flavor in my coffee. The updated burrs create a precise particle size that enhances clarity and depth, allowing me to taste every subtle note in my brew. Whether I’m making a pour-over or a French press, the results are always smooth, balanced, and never over-extracted.
Beyond performance, the sleek design and quiet grinding process make it a joy to use daily. If you’re serious about coffee and want to elevate your brewing experience, the Fellow Gen 2 Ode is absolutely worth it!
- Reviewed in the United States on March 2, 2025Color: Matte BlackVerified PurchaseI've been using this coffee grinder for a few weeks now, and I’m seriously impressed! The grind consistency is spot-on, whether I’m making espresso, French press, or pour-over coffee. It’s easy to use, not too loud, and the sleek design looks great on my counter.
The adjustable settings give me full control over my coffee, and the grinding process is quick and efficient. Cleaning is also a breeze, which is a huge plus. If you’re a coffee lover looking for a reliable grinder, this one is a must-have!
Would definitely recommend!
- Reviewed in the United States on February 25, 2025Color: Matte BlackVerified PurchaseThe Fellow Ode Brew Grinder Gen 2 is a game-changer for coffee enthusiasts. Its sleek matte black design is not just visually appealing but also functional. The grinder features 64mm stainless steel burrs that deliver consistent grind sizes, perfect for various brewing methods. I appreciate the 15 grind settings, allowing for precise adjustments whether I'm brewing pour-over, French press, or cold brew.
The quiet operation is a huge plus, making morning routines much more pleasant. The built-in anti-static technology minimizes mess, a thoughtful touch for those who value cleanliness. While it’s primarily designed for filter coffee, its versatility is commendable. Overall, the Fellow Ode Brew Grinder Gen 2 combines style and performance, enhancing my coffee experience significantly. Highly recommended for anyone serious about their brew!

- Reviewed in the United States on September 17, 2023Color: Matte BlackVerified PurchaseUPDATE: 12Dec23: I've only had this grinder a few months now. My first one turned itself on and off randomly, even in the middle of the night. I had it replaced and imagined all was well. This morning, the grinder jammed. In any other grinder I have owned, clearing a jam isn't a big deal. I watched a video Fellows made on cleaning and unjamming the burrs and thought, that seems simple. WRONG. I removed the 4 larger screws and a small bar that is lodged in the rotating shaft. It's supposed to just pop out now. WRONG. I finally managed to dislodge it and pull it out. Btw. There were coffee grounds everywhere, behind the cover piled and jammed, showing terrible original tolerances and fit. I cleaned everything and reassembled it. Oh, btw, they whimsically show a plastic toy dinosaur lodged in their burrs. Hilarious. I turned it on and it is 3 times louder now! It is totally out of alignment. It doesn't shut itself off with no beans present and when i put beans in to test it, it jammed again immediately, even though I had it set to the coarsest setting. I have already wasted an hour on this piece of junk. Disassembled, cleaned and reassembled it 3 times. Festively, I see metallic flecks in the grind so the burrs are grinding against each other. I wont have to buy glitter for the holidays. Totally unusable and dangerous. I will dive back in but feel certain the only solution will be to pack it up and send it in to Fellows for service. More wasted time and time without a grinder and probably at my own postage expense. Please, consumers, yes it looks hip and pretty, but do yourself a big favor and DO NOT BUY THIS HORRIBLE MACHINE. I will now have either a $350 paper weight or a machine that will never work correctly again, Shame on you Fellows. As a first step, make a proper cleaning video for the consumers you have scalped who only want some morning coffee.
ORIGINAL REVIEW: I spent many hours doing research and watching videos and reviews of grinders in this price range. Many seemed to have similar sentiments regarding this ODE 2. That is, it works relatively well, beautiful design but some cheap feeling details. I appreciated Fellows addressing the universal consensus of weaknesses in the first version, namely the need for improved burrs, a too shallow bin, and static cling making a mess. I agree with the consensus that the bin lid still feels somewhat cheap. It should be more solid feeling and better fitting and a simple magnet to hold it securely could easily remedy that. Same with that rubberized lid over the retaining cup. The cup itself is substantial and snaps in place via a magnet. But that lid on the cup just isnt quality or secure. Not unattractive, but it just doesn't fit securely with any authority. Many mention the fins inside the cup that retain grounds and so requires elaborate tapping and pounding the cup to fully empty it.. I overcame that by simply emptying the cup on the other side avoiding contact with the fins. But still it's just thoughtless design easily fixed at really no cost if they so desire. All those things are disappointing since they could have been easily fixed but not my big eyebrow raise. As soon as I unboxed and plugged the grinder in, any small bump or touch anywhere on the body made it turn on. Weird. But more strange is that even unattended it turns itself on! I woke up in the middle of the night to the sound of my new grinder turning grinding nothing! Other times I put my beans in and it won't turn off but acts like it's trying to purge something stuck in there. I opened up the adjustment coarser, tap it, turn it upside down but nothing is inside. I've since discovered that unplugging it and plugging it back in seems to reset everything and it functions like nothing was ever wrong. That little push button on the front also seems a bit cheap to the touch and honestly would be better positioned on the side. Sitting so low on the front just seems not in line with it's otherwise well thought out design. Oh yes, flicking that latch on the side meant to knock loose any grounds trapped in the burrs also turns the grinder back on. I've only had it about a week and am considering sending it back for an exchange, or just looking at other options. It's a real shame since I really like the grinder, it's compact look, the automatic shutoff, when it functions properly and the fairly consistent grind. As one popular online reviewer expressed, they raised the price $50 and it's a bit iffy if it feels like a machine at the present price point, especially with many new contenders and competitors. From my current experience so far, I can't recommend this grinder,with some of the build quality and it's erratic behavior. As much as I want to love this machine, it's been disappointing. As if to reinforce my frustration, as I'm writing this moment, it just turned itself on, grinding air. I also wrote to Fellow for suggestions but a week later have received no response.

Carlos F.Reviewed in Mexico on February 17, 2023
5.0 out of 5 stars Es excelente para el V60 y aeropress!
Color: Matte BlackVerified PurchaseEn un principio no lograba mejores resultados que con el Comandante C40. En parte ha sido mi cueva de aprendizaje.
Este molino requiere de asentar las muelas. Ya después de 1kg de café molido el café empieza a dar mejores resultados.
Por otro lado hay que tomar el cuenta que este molino usa muelas planas, a comparación del Comandante que ya muelas cónicas. He encontrado que las muelas planas tienden a darte un café más ácido, eso puede gustarte o no, puedes saborear notas citricas y separadas más fácilmente. Con las cónicas a comparación es más dulce pero no hay mucha separación de notas, es todo junto pero si las encuentras.
Para mi gusto, he encontrado que un V60 switch queda genial usando el molino en 4 2/3 con un café de tostado medio, provocando pequeños intervalos con el Switch cerrado mientras vierto el agua, cuando debo de vertir el agua dejo el Switch abierto, todo lo demás es igual a un V60 normal. Esto genera un café dulce y fuerte pero con la presencia de las notas ácidas también y mucho cuerpo. Si usara molienda en el 4 o 4 1/3 con esta receta, tendría un café sobre extraído.
Con el V60 tradicional, si uso molienda 4 o 4 1/3 sería un café muy ácido pero sabroso. En la molienda 4 2/3 ya sería un café más tranquilo, no tan dulce pero tampoco tan ácido, quizás un poco aburrido, pero más disfrutable por la mayoría, como me lo sirven en la mayoría de cafeterías de especialidad que conozco.
Eso sí, no he logrado un café tan dulce como con el Comandante C40, pero si un café brillante y explosivo en sabores, eso con el V60 Switch. El V60 Mugen también me ha dado excelentes resultados, mejor que un V60 tradicional. Otra opción genial sería la Clever.
Es un molino de muelas planas increíble! No es para espresso, y pues tampoco es para una cafetería pública, eso debido a su motor. Pero su motor es ideal para dar los excelentes resultados que da por no ser tosco. Excelente para casa!
Puede usarse también para cata, prensa francesa, cold brew, en fin!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for cafetière and pour-over brewing
Color: Matte BlackVerified PurchaseThis product is very well designed, engineered and produces a good grind with the supplied flat burrs. Its a bit more expensive than the Gen 1 version but regarded in reviews as significantly better. Since I lack an expresso machine the inability to grind fine enough for that is not an issue, but it would be if that is your preferred coffee extraction method. For all other methods and for coarse does to medium/fine, it is very good indeed.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great grinder for non-espresso methods
Color: Matte BlackVerified PurchaseReally great design. Super fast, and very quiet grinding. Ionizer really helps with static. Great option for anyone looking for a brew method grinder

5.0 out of 5 stars Neat coffee grinder
Color: Matte BlackVerified PurchaseA nice compact coffee grinder. Very easy to use, quiet compared to others that I have used. Grinds very quick and accurate. This has to be one of the best that I have owned. Would certainly recommend. Also such a small footprint on the worktop.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great grinder, very even grind
Color: Matte BlackVerified PurchaseExcellent grinder and unusual stylish design. If using dark roast coffee regularly do run cleaning cycle fairly regularly - follow the advice and instructions.
One niggle. The model and serial number are on the bottom on a paper sticker which sits almost right on the counter. Of course right after getting it and before I’d registered it , we had a small flood on the counter which soaked the label making it partially illegible. So. I wasn’t able to register it. Customer service was not helpful you’d think that a partial serial number and purchase info from Amazon they could pin it down. So - REGISTER BEFORE YOU PUT IT INTO USE!
