FELLOW Ode Brew Grinder

I use the grinder for a French press. It is so quiet and faster than my old grinder. I highly recommend

This is probably the best investment I made for my coffee gear. It's been such a pleasure to use. My only regret is not waiting just a few short months for the upgrade. But, at least it's easy to upgrade, and with many spare parts also easily available.

If you are looking for a sleek, quiet, consistent grinder, the Ode Grinder is a real winner.

I had to source the SSP MP burrs elsewhere locally, but the Eight Ounce staff was super helpful in making sure that they fit in the Gen 1 Ode grinder I bought from them. They first looked for other units in stock with a later manufacturing date, as Fellow said my unit wouldn't fit the SSP burrs. Their Ode Gen 1 stock on hand were all made around the same time (before the burr chamber was enlarged), so we tried the burr swap in store and, while it was tight, the SSP burrs fit. I've been using the Ode+SSP for drip (Kalita/Origami, Chemex, Clever) for the past month and it has been outstanding (after adjusting the zero point six clicks coarser). A big step up in clarity and sweetness from the Niche Zero I had been using for drip (and the Sette 270 I was using before that, with both burr sets, that was consistently disappointing for drip with way too many fines). The Ode Gen 1 has it's well documented quirks, including static (somewhat manageable with RDT) and bean loading into the grind chamber (pacamara is a complete nightmare). If you are thinking of swapping in other burrs, like SSP, getting the discounted Gen 1 is worth considering - it's been very positive for me so far.

Does a good enough job! Always a bit challenging to get all the grinds out of the grinder but after a few taps to the top of the machine it does a good enough job. Just something to keep in mind!

This is a lovely grinder and I have been very happy with the performance so far. The consistency and grind quality that it offers improved my brews right away. It is messy with the grinds though, especially if you have a white version. It has a beautiufl design and aesthetic and it quite compact but be prepared to clean/brush it frequently if you wish to keep it looking sharp. Knock feature only helps a little bit. Happy enough with the machine that I will likely look to invest in some Gen 2 burrs.

Pros - sleek, functions well
Cons - a little messy with the coffee grounds going everywhere, the lid is not printed well - eight ounce helped me out, but some inherent issues with the lid.
