Well-built and compact with a small foot print, but yet powerful burr grinder. I own few coffee grinders, but nothing in this price range. I used to rely on commercial grinders at coffee stores for my weekly brewing needs. I did have the burnt taste when I used the commercial grinder at few coffee stores and I stopped using them and switched to owning few coffee grinders that costed in lower hundreds. I was disappointed by those, as they were very inconsistent in their grind. Ode brew grinder is specifically designed to meet the grind needs for coffee brewers such as Drip coffee makers, French press, etc. I buy expensive coffee beans that I use in my automatic espresso machine and the coffee brewer that I use to make to go coffee for my work/travel. I like the fresh coffee bean taste and flavor when using my coffee brewers to brew large portions and Ode offered consistent grind even with the lowest settings and this is key to encapsulate and retain coffee flavor without burning the ground coffee. Ode now replaced my old coffee grinder and offered several advantages over the ones I used in the past: namely, consisting grind, quite operation, auto off when the hopper is empty, no leftover beans in the hopper, and the little "fellow" tap on the side clears the remaining ground that's in the machine so you don't have to worry with the left over ground spilling all over your counter. Can't comment on the reliability on this machine as I only had it for a week and I had problem with my old low end coffee grinders that didn't last or degraded after a year of daily use. Overall I love this brew grinder, comes at a little bigger price tag, but is well worth for the features it offers, which a coffee connoisseur would well appreciate! It sure is a must have, if you splurge on high end coffee beans (and flavored coffee beans!) and love fresh ground coffee every morning! I wish it also had an option for espresso grind, given its high price tag.

Fellow is a disrupter and their entry into café quality grinds is bar none. Pros: • Very modern and minimalistic • Consistent and precise grinds • All metal and magnetic cup catch is smart • Built in grinds knocker Cons: • Cost, but this is purely “what you pay is what you get” kind of grinder for aficionados I was in the market for a single dose precision grinder and the Fellow Ode fits the ticket. Coffee became one of my hobbies during the pandemic and started to develop a taste for what I was looking for. I was hand grinding my AeroPress with a Knock Aergrind and had wonderful results. While hand grinding 14g of beans doesn’t take long, grinding 56g of beans for a Chemex got daunting. This Fellow Ode makes short work and just as precise as the highly regarded Knock hand grinder. For my Chemex, I weigh out 56g of my favorite beans. Add it to the hopper of the Ode. Dial in my setting, I’m currently thinking 4-4.5 for a courser grind. No need to guess as the lid to the small hopper has suggestions for popular brew methods. Using the built-in knocker, I can get 99.9% of all the 56g of whole beans ground into the cup. Wait for my water to get to temp. Pour in my fresh grounds, add water and bloom, and finish with the volume I was looking for. Perfect coffee every time. Do note that you will need to do a trial and error with your grind settings. My 2.5 setting on my Knock hand grinder is more like a 4 on the Ode. Overall, the Fellow Ode surpasses my expectations and will please the utmost pickiest coffee aficionados. It’s super easy to use and I do recommend this grinder for any coffee lover who demands perfection in their home coffee brew game.

Fellow Ode grinder functional design, quality, finish, grind adjustment features are top of line in the coffee grinders. Very impressed from the packaging to setup. Let’s look all the features with unboxing. Packaging of this product is top notch like a technology gadget packing. Opening the box, just a one heavy piece of grinder, cleaning brush and quick manual/guide in the box. Very quick setup. Design of the grinder is compact and takes very little space on my coffee bar. Have been using a machine which was loud, big and was taking lot of counter space and this one fit well and looks great on counter. Dial movement with dampened click and 11 settings and 31 steps in between for easy grind adjustment with precise particle size of coffee grounds for a tasting coffee. Addition of magnet at base is a brilliant idea for the catch cup to align perfectly every time. Also, the top lid of hopper has a picture to illustrate the dial movement guide. This machine is designed for single dose use and takes about 80 grams which is perfect size for my serving and for anyone who would like to grind different flavor every morning. Just load the coffee bean on the hopper and hit the on/off button. Another feature that is very useful is the auto stop function. It turns off once the last bean has been ground and shuts off automatically which is a bonus where you can concentrate on other tasks when grinding and not to worry about turning off. Noise level is low compared to my old machine and is surprising fast. Grinds are uniform and consistent which makes the coffee taste better compared to my other machine. Only caveat is it doesn’t grind very fine for my espresso but this machine is not meant for espresso grinding. Grind knocker is a great feature and doesn’t come with home use machines. It works well when knocker is used after few seconds and with multiple knocks to get the static. Static on the grinder is high for few days and suggest to add a drop of water when grinding to reduce static a bit. Overall, if you are coffee connoisseur and need a very compact, single dose machine with appealing modern design that doesn’t take much space on your counter then you will not be disappointed. Highly recommend for any perfect home brewing!

Right out of the box the Ode Electric Brew Grinder is good to go, everything is assembled. The grinder is well built and has a good weight to it, the design is very simply and can easily fit onto your counter top for daily use. The hopper on top is easily accessible you have a plastic top that also has a guide to the adjustment dial for a quick and easy reference. The dial adjusts from Fine for Aeropress to Course for Cold Brew. The cup magnetically aligns itself to catch the grinds, the knocker helps to get most of the grinds out. It's nice to measure out the grinds I would like to use, throw it in the hopper and the brew grinder stops automatically once all of the coffee beans have been ground. I prefer the uniform grind I get compared to the simple grinder I had before, and having this on my counter is great for quickly brewing fresh ground coffee each morning saving me from going and picking something up on the way to work out of convenience. Big fan of the Ode Electric Brew Grinder, simple enough my mom brew grounds for a pot of coffee this morning but also allows me to grind me coffee beans for my cold brew for the quick caffeine fix!

I love coffee. I drink it every morning, sometimes twice, and at times when I’m just trying to power through a late night of projects. I’ve own a fairly inexpensive grinder, but hate the mess involved after every use. Over time, this became more and more a pain, so I stopped using it. So, when I got the chance to try out a more premium offering by Fellow, I jumped at the chance to try grinding my own coffee at home again. The box is heavier than most accessories in this category, at about 12 pounds, and I was surprised with just how easy it was to unbox; feeling like an “Apple-esque” style of packaging, with the contents safely stored inside. Inside the box, you’ll find the grinder, a top lid, a catch (the cup that captures the grinded coffee, a soft bristle brush, a quick start guide, and a safety/maintenance manual. There isn’t really any assembly required, outside of removing the protective plastic on the catch and placing the lid on. The included brush is for cleaning out any excess coffee that’s been grinded. The turn dial makes selecting your desired grind simple, with an easy-to-read set of numbers, which can be referenced on the lid. The settings range from a 1 (fine) to 11 (coarse) and the recommended grind on the lid gives you a good starting point. Whether you’re brewing using a traditional coffee maker, AeroPress, or making a cold brew there is a setting for just about anyone. Since I primarily drink regular coffee, I opted to try the lowest setting for a coffee maker, at a “4” setting. The catch cup also sits on a magnetic base, which helps position the catch appropriate and keeps it from shifting during use. As noted in the safety manual, they don’t recommend using the “1” setting until you’ve grinded 10lbs of coffee. This is mostly to protect the internal components from jams or breakage, as the burrs are calibrated at 0 during manufacturing. For more info on this, I’d highly recommend reading the manual. Plugging the grinder in sounds a beep, which is the same beep you’ll hear when you push the power button. It’s not loud, just loud enough to hear while you’re using the grinder. One push of the power button, and the grinder immediately begins grinding for a few seconds, and then stops on its own. During my initial use, I just held the button down until it was done, and then released it to stop. The automatic option simply stops grinding after a few seconds, and never once (in my 5 times of use) has it jammed or stopped grinding before the bin was empty. The catch (the cup) has a simple rubber like lid, which helps to keep the grinding coffee from spilling over all over your counter. The grinder also has a simple to use grinder knocker, which helps release any left-over grinds before you remove the catch. I’d highly recommend using it, as this released quite a bit of grind left when it stopped. The catch has some metal fins, which help with keeping the grinds pouring cleanly into your coffee maker. The included brush can then be used to sweep up any left-over grinds when you remove the catch. So far, after a few days of use, I’m happy to report this is easy to use, easy to clean, and has yet to jam. It’s much quieter than my previous grinder or the commercial sized one we use at the office. Overall, I’d highly recommend this for anyone wanting more control over their grind, and who hate the mess of their cheap grinder (like mine).
