Ode Gen 2 64mm Flat Burr Coffee Grinder, Matte Black

The Fellow Ode Gen 2 is a grinder built for filter coffee, and buyers in the specialty coffee scene treat it as the right tool for that specific job. We found around 790 ratings at 4.2 stars, which for a $400 grinder is a smaller sample than you would expect, reflecting its niche appeal. The 64mm flat burr set produces a consistent, particle-uniform grind that buyers say translates directly into cleaner, sweeter pour-overs and cold brew. The updated burrs in Gen 2 address the retention complaints that followed the original. Two recurring criticisms: it is not designed for espresso, and buyers who try to push it that direction are generally unhappy. The price fluctuates but rarely drops more than $60 below retail. For anyone who cares about filter grind quality and drinks mostly black coffee, this is a serious machine. For everyone else, it is too purpose-built to justify the cost.
