Fellow Ode Gen 2

A 64mm flat burr grinder built exclusively for filter coffee, not espresso, using Fellow's own in-house Gen 2 Brew Burrs. Single-dose loading with auto-stop and retention consistently measured under half a gram. Fellow also sells the same grinder with optional SSP MP Red Speed burrs pre-installed for about $55 more, a separate configuration with its own price and grind profile.

Buy This If

  • You brew filter/pour-over exclusively and want Fellow's well-regarded in-house burr quality, with an SSP upgrade path available
  • You want the longest warranty in this lineup, 2 years, and retention consistently measured under half a gram

Consider Something Else If

  • You need a grinder that also does espresso, this is filter-only by design
  • You want the largest parts/support ecosystem, Fellow’s is smaller than Baratza’s
