Fellow Moulin à café Ode Gen 2 Coffee Grinder, Aluminum, Matte Black

This 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.

A 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.

Fantastic investment. The flavours that come through in the coffee with this grinder are just incredible. Has definitely moved my coffee brewing to the next level! Simple to use, very quiet and looks utterly fantastic on the counter. Absolutely love it!!!

En 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!

I did a lot of research on grinders before splurging on this one. The ground coffee is very even and consistent. The coffee's taste improved as a result. Produces less static than my previous grinder but there is still some. Comes with a little brush to clean out the chute which is a nice little addition to the product. The large dial on the front leaves no doubt on the setting and looks good. The magnet that hold the receptacle underneath is still very satisfying to use as it pulls the receptacle into exactly the right position. Also very quiet as coffee grinders go.

Summary - If you grind for filter coffee, french press/cafetiere or pour over this is a great coffee grinder. The 31 grind settings let you get the best grind for your coffee beans. It is relatively quiet and very clean in use. The ioniser technology really works if you keep it clean. It does jam occasionally if you flood the hopper with coffee but this is rare and easy to fix. It doesn't grind fine enough for espresso and Fellow do say this very clearly. If you want great coffee for filter machines, and so on and can afford it this is exactly what you want. Highly recommended. The Good - It is clean in use. Coffee goes in the collection pot and not over the kitchen. It is quick and fairly quiet. The hopper feeds coffee into the burrs reasonably well and if you don't overload it, the machine will be jam free. It's easy to clean and they include a brush to clean the chute and ioniser. There is even a simple guide on the lid of the hopper to help you find the perfect grind. Each step of the settings represents 25 microns (approx 1/1000th of an inch) change in burr gap. The indifferent - The collection cup lid rattles a bit. It doesn't bother me but all reviewers mention it. It can be a bit hard to get all the coffee out of the collection pot and the magnet in the base also can trap ground coffee if you don't shake it. Again, not a real problem but it may bug you. The bad - Er, nothing really. It irritates me that I have to scan a QR code to get the third year of the warranty. I threw this card away and will rely on the 2 year warranty. Fellow don't document everything. They give you a brush but what's that for? Is the answer in the documentation? No. Is it on the website? Er, not that I can see. More seriously this will jam if you aren't careful. This is mostly a user problem. If you put 60g in the hopper in one go it is likely to jam. If you scatter beans all around the grind aperture then it can jam. Changing your habits a bit can totally stop the problem. Apparently this can be calibrated by following a video on Fellow's website. SHouldn't it come calibrated? Conclusion - This is a great coffee grinder. I have used it for filter coffee, grench press and pour over. A little bit of experimentation lets you "dial-in" the right grind for your taste. It is easy to use, clean, quick and relatively quiet. If you clean out the chute with the brush once a week it is easy to maintain too. This is all the grinder I need. It's made a huge difference in the quality of the coffee I drink and allowed me to play with lots of different coffees and get great results. Highly recommended.

I need to grind fresh coffee daily, and I needed a machine that was quiet, efficient and didn't leave a mess. I have waited a month before reviewing this product. I love the fact that there is no static. The coffee grinds 6 heaped spoons in about 20 secs. Quiet and perfect. It's not a cheap machine, but I am really happy I spent the money. Love the magnetic part for the container. The only minor thing, a few times, the coffee has got stuck in the hopper. But a light jiggle and it's fine.

I decided after 20 years ro upgrade my $25 Krups coffee mill and was taken in by the slick marketing hype of Fellow. The Ode 2 is a lovely piece of equipment and pretty quiet. It does a nice job grinding coffee. However, imagine my surprise when after a week it started making weird noises and then froze up and beeped a couple of times. I took it apart per the instructions for cleaning the burr grinders (which should not need to be done more than every month or so). The hole through which the ground coffee drops out into the container was completely jammed up with ground coffee. So I cleaned it all thoroughly and put it back together and was able to grind coffee for my breakfast cup. Sure enough, the following week it starts making the bad noises again and freezes up. Same drill, take it apart and clean it. I shot off a note to Fellow customer service thinking there might be something wrong with my machine. To my surprise, the answer was just a series of maintenance suggestions -- clean it more often! It is clear to me that it is simply badly designed and the clogging is a "feature" not a "bug" as the tech guys say. I am trying to get Fellow to give me my money back and so far have gotten nowhere. Save yourself a lifetime of cleaning your extremely expensive coffee grinder every few days and buy something else. Update: After a lot of back and forth, Fellow had me send it bacxk to them and sent me a new one. Guess what? It also jammed after a few uses and has exactly the same problems. This rather clearly demonstrates that the Ode 2 has a fundamental design defect. The chute that the ground coffee drops through is either too small, shaped incorrectly, or in the wrong place. Now I am caught in a death loop between Fellow and Amazon trying to get my money back. Fellow sent me a return label and I sent the second unit back also. But they won't give me a refund, claiming it has to come from Amazon. Of course Amazon says it is a third party seller and the refund has to come from Fellow. My next step is to file a merchant dispute with my cedit card issuer. I suspect that will be effective in getting my money back especially since I don't even have the grinder any more. DO NOT BUY AN ODE 2!!!!!!
