Read our full Fellow Ode Gen 2 review →
What we like
- Exceptionally low retention out of the box — genuinely close to zero grounds left behind
- 64 mm flat burrs deliver even particle distribution across the filter range
- Built-in timer and clean industrial design that doesn't look like lab equipment
- Gen 2's declumping improvements measurably reduce static and clinging fines
What we don't
- Stock burr set is tuned for filter coffee — espresso needs a separate burr purchase
- Stepped adjustment, not stepless, so ultra-fine espresso dialing takes more trial and error
- Price climbs fast once you add the espresso burr kit most espresso buyers will want
