The Fellow Ode Gen 2 is a coffee grinder that represents the latest developments in home coffee brewing, offering a number of technical improvements and features designed to meet the needs of the most demanding coffee consumers.

This coffee grinder is designed to optimise the user experience through a combination of high-quality grinding, ease of use, and an aesthetically pleasing appearance. It builds on the success of the original Ode coffee grinder, but introduces a number of improvements that take coffee preparation to the next level.

NOTE! Please note that the Fellow Ode Gen 2 is not suitable for espresso grinding, but is specialised for other brewing methods (which is why it has been possible to create a grinder that many consider to be the best for pour-over brewing!

Technical Features and Improvements Compared to Ode Gen 1

1. Improved Grinding Mechanism: Fellow Ode Gen 2 uses an upgraded grinding mechanism designed to produce a more consistent grind across the entire spectrum from fine to coarse. This is crucial for extracting maximum flavour from the coffee beans, regardless of the brewing method.

2. Manual Control Panel: The control panel is a key feature that allows the user to easily select the grind size with high precision. Users can fine-tune the settings based on the type of coffee they want to brew, from espresso to French press, with ease and precision.

3. Quiet Operation: By using a motor and grinding mechanism that are optimised for quiet operation, the Ode Gen 2 reduces disturbances in the home. This allows users to grind coffee early in the morning or late at night without disturbing the peace of the household.

4. Automatic Shutdown: A welcome addition is the automatic shutdown feature, which activates when grinding is complete. This not only ensures safety but also keeps energy consumption to a minimum.

5. Design and Materials: With a robust construction and stylish design, the Fellow Ode Gen 2 fits into almost any kitchen environment. It is built to last, with high-quality materials that withstand daily wear and tear.

Differences in Grind Size for Different Brewing Methods
To achieve the perfect cup of coffee, it is important to adjust the grind size to the brewing method. This is because different brewing processes extract flavours from the coffee in different ways, and the grind size can significantly affect the extraction.

Pour-over: Pour-over brewing methods, such as V60, require a medium to medium-fine grind. This is because the water lingers in the coffee longer than for espresso, but not as long as for French press. A medium grind balances the extraction, resulting in a clean and distinct flavour profile.

French press:
A coarse grind is recommended for French press. In this method, the coffee is in contact with the water for a longer period of time, and a coarse grind reduces the risk of over-extraction, which can lead to a bitter taste.

Aeropress:
Aeropress is flexible and can work well with different grind sizes, but a medium to fine grind is often ideal. This is because Aeropress allows for varied brewing times and pressures, giving the user the opportunity to experiment with different grind sizes to find the perfect balance.

Espresso: For espresso (which the Fellow Ode Gen 2 is not suitable for), a very fine grind is required because the water is forced through the coffee under high pressure over a short period of time. A fine grind increases the surface area of the coffee in contact with the water, allowing for a quick and efficient extraction of flavours.
