FellowOde Gen 2.

Our pour-over guide calls for a medium grind, about the texture of granulated sugar, on the way to a 1:16-1:17 cup. The Ode Gen 2’s own product page builds toward that same target from the hardware side: 64mm stainless steel flat burrs on an 11 setting, 31 step dial, sold as a filter-only grinder for AeroPress, pour-over, electric coffee makers, French press, and cold brew, with espresso named out explicitly. Seattle Coffee Gear’s product guide draws the line inside that dial: its settings breakdown places V60, grouped with Chemex, at settings 10 to 20, sitting well clear of AeroPress’s 1 to 8 fine end and cold brew’s 25 to 31 coarse end.

Capacity lines up with a single cup, too. Fellow’s own gear guide states the 100g load bin “can hold 100g of beans, enough for 12 cups of brewed coffee at the golden ratio of 1:16,” a ratio close enough to our guide’s own 1:16-1:17 band that the two numbers are describing the same brew. Our guide’s single-cup dose, 15g into 250g of water, uses a fraction of that hopper. The single-dose workflow still leaves weighing to a separate scale, exactly what our guide’s gear list already calls for, and Fellow’s anti-static claim, cutting retention from about 1g down to as low as 0.1g, matters here because that retained coffee is the difference between what you weighed out and what actually lands in the cup.

Fellow’s own numbers do not agree with every retailer’s. Seattle Coffee Gear lists a 1-year manufacturer warranty against Fellow’s own stated 2-year standard warranty; this dossier uses Fellow’s figure since it is the manufacturer’s own claim. Neither source publishes a decibel rating, so despite Fellow’s own “engineered to reduce grind noise” language, no noise number appears anywhere on this page.

FAQ

What grind setting should I use for V60 pour-over on the Ode Gen 2?

Seattle Coffee Gear’s product guide’s settings breakdown table lists “V60 and Chemex (settings 10-20),” on a dial where setting 1 is finest and setting 31 is coarsest. That sits inside the medium range our pour-over guide calls for, between the fine settings recommended for AeroPress and the coarse settings recommended for cold brew and French press.

Can the Ode Gen 2 grind fine enough for espresso?

No. Fellow’s own compare-grinders page marks the Ode Gen 2 without espresso capability, and its product page lists intended methods as AeroPress, pour over, electric coffee makers, French press, and cold brew, with espresso excluded. Fellow’s own grind-range figure for the Gen 2 Brew Burrs, as fine as 250 microns, stops well short of the sub-200 micron range espresso needs.

How much coffee does the 100g hopper hold relative to a single pour-over cup?

Our pour-over guide doses 15g of coffee for a one-cup, 250g brew, a small fraction of the Ode Gen 2’s 100g single-dose load bin. Fellow’s own gear guide frames that same 100g capacity as good for approximately 12 cups of brewed coffee at a 1:16 ratio, in the same range as our guide’s own 1:16-1:17.

Does the Ode Gen 2 include a built-in scale?

No. Seattle Coffee Gear’s product guide describes a single-dose workflow: “Weigh your coffee dose on a scale before loading. Pour beans directly into the load bin.” That means a separate digital scale is still required, which is exactly what our pour-over guide’s gear list already calls for.

How much ground coffee gets left behind in the grinder between doses?

Fellow’s own gear guide states its anti-static technology reduces grounds retention “from ~1g to as low as 0.1g.” Against a 15g pour-over dose, even the higher end of that range is a small share of the total, and the lower end keeps the weighed dose close to what ends up in the filter.
