Fellow Ode Gen 2
64mm flat burr single-dose grinder for brewed coffee · Reviewed by Katie · amazon.com live, Sept 24 2026
Why it scored a 74
The Fellow Ode Gen 2 is well designed, with 64mm flat burrs, 31 brew settings, a 100 g single-dose bin, a built-in knocker and auto shut-off, so quality scores 84. The rubric still puts it last. Satisfaction is 78, from the lowest average in the group at 3.9 stars across 708 ratings, and reliability is 72. Value is 65: $399.95 buys a grinder Fellow says is not for espresso, while the MiiCoffee DF64 II handles both for 95 cents less. The 2-year warranty (66) is a plus.

Should you buy the Fellow Ode Gen 2?
The Fellow Ode Gen 2 is for a pour-over enthusiast who single-doses and wants a quiet, compact grinder that looks good on the counter. At $399.95 it ranks #10 of 10 in our Coffee & Espresso Grinders category and sits under our 75 buy line. For filter coffee at a quarter of the price, the OXO Brew Conical Burr Grinder is $98.99. For flat burrs that also do espresso, the MiiCoffee DF64 II is $399.00.
Where it earns its score
- Flat burrs for filter. 64mm flat burrs with two-stage geometry aim for even particle size and a clearer cup.
- Low mess. Anti-static tech, a built-in knocker and a magnetic catch cup keep grounds where they belong.
- Walk-away grinding. Press the button and it shuts off on its own when the beans are done.
- Longer coverage. Fellow backs the Gen 2 with a 2-year warranty, versus 1 year on the original Ode.
What to know first
- Value is the lowest factor at 65. $399.95 for a brew-only grinder is hard to justify when the MiiCoffee DF64 II also grinds espresso for $399.00.
- Not for espresso. Fellow says it plainly: the Ode Gen 2 is built for brewed coffee only.
- Weakest ratings here. A 3.9-star average across 708 ratings is the lowest in the category, and Amazon was not clearly named as the seller on our check.
Our verdict
The Fellow Ode Gen 2 scores 74, under our buy line as Buy With Caution and #10 in our Coffee & Espresso Grinders category. Quality (84) and Features (76) are its strengths; Value (65) and Reliability (72) hold it back. Buy the OXO Brew Conical Burr Grinder (81) for filter coffee at $98.99, or the MiiCoffee DF64 II (79) if you want flat burrs.
