I've been wanting to love this grinder, but the reality is I'm tired of having to clean up coffee grinds every time I use it. The grinder does a abysmal job of getting the grounds into the receiver cup, they get all over the lid, tray and your counter. Then when you remove the receiver, more grounds invariably fall out of the grinder itself and get everywhere. Perhaps most frustrating, when you go to wipe everything down, the button is on the front of the device so you end up tapping it 50% of the time and yep, you guessed it, more grinds everywhere. While this thing grinds coffee well, as a Prodcut design company, I would have thought that Fellow would have done a better job of deigning this product for ease of use.One other note is that the flu is not set at a ... MoreI've been wanting to love this grinder, but the reality is I'm tired of having to clean up coffee grinds every time I use it.

SO while the kettle plug is nice and flush, the grinder one sticks out and regularly rests up against the hot kettle and it’s eventually going to get compromised by the heat.

The Fellow Ode Gen 2 is a great filter grinder. Quiet, consistent, great features like the anti static deioniser to keep the usual mess in check. I bought this because I wanted low fuss, fresh ground coffee in the morning. It sits solid on the bench in a nice matte black finish. It’s so quiet, you can’t even tell it’s running until you put the beans in. Most importantly my wife approves. Magnetic alignment of the cup is cool. The lid for the cup was noted to be a bit of a loose fit on the James Hoffman review, but I haven’t found that at all - it’s a nice fit.

I’ve been using the Fellow Ode for the past moth and have grown quite the fondness for this machine. For those with a conical grinder, you will be amazed how fast this grinds a 15g dose! Less than 5 seconds. Highly recommend a RDT spray to reduce static mess down to almost none. Bonus, if you own a Fellow Opus grinder, you can use the Opus plastic cup. It’s also magnetic and the exact same size without those internal fins. Some reviews mention frustrations with the metal version. 10/10 grinder for filter.
