Fellow Ode Brew Grinder Sweet Burrs
Fellow Ode Gen 2 Brew Burrs
Fellow Ode Gen 2 Brew Burrs are 64mm stainless steel flat burrs designed for high-clarity coffee brewing, offering a significantly finer grind range than the original Gen 1 burrs. Developed by Fellow’s VP of R&D and Certified Q Grader Nick Terzulli, they are engineered to enhance sweetness and flavor separation for all manual brewing methods except espresso.
Key Features
Precision Grind Range: These burrs can grind as fine as 250–300 microns, a major improvement over the 550-micron limit of the standard Gen 1 burrs.
Two-Stage Geometry: The unique cutting profile ensures a highly uniform particle distribution, which helps in achieving higher extraction yields, especially with light roast coffees.
Flavor Profile: Reviewers from Whole Latte Love and Fellow describe the output as sweet, balanced, and complex, with improved clarity compared to the original set.
Compatibility: These 64mm burrs are compatible with both the Fellow Ode Gen 1 and Gen 2 grinder bodies, making them a popular standalone upgrade for Gen 1 owners.
Technical Specifications
The specifications for the burr set are:
Burr Type: 64mm Stainless Steel Flat Burrs.
Material: Uncoated high-quality stainless steel.
Grind Range: 200µ – 1100µ (Microns).
Supported Methods: Pour-over, French Press, AeroPress, Cold Brew, and Drip Coffee.
Note: They are explicitly not intended for espresso as the motor and adjustment steps are not optimized for those finer pressures.
Performance and Expert Reviews
Flavor Clarity: A tester for Serious Eats noted that after four months of testing, the Gen 2 burrs produced noticeably more pronounced flavor notes, such as a clearer "raspberry" profile in specific beans.
Consistency: Quantitative screening by Serious Eats found that over 65% of particles fell within the target size range, outperforming popular competitors like the Baratza Virtuoso+.
Versatility: Experts from Alternative Brewing highlight that they are suitable for everyone from light-roast drinkers seeking efficiency to dark-roast lovers looking for chocolate and toffee notes.
Installation: While easy to install for many, it's recommend following Fellow's official video guide, as some Gen 1 units may require minor sanding of the motor shaft for a perfect fit.
