• What are the differences between Ode Brew Grinder and Ode Brew Grinder Gen 2?

  Ode Brew Grinder is our original award-winning grinder designed for brewed coffee. Ode Brew Grinder Gen 2 comes as an upgrade to the original, refreshed with some thoughtful new features to improve your daily coffee brewing experience.

  Ode Brew Grinder Gen 2 comes with:

  1. Updated brew burrs (Gen 2 Brew Burrs) that were designed specifically for Ode by VP of R&D and Certified Q Grader Nick
  Terzulli. The Gen 2 Brew Burrs are capable of grinding as fine as 250 microns, while the Standard Brew Burrs that come stock in the original Ode Brew Grinder can grind as fine as 500 microns. Learn more about the different burrs here.

  2. Anti-static technology, which helps to reduce the static from freshly ground coffee. This reduces the retention of coffee grounds in the grinder from ~1g to as low as 0.1g, so there is much less grind mess than the original Ode Brew Grinder.

  3. A larger hopper that can hold 100g of beans, enough for 12 cups of brewed coffee at the golden ratio of 1:16.

  4. A redesigned hopper that has steeper angles to help feed beans down the chute for speedier grinding.

  5. A larger catch cup that can hold 100g of ground coffee, enough for 12 cups of brewed coffee at the golden ratio.

  6. A redesigned catch cup that makes it easier to pour coffee grounds into your brewing tool of choice.

• Is Ode Brew Grinder suitable for grinding espresso?

  Ode is built to dominate brewed coffee. Unfortunately, that means that Ode is not suitable for espresso. The grind range on Ode will not be fine enough (<200 microns for espresso). Ode’s 64mm flat burrs and motor are geared towards drip and immersion coffee brewing.

• What is the difference between Ode Gen 2 and Ode Gen 2 with SSP Burrs?

  Ode Brew Grinder Gen 2 comes preinstalled with Ode Gen 2 Brew Burrs.

  Ode Brew Grinder Gen 2 with SSP Burrs comes preinstalled with SSP MP Red Speed Brew Burrs.

• How do I keep the Ode Brew Grinder Gen 2 clean?

  Please see the General Cleaning instructions in the Safety Manual.

  If you start to notice that there is more grind retention (grinds stuck in the exit chute) than when you first used the unit, don’t worry! This is normal. We found during our testing that the grinder will run for about 60 cycles before it needs to be cleaned to operate at its best performance.

  To clean it, remove the catch cup, and use the provided brush and “swipe” around the inside of the exit chute (where the coffee grounds come out). This will clean the chute and help the anti-static mechanisms working well. 

  Remember: The cleaner you keep your grinder, the better the anti static mechanisms are going to work. This will help reduce the amount of coffee retained in the grinder.

• My dial gets stuck when I try to adjust the grind setting finer (the burrs are binding)!

  You may notice that your dial may get stuck if you try to adjust from a coarser grind setting (11) to a finer grind setting (1) while the machine is off.

  This is because the dial is trying to push the burrs closer together, which may compact residual coffee in the burrs. 

  We recommend adjusting the grind dial with the machine on. This is because the spinning burrs will help kick off any residual coffee as you adjust towards a finer grind setting.
