Ode Brew Grinder Gen 1

Is auger key noise a thing? I have a gen1 with sweet labs and i’ve not noticed this. Also used 3 other burrs with no key issues.

While i cant be assured its always that issue (i dont have a multiple unit experience) there isnt a ton of play in the unit and once the auger is turning, what is the key really doing? I have seen videos of https://www.reddit.com/r/pourover/comments/11s0l2b/fellow_ode_engine_noise_solution/ That audio sounds ofd, even in the off mode the background audio seems loud, but maybe the shims really helped… Maybe people are confusing the initial pid rpm vs the key rattle?

Find an ode gen 1 for cheap and install the timemore turbo burrs in it! https://www.reddit.com/r/pourover/comments/1kaak2n/fellow_ode_timemore_turbo_burrs_incredible/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=mweb3x&utm_name=mweb3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

I have a fellow ode gen 1 and it works great for me. I know they did a lot of updates on the gen 2 and seems to be a pretty popular grinder for pour over and the moccamaster. Edit: here is a link to the gen 2, but you can find gen ones for much cheaper. https://fellowproducts.com/products/ode-brew-grinder-gen-2?utm_source=google&utm_medium=paid_search&utm_campaign=trademark_keywords_ode-trademark-search&utm_source_platform=google_ads&utm_content=branded_copy&utm_term=fellow%20ode&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=14888767084&gbraid=0AAAAADi8OEvHvwbc8jOQFb8diNnfDdOde&gclid=Cj0KCQjws4fEBhD-ARIsACC3d28vsjOAFZ3yG9qla1K9D0p2Aauj57GgPSxECfWGJ02TIrGomLHtMfoaAuRSEALw_wcB

Used ode gen 1 through fellow website. Got mine for $150. Like new. Love it.

If you get the Ode Gen 1, make sure you RDT. The Ode Gen 1 is notorious for static.

I have a gen 1 ode that I threw gen 2 burrs into and later the timemore 064 turbo filter burrs and those have been fun but honestly not a ton different in taste. I may grab some SSP burrs in the future. That’s the beauty of 64mm you can play around with all kinds of burrs

Df64 gen 2 or ode 1/2 with the right burrs can be a very capable choice…same can be said for an 064 or any other decent 64 platform. For hand grinders it has to be zp6 or pietro I would imagine. Pietro would be out of the budget range but either could be found used also.

I've had my Ode gen 1 for a few years now and just swapped in the gen 2 burrs recently. I use it almost every day for v60 pour overs and probably won't buy another grinder until this one gives up. It's built really well and I haven't had any issues with it. I got it used so I know it's at least 3 years old. My only complaints are I was getting fines with light roasts (fixed with the gen 2 burrs) and that it makes a bit of a mess, but I think that has been improved on gen 2 with the anti static feature and the redesigned cup.

Yeah I noticed a big improvement specifically with light roasts. Much more uniform grind
