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?

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

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

I love my Ode with a passion, i just have the Gen 1--but it's great and you can pick it up for cheaper than the Gen 2; I believe I got mine for $200

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.
