I remember reading a lot about Ode not being able to grind fine enough for V60s. There have been upgrades to the burrs but afaik the original one was a bit iffy. That is the reason I did not buy one a few years back. It might be something to take a gander at, and also to check what burrs are in the refurbished Ode.
Damn that would be bad, V60 is what I am doing the most of. Any reviews I should read?
Don’t fret. I have the original ODE and the v2 changes which included the updated burrs. It’s does a fantastic job for v60 pour over. It was also fine on v1 burrs just better with v2 burrs. Discounted refurbished is the way to go to cost effectively up your grinder game. Static is handled with a spray bottle; not a big deal - just part of the ritual.
Right on. I have seen a lot of people on YouTube preferring the AliExpress grinder the Turín/Itop/MiiCoffee SD40 over Encore and the Fellow Opus but IDK about the Ode. But I also think they might be selling those grinders and maybe make a higher margin on them vs. reselling Baratza or Fellow products. I'm weirded out by AliExpress brands sometimes though because it's easy to buy from another seller copying the original seller with an inferior product. I'm kinda thinking of maybe getting the Solis Scala Zero just because it's cheaper at $100.
I can't remember any from the top of my head. There was decent amount of discussion about it on in reddit r/coffee.
