Fellow Ode Gen 2 grind settings

Name: Fellow Ode Gen 2 grind settings by brew method
Creator: BrewMark

Where to set the Fellow Ode Gen 2 for every common brew method — worked out from this grinder’s own dial curve rather than a one-size-fits-all chart.

The shape of this dial

The top line is the universal grind index every BrewMark recipe uses. The bottom line is the Ode Gen 2’s own dial. The connectors show how one maps onto the other.

Where the lines bunch, the dial is compressed — small moves count for more

Settings by brew method

Start at the recommended setting, brew, then move within the range by taste. Sour or weak means go finer; bitter or harsh means go coarser.

Fellow Ode Gen 2 grind settings for espresso, moka pot, AeroPress, pour over, drip, Chemex, French press and cold brew
Method	Setting	Range
EspressoFine. Aim for a 25–30s shot and adjust from there.	1.7	1 – 2.6
Moka potFiner than filter, coarser than espresso. No tamping.	3	2.6 – 3.4
AeroPress (short steep)For 1–2 minute recipes. Go coarser for longer steeps.	3.8	3.4 – 4.4
Pour over — V60 / coneThe reference point for most published pour-over recipes.	4.8	4.4 – 5.7
Pour over — flat bottomKalita, Orea and similar. Slightly coarser than a cone.	5.7	5 – 6.6
Drip / batch brewAutomatic brewers. Coarser to suit the longer contact time.	6.3	5.7 – 7.4
ChemexThe thick filter needs a coarser grind to avoid stalling.	7.4	6.6 – 8.5
French pressCoarse. Too fine here is the usual cause of a muddy cup.	9.1	8.3 – 9.7
Cold brewCoarsest setting you have. 12–18 hours of contact.	10.2	9.7 – 11

How much room you have to adjust

Filter → coarse6numbers covering filter through to cold brew

Curvelinearflat burrs, interpolated linearly

That is the resolution you actually have to work with on the Ode Gen 2. Where the number is small, a single step moves the cup more than you would expect — so change one at a time and taste before moving again.

Dialing in the Ode Gen 2

A flat-burr brew grinder that deliberately does not attempt espresso, and is better for the focus. The Gen 2 burrs cut fines substantially versus the original, which is why its filter range sits in a narrower band than the number of settings suggests. The markings between whole numbers are real and worth using — most of the useful pour-over territory lives between two adjacent integers.

Convert a grind setting to the Ode Gen 2

If a recipe quotes a setting for a different grinder, this maps it onto the Ode Gen 2’s dial using the same curve the chart above is built from.

How these numbers were worked out

Every grinder gets mapped onto a shared 0–100 grind index, where 0 is espresso-fine and 100 is the coarsest useful setting. Five reference points on the Ode Gen 2 are placed on that scale — espresso, moka, filter, French press and coarse — and the settings in between are interpolated.

The Ode Gen 2’s five reference points have been checked against the manufacturer’s published grind chart and cross-checked against an independent source, and that check is written down in the repository. It is one of 46 models, out of 78, where that is true.

The Ode Gen 2’s dial is interpolated linearly between those reference points, which is the right model for its burr geometry.

The result is that “medium-fine” resolves to a real number on this grinder rather than a vague instruction. It is a starting point, not a guarantee — burr wear, bean density and roast level all move the target, which is why every row above gives a range as well as a number.
