Fellow Ode Gen 2 manages coarse batches with little mess
Top pick
Fellow Ode Brew Grinder Gen 2
A brew-only range, a 100 g load bin and an anti-static system suit large coarse doses better than an espresso-first machine does. Forte BG adds weight dosing for repeated batches. OXO provides a roomy hopper for less money.
Why it suits this job
- Coarse settings
- Room for a dose
- The catch
- It is brew-only, so it does not grind for espresso.
- Go with Baratza Forte BG Flat Burr Grinder if
- Dedicated filter drinkers who want a built-in scale and construction with a commercial mindset
More reasons we picked it
- Static management
- Transfer to the brewer

Show the facts and the math
How we countedThe count uses each product's current fit ratings for “Cold brew grinds at a coarse setting”, “Grinding enough for bigger brew batches”, and “Static control for tidier grounds”. A need with no documented match is not counted.
How we calculatedA grinder counts here only if it publishes its burr diameter as a number. Diameter matters no more than burr geometry and alignment do. The median draws on the 28 of 39 models that publish comparable figures.
