Love it
Sept 2024 – I just ordered this grinder from Amazon last week and have only been using it for about 4 days now – however I really like it. I had been using the Fellow Ode grinder for last couple years – which a friend had given me. It worked fine – liked the design, was fairly quiet however it had many things I didn’t like about it.Moving to this new grinder is like night and day – some of the benefits over my old grinder:1. Match my moccamaster brewer – so they are cohesive.2. Much larger hopper that has enough weight from the beans to ensure the fall down into the grinder without always having to be pushed like my older grinder3. About the same noise level – maybe a little louder but not much4. Solid build – high quality feel to it5. best of all – super clean output – my old grinder did not have a good seal between the grinder shoot and the container so my counter top was always getting coffee grounds on it – hated that!This grinder has a nice tight seal between the rubber container top and the chute – so you don’t get all kinds of debris flying everywhere making for a messy counter – zero debris = clean counter top!My old grinder had an auto stop feature – but this grinder requires you to keep pressing the power button to grind – that’s fine with me – I kind of enjoy watching the grounds filling the container especially at the high rate this machine grinds. The grounds are all very uniform also – very consistent.

So far, so good
Since we recently purchased a Moccamaster coffee maker and love it, I decided to get the grinder to match and they look spectacular together.The grinder seems to be a step up from our Baratza Virtuoso. It also produces a more consistent grind which has resulted in an elevation of the quality of our morning brew, at least IMO. For those who don’t like having to hold the button while it’s operating, I say “forget it.” It’s really not a bother because it grinds fast — about four times faster than our old grinder.Two things I’d point out though. The static is real and a problem IMO. I use a couple spritzes of water on the beans before grinding and that does the trick. I know not everyone agrees with this technique, but it works and I doubt that much water will destroy the burrs.The bean hopper has a very low slope and some of the beans get stuck and require a bit of coaxing. They really should fix this on future models. Again, not a huge deal. I hated the Ode grinder for that very reason, but don’t seem to mind it now. Could be because of the clear hopper so you can see what’s happening.I think it’s a very solid and very heavy grinder and would buy it again.I got it on a BF deal, but then it got even cheaper the next week. I’m glad I got it and do think it’s elevated the coffee from our Moccamaster.

Great coffee grinder
This coffee grinder is just perfect. I have it set to just under 6 grind. I use this for my Moccamaster brewer, and it grinds it for a tasty pot of brewed coffee every time. It’s a little loud while grinding, but not too loud. I don’t mind holding the grind button while it grinds (15 seconds or so), but some people say they don’t like that. The beans I use are not very oily, and it works great – so not sure how it performs with oily beans. I order coffee from a local coffee roaster, so the beans I use are very fresh. There is a bit of static in the glass grounds container, but that doesn’t bother me either – I just wash the glass grounds container every time I use it. It’s always clean and ready to go each morning! I highly recommend this grinder.

Broken after 1 month of use. Second time
The burr grinder does a great job with consistent grinds. But, I have now had 2 units fail after 3-4 weeks. The second lasted just over 1 month before the unit just stopped dead during grinding. Unfortunately, this is just a few days past the Amazon return policy end date so I am stuck with a $350 grinder that doesn’t function. I will reach out to Technivorn but I don’t think this device will work in the long run based on history so far. Do not recommend.

Simple and clean
Beans never get stuck in bin, grind is consistent and fast, and leaves minimal mess for cleanup.Compared to the fellow ode 2, it is far easier to clean as there is no gap between the grinder and container. Noise level is approximately the same. The grinds do stick to the glass container (cause glass); however a few taps will dislodge a majority of it. The glass is also extremely easy to rinse with water for the next use. Overall, I prefer this over the ode 2 despite its slightly noiser operations and grind sticking to the glass.

The Perfect Grind
This is an amazing burr grinder and perfect compliment to a Moccamaster brewer. It is unusually sturdy and quite heavy. The hopper holds a reasonable amount of beans and the grind adjustment is easily done with the top mounted dial. The grind is exceptionally even no matter the setting. The best part is the mess-free operation. It has a clever silicone/rubber cover that seals to both the grinder and glass ground coffee cup that prevents leakage of any coffee during grinding, unlike the many other grinders I’ve used. There is also a separate cover for the glass cup that creates an airtight seal should you grind more coffee than needed. Unlike other grinders, this one does not have a timed switch but requires the user to physically press the switch until the desired amount of coffee is ground. That’s where the heft of the appliance becomes an asset and prevents movement. I had my eye out for this grinder since its introduction but waited for a sale. After using it, I can candidly say it is well worth the investment even at full retail. I also anticipate its durability to be similar to that of their brewers, outstanding and unrivaled.

RecibÃ el molino y al menos en apariencia fÃsica la calidad es mejor de la que esperaba, se nota firme y duradero. Solo el problema de que no llegaron las cuatro gomas que van en la parte inferior a forma de patitas, pues sÃ³lo llegaron tres y no se como pedir o reclamar esa faltante. Por lo pronto lo instalarÃ© sin esas 4 gomas pero no esperaba algo asÃ de un producto de tan prestigiada marca. No se si alguien lo sacÃ³ antes de la caja y se les quedÃ³ una patita y asÃ me lo mandaron pero si falta esa patita. Espero usarlo pronto y que funcione bien.
