Ode Gen 2 Brew Burrs Installation Guide

[@LoveMyRottweiler1]

OMG! Your video just saved my Ode 1 grinder. A few months ago, mine got jammed with beans and I was unable to grind. I took it apart but was unable to remove all the parts, the auger was jammed in, and I could not get it out. I threw the machine out in the garage and left it. Until I watched your video, which inspired me to give it another try, and I’m glad I did. However, I had a hell of a time getting my auger out of the machine, using pliers and a screwdriver. I finally got the auger out, I then did what you mentioned in this video and sanded the shaft lightly and I also sanded the inside of the auger. Put it all back together now I’m back in business grinding coffee, almost sold it for parts…thanks.

[@Canadianswiss]

Awesome video, very easy to follow. I'm making my first cup of coffee now and the burrs did a perfect job. From a dude that is in the trades and have seen some seriously convoluted installs, making both of the new burrs exactly the same was an amazing move. Bravo.

[@jameskay574]

Hats off to you folks at Fellow! I just ordered the V2 burr set and this video is very clear and concise. I am anxious to get the new burrs and confident I can install them properly because of this video. I am impressed that this company is committed to their product and customers and is offering this new burr set for a reasonable price. The original Ode is still a great grinder, but you keep making it better and allow older models to benefit from the new burr design without having to buy a whole new grinder. I wish more companies were like Fellow.

[@spektrograf]

Thanks, Nick, and thanks Fellows meda team for making this video. The steps are super easy to follow and work right along side the video. Swap and calibration went smoothly without a hitch. I also have to note that going through the steps allowed me to appreciate how much thoughtful design went into the mechanical engineering and assembler ergonomics of the machine itself. So many little details that really go a long ways to prevent errors. So much design in preventing the escape of fines. I'm an early kickstarter backer, and have been happily grinding several times daily since I received it. I've never cleaned the grinder and it's remarkable how clean the grinder is compared to my past grinders. Fines stay within the grind chamber and there is BARELY any residuals to clean. Thanks for all the great work you all do! 🙏👍😊

[@mcignatz]

Thank you for the video! Very reassuring to see the process walked through in such detail. Can't wait to install the new burrs!

[@michaelfree3308]

Just finished installing mine! Super easy. Some tips I would suggest are to use a dental pick or something similar (toothpick, eyeglass screwdriver, point of scissors, etc) to clean out the screw heads. Some grinds were caked on mine and I almost stripped the screw until I cleaned it out with this. Also, the inside of the auger, I used a Q tip to loosen the grinds. I used a hairdryer on the cool setting to blow out the grinds. If you are having trouble getting the fixed burr out, use some else (I used my brush) to rotate it a few times to loosen it before using your hands.

[@juts89]

Hah yeah i used an x-acto knife to clean the screws, and I wrapped a paper towel around a chop stick to clean the inside of the augur. Getting the angle for sandpapering and getting the inner burr out was a bit tedious but the process wasnt so bad.

[@Alistair_Spence]

This is a very well made video with good pacing and clear instructions. Much appreciated, I ordered my Gen 2 burrs right after watching it (I hadn't realized that they were currently available) and am looking forward to putting them to work.

[@jl6634]

Just followed this and it worked out. I had an original kickstarter ode, and have used it almost every day, and I didn't have to do the augur and sandpaper step (I had to open it earlier and recalibrate). Thanks for the detailed instructions. I highly recommend the compressed air for cleaning and maybe even some goggles/glasses so the grounds don't get in your eyes

[@JT-zy2ft]

Luck, mine took like 10 minutes to remove then took another 10 minutes of sanding to get smoothly back in.

[@normanomicon3886]

As great as this video is, there's a couple of parts that are still confusing: For one, he specifies "centering" the burr when screwing it back in... this is super meticulous and I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong. Like, I align it with the screw holes and screw it in, that should be good enough but my OCD is not happy with that Secondly, the calibration. He says to turn it until it "chirps", then take it one click back. Thing is, mine starts to make a very subtle chirp/click one click before the loud chirp like in the video. So if I follow these instructions based on noise, that means that my grinder set at 1 will make a very subtle click/chirping noise, and I'm not sure if that's normal or I need to take it one more click

[@zachpeabody]

Just finished my install. Easy enough. Only a few issues, my auger was missing a burr screw oddly enough. I don't think it ever had it as there was no damage to the gen 1 Burr's. Also during calibration, mine didn't quite make the sound yours made, I heard them touch barely, then one more step and the made a squeeky noise.went back three steps from there to be safe. First grind at 3-4 was very uniform and the aeropress was very flavorful. Very informative video and I'll stick with your brand for a long while.

I bought the V2 burrs and got them shipped to Denmark. I just installed them and they are amazing :) I am blown away :)

[@bfaIllini1]

Just recalibrated my new burrs and ran into the same problem I had with original installation. Video clearly shows depressing the assembly while reinstalling the 4 large screws. ***If you tighten those screws completely, the burrs will not turn. They need to be loosened somewhat. This is critical to make certain all works as intended. Otherwise, very helpful video. Thank you

[@sarukochan]

Thanks so much for the video! Very thorough and clear. I did have to break up my caked-up grinds with a toothpick before my airblow gun could get it. Put on goggles before you using an auto detailing airblower on your grinder's internals, because coffee grinds in the eyes REALLY stings. ...I say, as COMPLETE conjecture, because this is definitely not a rookie mistake I would have made personally. Nope, definitely not at all speaking from experience there. Just looking out for y'all, is all. *shifty eyes* When calibrating my burrs, there was a pretty noticeable rattling sound coming from the auger shaft. This is how I discovered that, after a lot of hard use, the auger key develops rotational directionality. My key actually has visible wear on the torque-receiving ends. So if after burr installation, you find your Ode is just a little noisier than it used to be, try flipping the auger key around. It didn't impact my grind quality (at least that I noticed), but it definitely sounds better one way than the other.

[@RandomS4nity]

Great video, thanks. I just swapped out my burrs. The auger on mine was tough as hell to remove. I had to sand it for quite a while to get it to slide back on easily. Been using my grinder since 2019.

[@FellowProducts]

You got it, Earl!

[@sandradelavega3431]

Just installed mine, thank you very much. It was really easy.

[@MarionRelics]

I installed the burr successfully but I can't get the thing back together. The plastic plate that holds the knob on will not seat properly and seems to be getting pushed out by some part of the "geared" piece inside, but I can't see what's happening in there once I put the plate in place. It feels like the auger is sticking out too far, but I have calibrated it as instructed.

[@benmckee3993]

I'm running into the same issue. EDIT: I made it work! TLDR; go back a few steps and check your auger key's alignment. Details: I essentially started from scratch. I pulled the large screws out and reexamined the auger. The auger key itself was not sitting within the slot, which was messing with my calibration. I moved the auger around a bit to make that alignment / slot perfect, and the key sat cleaning / flush within it. From there, I put the big screws back on, and I was amazed at how far OPEN my grind dial had been. It was chirping maybe 10-12 full wheel cranks before it should have, because of that auger key misalignment (and as a result, burr misalignment). Go to the chirp, step back, stop, make sure your dial cover is at 1 (not 11). From there, the cover sat really cleanly on top, and when screwing it in tightly I could still turn the dial like normal. The only other thing I'll suggest is this video, which points out the plastic impression within dial cover. That could be another issue you're running into: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iYXKfaCvjK1jrMk

[@robertjason6885]

That is one terrific "how to." I'm really loving my 1.1 burr set for both Pour over for my Behmor Brazen. I forgot exactly what the pour over flavor profile is between the 1.1 and 2.0? (After a 5 kilo break in. U usually sacrifice some flavor punch to grind coarser for burr seasoning.

[@nickterzulli8912]

The 1.1 is going to be high clarity and high acidity, but lower extraction for lightly roasted single dosed coffees. Then Gen 2 is an all around unimodal burr that focuses on sweetness and body with enough clarity to respect the coffee. They are VERY high extracting.

[@wissamharb5684]

Very clear instructions thank you! I'm at the calibration step so as I'm rotating anti clockwise, I got to a very subtle noise of the burrs grinding (very subtle) 1 more click beyond that was the same loud and clear grinding sound as in the video. My question is which stage do I back up from?

[@square0ne468]

Hello, I have the same concern, did you figure it out?

[@wissamharb5684]

@square0ne468 tightening things up and moving the grinder to a more even surface seemed to do the trick

[@mcignatz]

Hey Nick, I just wanted to follow up post-burr installation. BTW, the new burrs are great! I have subscribed to the Fellow Drops program. At the moment, they're offering grind sizes for the V1 burr set, as well as SSP burrs. I'm wondering if you have a specific offset in mind, in terms of clicks, that I could apply to the Fellow Drop recipes, based on whatever the V1 burr setting is?

[@nickterzulli8912]

If we recommend a V1 burr setting, I would start by adding 3 to it. So if Ode V1 burrs are a 2, I would start at a 5. For SSP burrs calibrated 5 clicks off of chirp, I would add 1 to the recommended setting.

[@mcignatz]

@@nickterzulli8912 Thank you for that info, Nick, and hats off to you and the rest of the design team! The new burrs are insanely good! And for anyone with V1 burrs who think that adjustment number Nick has cited for the new burrs is big, I can attest to the fact that the V2s grind muuuuch finer.

[@mcignatz]

Hey Nick! I'm curious if you or anyone at Fellow has a standardized adjustment/translation for setting the dial on an Ode with V2 burrs so it grinds at the same micron size as a Comandante C-40 at most any given Comandante click number (barring espresso grinding). Asking because apart from the Fellow Drop videos, most recipes that I see online are giving the grind setting only for the C-40 and I'd love to be able to get my Ode close to what's being asked for vis-a-vis the C-40. At least until the Ode overtakes the Comandante in popularity!

[@j_merlotte5467]

Exceptionally well done 'how to' video.

[@JT-zy2ft]

I did have a question related to installation but of the ssp burrs. I installed the gen 2 burrs but also just picked up and installed ssp mb burrs. Both installations are similar except for the calibration step. Why are ssp burrs 5 clicks from chirp and gen 2 1 click?

[@nickterzulli8912]

The SSP MP burrs require more torque to grind at lower settings than the Gen 2 burrs. If you calibrate the SSP MP burrs 1 click off chirp and try and grind very lightly roasted coffee that fine, Ode can rock, shake, and potentially jam. This is why we recommend calibrating the SSP MP burs 5 clicks off of chirp. It will guarantee smooth operation of them in Ode. With the Gen 2 burrs, they were designed so that grinding 1 click off of burr touch will be no problem for Ode's motor. Hope this helps.

[@_hannbee]

I followed these and now have issues with beans constantly getting STUCK (ie they don't feed from hopper to catch) periodically the motor winds down then up seemingly to try and get them loss?? This never happened before and the Grind size downs change it?

[@jonccwong]

Did u guys make the dial from 1-11 so you can say "we're gonna turn it all the way to 11" \m/

[@applepieclub5012]

A tip to remove the stationary burr: move the burr so the screw holes don’t align anymore (aka are covered by the burr) this will allow you to put it right out.

[@andreas3120]

Is an alignment of the burrs necessary or can I just swap the burrs and it works?

[@gregorio5543]

I still don't get how tight I should be tightening the auger. Everytime I tighten it, the burrs lock and I can't move the dial. I emailed customer service about this and still haven't gotten an answer

[@LorenHeiman]

Just did the upgrade but now my grinder has a rattling sound. Burrs are definitely not touching. Any ideas?

[@marcelhartig1341]

I have issues untighten the screws from the burrs, any hints on that?

[@Mistshinobi]

I cannot tell from the video, is this an Ode 1 getting an upgrade? Are these new burrs compatible with the older model grinder?

[@LorenHeiman]

It's an ode 1. Ode 2 doesn't beep after auto shut off. Gen 2 burrs are compatible with all generations of Ode grinders.

[@JT-zy2ft]

Any info as to grind size comparisons from the OG burrs to the V2? So for example if we’ve been using 1 on the OG would that now be a 2 on the v2?

[@nickterzulli8912]

Setting 1 on an Ode with V1/V1.1 burrs would be equivalent to around a 3-4 on Ode Gen 2 Brew Burrs. The Gen 2 burrs also extract higher than the V1/V1.1 at the same target particle size, so I would not be afraid to experiment.

[@curtsoloff4519]

@@nickterzulli8912 This is helpful. I had been using 3 for v60, a bit less for Aeropress or Stagg dripper, a bit more for Chemex. For French press, though, I dialed it up around 9. Have you found that it should be dialed nearly all the way up for French press with the Gen 2 burrs?

[@nickterzulli8912]

@@curtsoloff4519 Depends on the roast level of the coffee; but yes, you'll need to go higher than 9 on the Gen 2 burrs if you want the same level of extraction as the V1/V1.1. I encourage you to try different settings to see what tastes the best.

@@nickterzulli8912 I usually stick with pretty light roasts, though I happen to have a Sumatra right now that is a bit darker. I brewed on v60 this morning with the new burrs and dialed Ode to 5 and the coffee did seem a bit overextracted to me, but I suspect this might be close to the right setting for the coffees I normally have at home.

[@nickterzulli8912]

@@curtsoloff4519 Yep that was me. Glad you enjoyed that coffee and recipe.

Keep sanding and cleaning. It can take awhile on some units. Be sure to sand all along the entire slot and around the entire front end. It can be tedious, but I promise you will get there. What grit of sandpaper are you using? You may need to move from a coarser grit to a finer grit as you go. Let me know how I can help!

if I replace the burrs on my gen one grinder will I lose my warranty? I would like to upgrade the burrs but I am afraid of burning out the motor

[@nickterzulli8912]

You won't lose your warranty. The burrs were specifically designed for this grinder and for this motor. We wouldn't build and sell products that are designed to fail. Ode Gen 2 (with the Gen 2 burrs and same motor as Gen 1, has a 2 year warranty. 3 years if you register the product).

NICK ,*** SOS*** PLEASE, I have been so confused with different videos for Gen2 Regarding the Correct setting after Is calibrating for the SSP-MP BURRS. Different videos regarding 5 clicks after first chrip & much later 3 clicks after you hear the first chirp but with an SSP-MP Burrs. I was reading that it is different with the SSP-MP because they tend to grind finer generally??? Nick can you please clarify Thank you.

[@FellowProducts]

Hailie here! I tend to calibrate 5 clicks off chirp with my SSPs - some folks have a preference for tighter burr configuration though, hence why you've seen less clicks off chirp And yep, SSPs installed in Ode Gen 2 will generally grind a bit finer at the finest setting than Gen 2 burrs

With these new burrs, you'll need to adjust the grind finer with the motor running. Kindly try that and see if the dial spins easier for you.

How about adjustment regarding the coarse settings. In the past I was on level 10 for cold brewing. Will gen 2 burrs perform similarly?

You'll need to calibrate more than 1 click off of burr touch to match that original grind size. The Gen 2 burrs can grind that coarsely, but you will need to give up some range on the fine end to make that happen. If you primarily grind that coarse, I would say that the Gen 2 burrs are probably not a worthwhile upgrade for you.

By chance, is your Ode sharing an outlet with any other devices? If so, try running it on its own outlet to see if this issue is resolved. If that doesn't work, you can also try resetting your grinder by unplugging it, waiting 2 minutes (exactly, timed), and then plugging it back in.

I just installed the Gen 2 burrs, and was surprised at how much bitterness is simply gone from the brew. The upgrade is definitely worth it. One faceplate screw fell on the floor, bounced, and disappeared. It has to be here somewhere. I was amused by the fact that the written installation instructions have 39 steps. I have not seen the Hitchcock film of that name.

I just love buying a 400$ grinder and sanding it. This should not get a requirement for maintenance

I loved my Fellow Ode first generation grinder, so I made the terrible mistake of attempting to upgrade it with the second generation burrs. My first attempt at removing the auger was a smooth one. The auger came out very easily without me having to pull it out with plierss/sand the chamber. However, for whatever reason that I still can't understand, the calibration did not go as smoothly and the side if the auger key that goes into the auger got slightly damaged (cosmetic, not structurally, as customer service assured me when I contacted them). After contacting customer support, I was told to effectively pull out the auger, clean out the chamber again, re-insert the auger and the auger key, and try to calibrate the new burrs. With great difficulty, I was able to successfully pull out the auger and clean/sand the chamber. I contacted customer support again asking for clarification about a step they had recommended re: the calibration (which, the customer support agent indicated was for a SSP burr and not the gen 2). Didn’t hear back so, so resumed my attempt after two days of waiting. I followed their advice. Needless to say, the calibration was unsuccessful. I just pulled the dial out to discover that the auger and the auger key were had become unaligned during calibration. I simply don’t know what to do any more. I understand that everyone else seems to have had a great experience upgrading. I’m glad for them, and hope that you too, dear reader, will have a wonderfully easy time upgrading. But I think it’s worth sharing all our experiences-the good and the bad.

I'm sure it'll be obvious when I perform this procedure myself, however... fyi, one cannot see the auger key when you hold it up against that big ol hipstah beard of yours. In the next scene you're already putting it down to your left. Oh well... Looks like the thing pops right out when you depress the auger?

[@matthewj.9261]

Make sure you tighten the screws with a limp wrist like a barista would have

[@jfmaddox9]

I followed every direction and everything is definitely not okay. It’s spitting out bits of silver everywhere.

[@nickterzulli8912]

Something went wrong during your install. Metal bits come out when the auger is not making contact with the internal spring, which means your dial bearing is recessed. The auger spins against the back of the dial plate and causes scraping. Please make sure that 1) the spring is still installed in the shaft, and 2) the auger key fully seats as you reinstall the dial. If both of these are good, all you need to do is calibrate the grinder. After that, run coffee through it to clean out the shards. The surface that gets damaged when this happens does not impact grinder function at all; so you will be good to go once calibrated.

Outstanding video!! Can you guys please do ALL the world's how-to vids?!!

[@nerdusbirdus]

This killed my ode. I can't even open it up to put the old burrs back.

2:29 🍑🤏

[@nternalPractice]

What a miserable nightmare this turned into!😡 There are TWO sets of 4 screws accessible on the very first step (under the faceplate). One set of 4 is very prominent and the 2nd set of 4 is recessed. I didn't even notice the recessed screws and removed the prominent ones . OFF COURSE, where the wrongs ones and created a HUGE problem as I tried to figure out the mess in front of me. Of course, I was now randomly dismantling things and I got sticky lubricant goo all over my hands, tools and work space (creating a big problem for the rest of the process). WHY couldn't Nick simply make it clear that one needed to remove the (less obvious) recessed screws instead of expecting people to be able to read his mind?

[@einsomniumkm]

I really like to small form factor of the ode. But if the users have to potentially wrestle a plier with the augur / augur key, and still need the users to SAND PAPER the augur shaft... OMG... This is really a terrible design in an engineering standpoint and UI/UX perspective. So sorry to say this

[@WhadayanoJoe]

If I purchase an ODE today does it come with the Gen 2 burrs already installed?

[@nickterzulli8912]

Not yet! We’ll make an announcement when Ode is available with these preinstalled.
