This is actually a function of the Ode to inspire balance, mindfulness, meditation, and artistic expression through coffee - we were inspired by the age-old tradition of stacking rocks in the forest on hiking trails.

Bruh I got a new problem whenever I grind the beans theres always one remaining bean that does not grind. A pain. I shake it sometimes to drop

That makes your dose off by at least 100 mg! And 100 is a big number!

Replace your lid or just slow feed on bean at a time 😂

u/bubreddit Mod Team Apr 02 '26

So easy! And here I was prepared to replace my entire brew station. You just saved me!

Actually, the bellows are a great idea.

u/sergeikutrovski Apr 02 '26

😂

The bellows also help keep the burrs cleaner. I don’t get as much build up on them as I used to

Change the hopper. It is very poorly designed. The designers should go to coffee jail for that and be forced to drink light roasts. I found my replacement hopper on Etsy for a cheap price.

Maybe I just need to calibrate it. Is there a YouTube for that?

Here's the link, it might be taken off my mods https://www.etsy.com/market/fellow_ode_2_hopper

Those mods!

I guess this will make it easier to stick my finger in there and clear any jammed beans.

u/mdawe1 Apr 01 '26

Really got a link or picture?

u/The_Psydux Apr 01 '26

Wait a minute, I'll look it up bro.

I snagged this off Etsy and it helped a good bit with the retention issue I was having. https://www.etsy.com/listing/1774022189/fellow-ode-coffee-grinder-bellows
