Hello, I'm waiting for my Ode with SSP to come :D Just wanna know-how is your Ode perform Making espresso occasionally till now How is the retention while making espresso? Thank you!
I find the retention to be different depending on the beans I used. Overall not perfect but happy enough as when I put 18g in the range out is 17.4-17.9
Between 6-8 depending on the bean type and roasting level. With light roast single origin I enjoy 6.1 with flat bed filter. With darker roast I like 7.2 :)
I'm not an engineer but I don't understand what the concern everyone is saying. An x54 is rated at 120watts yet you can say it's a dedicated espresso machine. I do have a question though, for the espresso shot in the video is that about the finest it will go? Wondering if I were to do something like a slayer shot, can it go any finer (with stepless mod) ?
The motor was not designed for espresso grinding. With the Mp burrs you can grind fine enough for espresso but constantly grinding that fine will strain the motor and decrease life expectancy.
Agree! But we don’t see it as an upgrade, more of a 2 in one. We are quite happy with the espresso result as we change beams often and dialing in isn’t too hard but not optimal.
Great to see you are from Thailand ! I’m living here too ^^ Coffee equipment here is so expensive with import taxes .. how much did you get yours ? Ive seen the price about 12000thb for the grinder and 8/9000 the for the burr set
Yes, things are way too expensive here for equipments. I got it at that price but with 20% off as I got a deal from this store lifestyle.firster.com/ with their promotion code, it used to be call His.
Hi ! Having the same issue as you. The grind with default burrs are not fine enough even for my V60 (I don't do espresso). Which burrs do you think I should get. And may I ask where you get the burrs from ? Thanks.
Great video! I'm literally going threw the same buying options at minute! Have you seen James hoffmans video on the ssp burrs with the ode? Aren't you worried about the motor?
hi there, I did watched and a lot of research on the watt output so at 140W I think it's at the lower end but not too low. For my 3-4 times a week with lighter roast on finer grind usage I have no problem. But to make sure I start the motor before putting the beans in so the Ode has enough torque. If there's a problem I will be posting more video here, but currently we love the whole experience.
@@tomvachsweeterlife9981 that sounds like a good approach, I'm the same in terms of 80% brew/aeropress/frenchpress etc I can get a wilfa uniform for £340 or the ode for £275 which do you think I should go for with those prices??
To be honest, I think they are both great. I was deciding between the two too (actually close to around 30+ grinders) but at the end I chose Fellow because of 3 factors:1) price after changing both to ssp burrs and the burrs sizes: 64mm vs 58mm 2) auto stop is around 14s for 18g coffee in Fellow, where wilfa is around 1min+. 3) I like the total look, and dosing cup experience and the knocker experience (and i can put in my modified espresso dosing cup). The good thing about wilfa is that it has 41 adjustment steps where as Fellow has 31 steps, so dialing in might be a challenge. But I was thinking of modify it so that it become step-less if I had a problem dialing in, luckily I didn’t have that problem :)
@@tomvachsweeterlife9981 awesome 👌😎 I think a video on how you dial in for what particular grind size for different brew methods would be good 👍 ie what setting for aeropress, french press, moka, clever dripper etc etc Thanks for youre time today 👍
Hi do you have an update on how your fellow ode with SSP is doing? I see lots of warnings that it kills the motor but haven't seen anyone say the motor has died. How's yours?
@@tomvachsweeterlife9981 It's maybe the Hoffman effect. He says this guessing in his Ode review, and everyone takes it as gospel. I'll try out the unimodal burrs and see how it goes! If you haven't done the modification to make it stepless it's worth doing, very easy. If it slips when it's on use grease or electrical tape around the centre pin to add friction.
My stationary ssp burr wouldn't fit and I'm having to contact the companies and figure it all out. I've cleaned the unit and done everything I can think of. I definitely would not have bought this if I could do it over, lots of people online have run into the issue also.
Could you measure the noise level in decibels doing an espresso grind with the SSP? It seems somewhat noisy in the video. Your phone might be able to measure in decibels.
I am confused by the offering of SSP. From what I gather there are 3 different 64mm Red Speed burrs from SSP directly (my retailer calls them "brewing", "espresso", and " multi-purpose" and then there is the SSP burrs from Fellow. Which one of those would you recommend for 1-2 daily cup pourover and 1 weekly espresso? Which one did you choose
Meh. If you’re referring to the marker alignment it has been shown that it does not properly align the burrs throughout the grinding range. Kind of a waste of time actually.
Hiya. After 3 weeks any issues? I just got both the ode and also upgrade burrs for espresso grind but am getting cold feet on upgrading because of all the reviews n warnings about the stress on the machine😔 Appreciate any advice. I would be grinding for expresso at least 2x a day.Thanks. Oh and where did you get the dosing cup from😊
Hi there, I have been using the grinder daily and I haven’t had a single problem at all 😇 I normally do a cup of filter for myself and then latte for my wife. The motor works fine as it’s 140w which is plenty for home use. But I recommend you start the motor first before putting in the beans. For the dosing cup I modified it myself, and might put a video of how to make one soon😉 Hope this help.
Oh I see. But each bean is different so some bean I was at 1.1, some 1.2 and some at 2 . I think it depend on the roast of the beans and the density. I am thinking of making my one a step-less to better dial in but right now it worked well will the 9bar Gaggia. I just got the KRUVE to test out the different grind setting so will keep you posted.
Hi!! Fixed all my issues with the Ode and now coffee experience is divine! Thanks to the peeps at Yellowstuff whom I purchased grinder from, they were super helpful!! I notice you are based in BKK. Any chance you would be interested in selling another dosing cup you modified? 😉😊
Ode is $300 but you need to spend $185 minimally for SSP burrs. Df64 with stock burrs are fine for espresso, but if you put in $185 SSP burrs, now you're at around $600-650.
Too risky of an upgrade. Should be a big disclaimer for folks watching this. If only doing occasional espresso just get a $200 hand grinder and baratza or breville for drip. Or, just stop at the Vario. It can do everything..and well
