Fellow Ode 2

Pros
- If you can spend more and forget about espresso altogether, the best option would be Fellow Ode 2.
- Electric: Ode 2, or Ode 2 with SSP MP, or Timemore Sculptor 078. I think Ode 2 is the way to go
- I love mine, takes a couple of rounds to dial it in but works great and way better then the encore I came from.
- It has some very annoying design quirks and it sprays coffee everywhere unless you RDT but if you RDT it exacerbates some of the other issues (like coffee getting stuck in the hopper). But it is a good grinder. It's very quiet and pretty...
- Haven't had it for super long, but I immediately noticed an increase in cup quality using the same coffee and variables. My workflow is better with the auto stop and it is much quieter which is nice.
Cons
- Have had mine for about two years with the SSP burrs. Grinding is uniform and hasn’t choked/stalled like past grinders. However, even with constant cleaning, I feel like the anti-static feature doesn’t perform as well as it should in the...
- Grind 6-7 on Fellow Ode 2
- Like other mentions, workflow is better, quieter, and better grinds.. Only thing I don't like is the lid to the catch can sucks! And you have to brush the anti-static pins once a week or so..
- Above that, DF54 or Fellow Ode 2.

Have had mine for about two years with the SSP burrs. Grinding is uniform and hasn’t choked/stalled like past grinders. However, even with constant cleaning, I feel like the anti-static feature doesn’t perform as well as it should in the long term. Grind retention varies; 80% of the time it will grind 100% of the dose out, other times I have to rock the unit back and forth to catch the stragglers in the burr chamber.

Grind: Medium Fine (I use 4 on the Fellow Ode 2)
In your situation, I'd consider the Breville Bambino route with a separate grinder (along the lines of of a fellow ode 2 or df64, unless you want a hand grinder)
