Shock Hazard: This appliance has a grounded, three-pronged plug. To ensure protection against risk of electric shock or fire, connect to properly grounded outlets only. The plug fits only one way into an outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the plug by modifying the plug in any way or using an adapter. Do not plug this appliance into an outlet with a voltage other than specified on the bottom of this appliance.
Do not use an adapter with this appliance.
A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the risk of becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. If a longer cord is necessary, an approved extension cord may be used. The electrical rating of the extension cord must be equal to or greater than the rating of this appliance. Take care to arrange the extension cord to not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over. To avoid an electrical circuit overload, do not use any high wattage appliance on the same circuit with this appliance.
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
Before use, please read these safety warnings carefully and use the grinder properly. These safety warnings are indicated for the safe and proper use of this product to prevent danger to the user or others and damage to property.When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following:

CLEANING AND USE
BEFORE USE
Remove and recycle or discard all stickers, descriptive labels, cable ties and packing materials, including static stickers and hang tags with ties.
Before cleaning, we recommend running the grinder for 10 seconds without coffee beans to help clear beans/grounds from the burrs and grinds chute.
Always unplug power cord from power outlet before cleaning.
Wipe body of the grinder with a soft, damp cloth. Wipe down magnetically aligned catch and catch lid and dry thoroughly.
Place grinder on a level surface and plug into a correct voltage.
HOW TO USE
-
Select grind size by twisting the grinds dial to the left or right (1 = fine, 11 = coarse). See our Grind Guide (Diagram A) to help make your selection.
-
Remove the lid from the single dose load bin by lifting off.
-
Pour the desired quantity of roasted whole coffee beans into the load bin up to a maximum of 100 g /3.5 oz. Replace the lid. Ensure the catch is fully beneath the chute and is empty. Do not grind more than 100 g of coffee without emptying the catch. Allowing the catch to overfill can jam the grinder.
Diagram A:
-
Press power button. The grinder will start grinding and stop automatically once your beans are done grinding. OR press and hold the power button for more than 1.5 seconds. The grinder will grind until the button is released.
GENERAL CLEANING
If the grinder is used daily, the burrs should be cleaned at least every three months using tablets (see “Automatic Cleaning”) or with a stiff brush.
To clean burrs, remove the burrs following the instructions in the “Removing and Replacing Burrs” section.
Do NOT immerse the grinder in water. Do NOT wash the burrs with water. Never place fingers into the grind chute while product is plugged in.
Using the provided brush, gently brush coffee dust off of the burrs and replace burrs following the instructions in the “Removing and Replacing Burrs” section.
To wash the catch, wipe gently with a soft cloth and warm soapy water. Dry with a dry cloth after cleaning.
Wipe grinder exterior and load bin with a soft, damp cloth.
AUTOMATIC CLEANING
A fast way to clean your grinder is using grinder cleaning tablets like Urnex Grindz™ grinder cleaning tablets. These are designed to prevent clogging by freeing coffee particles stuck to the burrs and absorbing/removing odors and coffee oil residue.
To use cleaning tablets, make sure all beans are run through your grinder by running it for 10-20 seconds. Use the cleaning tablet instructions to place appropriate amount into grinder. Adjust the grind setting to 11 and press the power button to run the grinder. Grind all of the tablets into the catch. Once complete, we recommend grinding approximately 30 g coffee to remove any tablet residue. Discard the ground tablets/coffee from the catch and clean.
MAINTENANCE
Any other servicing should be performed by an authorized service
representative.
CLEARING A JAMMED GRINDER
On occasion, Ode Brew Grinder may become jammed and stop grinding. When this occurs, the grinder will stop grinding before it has finished all the coffee in the hopper and beep “SOS” (save our ship).
Minor jams can be cleared as follows:
- Check that the catch is empty. Turn the grinds dial to setting 11.
- Tap the grinder firmly on the side several times and shake.
- Press the power button and continue to firmly tap the side of the grinder for several seconds. If grinding resumes, the jam is cleared. If not, proceed to the instructions for clearing a major jam.
Major jams can be cleared as follows:
- Unplug the grinder.
- Remove the burrs as instructed in the “Removing and Replacing Burrs” section of this manual.
- Clear coffee from the grinds chamber and discard.
- Inspect burrs for coffee beans or foreign materials (rocks, sticks, unroasted coffee bean, etc.) that may be stuck. Remove stuck coffee beans and clean burrs as instructed in the “Cleaning” section of this manual.
- Reinstall burrs. Run grinder without coffee for 5 seconds to check that it operates as expected. The grinder should spin quietly and at an even speed. If the grinder is making an unexpected noise, repeat this process and carefully inspect to ensure that all coffee particles have been cleared out. If the problem persists, please email Fellow customer service at hello@fellowproducts.com.
REMOVING AND REPLACING THE GRINDING BURRS
CAUTION: The Grinding Burrs are sharp, please handle carefully!
- Adjust your grind setting to 11, unplug your grinder, and empty it of coffee.
- Start by removing the faceplate of the grinder. The faceplate simply snaps on and off. Pull gently on the faceplate for it to snap off. See Diagram B for reference.
- Using a Phillips-head screwdriver, unscrew the four larger size screws that have arrows pointing to them. See Diagram C for reference.
- Pull on grind dial to remove the grinds dial assembly

- Carefully remove the rotational burr/auger (the burr closest to you), auger key, and spring from the grinds chamber by pressing in. Take care not to lose any pieces as you remove. See Diagrams D & E for reference. If you are just cleaning, do not disassemble the burrs further. Using the provided brush, gently brush coffee dust off of the burrs and replace burrs.
If you are replacing the burrs, continue onto the next steps.
- The stationary burr is attached to the grinds chamber. To remove the stationary burr, start by using a Phillips-head screwdriver to remove the three screws that hold it in place. If there is ground coffee in these screws that interferes with their removal, use a small brush to clear the ground coffee before attempting to remove the screws. Carefully remove the stationary burr (Diagram F).
- The rotational burr is attached to the auger. To remove the rotational burr, start by using a Phillips-head screwdriver to remove the three screws that hold it in place. If there is ground

coffee in these screws that interferes with their removal, use a small brush to clear the ground coffee before attempting to remove the screws (Diagrams G & H).
- Carefully lift the rotational burr away from the auger. To replace the burrs, repeat these steps in reverse order. Make sure that the rotational burr is reattached to the auger and that the stationary burr is reattached to the grinds chamber.

CALIBRATING YOUR ODE BREW GRINDER
Ode Brew Grinder is designed for brewing coffee and cannot grind fine enough for most espresso-machines. However, if you like to grind finely for AeroPress® Coffee Maker, Prismo, Hario V60, or other brewing methods, you may want to make sure that where the burrs touch, or “zero point,” of your grinder is correctly calibrated to better achieve this range.
Your grinder arrives calibrated from the factory. As the burrs are seasoned, the burr touch point will drift slightly which is normal and as such you should expect the settings to shift slightly coarser.
Keeping your grinder calibrated so that Setting 1 is always 1 click away from the burr touch point helps keep the grinding performance consistent over the life of your grinder.
