tl;dr: Fellow = Yes
You can’t go wrong with Fellow; Get their Ode Gen 2 for killer filter coffee or the Opus if you need espresso and filter versatility. 🔥☕
If you're serious about coffee, an electric burr grinder is a must-have. Unlike blade grinders (which alas, are the cheaper option), burr grinders are way more consistent and you’ve got more control over grind size, meaning your coffee based dreams are endless.
Whether you're making espresso, pour-over, or French press, the right grinder will seriously elevate your brew. Below, we compare the best at-home coffee grinders available in the UK in 2025, from budget-friendly options to high-end masterpieces.

Pricey

Doesn’t take up much space
The Fellow Ode Gen 2 is a premium home grinder designed for filter coffee nuts.It’s remarkably consistent and can be easily adjusted to suit each roast and holds back very few grounds. If you primarily brew pour-over, Aeropress, or French press, this is the best option, however if you're wanting to grind for espresso (or brew some of that good good cold brew in Summer) I’d give this a miss and go for the Opus, also by Fellow.
Buy it from Origin, not Amazon.
Origin Coffee are giving away 3 months of free beans when you buy an Ode grinder through them, so do that.
Fuck Bezos.
