Fellow's second swing at a pour-over grinder fixed the Gen 1's range problem and delivered what the light-roast crowd actually wanted: whisper-quiet operation, tea-like clarity with washed coffees, and a workflow so clean you'll forget what static cling feels like. The catch is narrow: medium-dark roasts taste dull and flat, the hopper forces you to grind in shifts for batch brewing, and a pattern of motor failures around ten months of daily use means longevity isn't guaranteed despite the premium price. If you brew single light-roast pourovers and prize clarity over versatility, this is the grinder to beat. If you want one tool for all roasts or need it to last five years without drama, look elsewhere.
A grind-by-weight workhorse built for cafes that need speed and precision without babysitting a scale, it doses to the tenth of a gram, grinds fast, and won't overheat when you're slammed. Dial-in takes patience and you may need to adjust your espresso machine's temperature to coax the best from the flat burrs, so this isn't a plug-and-play miracle for beginners still figuring out their workflow. If you're pulling one shot a day at home, you're paying commercial money for commercial capability you'll never use, but if you're running a cart or a busy setup, it'll keep up without fuss.
