"I’m really happy with my ode gen 2 If that helps."

"Gotta go Ode Gen 2. I like mine, and the idea that I could get the SSP burrs if I wanted to eventually was enticing."

"Should sneak right within your budget."

"Good grinds, not too expensive, rather quiet and they pretty much fixed the static and the 'hopper' issues."

"The best out of all of them is the Ode Gen 2 with SSP MP burrs, however it’s rather difficult to find due to its popularity."

"Ode gen 2 is an excellent choice."

"At that price range for Pour over you cannot go wrong with the ODE2."

"If you can, stretch to timemore 078."

"Timemore 078 would be best before diminishing returns."
