Hello All,

I found out that I am much more of a brew coffee lover (aeropress, v60, hario switch) and not so much into espresso. I have a Fiorenzato AllGround right now which has too much retention and is good for both espresso and filter but excels at neither so I am planning to buy a new grinder.

Does anyone have experience with both a Fellow Ode with SSP brew burrs and a Comandante C40? Here in Hungary the C40 would be half the price after the SSP burr upgrade for the Ode and I am wondering if it is worth such a higher price.

Thanks in advance!

I have both grinders. I have a comment in a different post comparing the two. Here:
Don't Travel : Comandante C40/Kinu M47 -> Niche Zero?

They are both really good in terms of taste in the cup. If you are only making coffee at home, I would lean toward the Fellow Ode. The stock burrs of the Ode are good; you do not have to upgrade the burrs to SSP right away. If you buy a new one with the v1.1 burrs, you would be able to grind fine enough for most V60 recipes but not for aeropress.
