If your dad uses an AeroPress or French press every morning but still buys coffee pre-ground, it’s time for an upgrade. We like this option by Fellow (which we have written about a lot).
Much like Fellow’s electric kettle and travel mug, the grinder is a very handsome object. Strategist writer Kat Gillespie says the Ode’s aesthetic is undeniably part of the appeal. “It’s more like a design object than my old Baratza,” she says. “It’s really very impressive-looking on any counter, even my NYC landlord-special one.”
Besides looking nice, it works well. Gillespie says she especially appreciates how easy it is to grind for a single cup: The lid doubles as a volumetric measuring device, so instead of having to weigh out beans each time, as the Ode requires, she simply fills to a specific marking.
The Strategist is designed to surface the most useful, expert recommendations for things to buy across the vast e-commerce landscape.
