Fellow's single-dose brew grinder with 64mm stainless steel flat burrs, 31 grind settings, a 100g hopper, auto-stop and an improved anti-static system. Filter-coffee fans praise its grind quality and far tidier workflow than the Gen 1, but it can't do espresso and owners report chute clogging, static creep and calibration fuss.
