For brewed coffee you won't do better than the Baratza Virtuoso+. It's cheaper and superior than most brew grinders. Actually, you could upgrade the Encore to the M2 burrs and turn it into an almost-virtuoso.

Get a Baratza Virtuoso+. It's an investment but a significant step up from the Encore and totally worth it. What kind of drip matters, too. I have an Origami for that and am quite happy.

I was in the same shoes as you several years ago. I have the moccamaster, and I bought a Baratza Virtuoso+ - it's been great for darker-roast type coffees, which was what I focused on back then. Baratza customer care is terrific. I then got into espresso, and bought the Encore ESP with single-dose h

I'd look at the Baratza Virtuoso+. I think it's superior to the Ode2, at least for brewed coffee, and it's much cheaper. It's also much easier to clean. Baratza support is clearly better, too.

I'd avoid a Fellow. For less money, you can get a Baratza Virtuoso+, which is much easier to clean and better engineered. Plus, Baratza provides excellent service, while Fellow's is terrible. (I've had both.)

I was recommended the Breville Bambino Plus and the Baratza Encore ESP grinder as a starter setup on this subreddit. However, I saw the Virtuoso+ was also $199 on Amazon and decided to get that instead. So far, I am extremely happy with my setup and homemade coffee. It makes such awesome lattes and

I swear by my Baratza Virtuoso+, and I'm also a FP brewer who favors rich, hearty dark roasts. I looked into the Ode2 and I'm convinced that you will be far better served by your V+. Not only is it at least as good for brewed coffee as the Ode2, but it is considerably cheaper. Baratza support is way
