As someone who works from home, a good cup of coffee is an essential part of my morning routine. But for years, my coffee ritual came with a downside: noise. If you’ve...
If you care about good coffee, you know the grinder matters. A lot.
After testing plenty of options, I’ve landed on two electric grinders I use and love, one for home, one for travel.
This isn’t a long list. Just the two best electric grinders I actually recommend for real life.
For Home: Fellow Ode Gen 2
If you want café-quality coffee at home, the Fellow Ode Gen 2 is hard to beat.
I use it daily. It’s quiet, fast, and delivers a consistent grind that brings out the best in your beans—especially for pour-over, drip, and French press.
Why I love it:
-
Super consistent grind size
-
Easy to dial in for V60 or Moccamaster
-
Feels premium and looks great on the counter
-
The Gen 2 burrs bring even more clarity and sweetness to lighter roasts
For Travel: OutIn Fino Portable Electric Coffee Grinder
I recently picked up the OutIn Fino, and it’s been a game changer for my travel and camping. Taking it camping this weekend to Hawaii Volcano National Park. Might have to see how it performs next to an active volcano, ha.
This thing is USB-C rechargeable, compact, and actually grinds well. Perfect when you’re off-grid but still want a legit cup of coffee.
Why I bring it:
-
Grinds 20–30g at once.
-
No cranking like a hand grinder, and it is really quiet.
-
Small enough for carry-on or camping kit
-
Surprisingly consistent for a portable unit.
I pair it with my metal V60 and I’m set anywhere, beach mornings, campgrounds, hotel rooms.
Final Verdict
If you’re serious about coffee, you probably need both:
They complement each other perfectly, no compromise, wherever you’re brewing.
Want to upgrade your beans too?
I use Trade Coffee for fresh, small-batch roasts delivered to my door (or mailbox while traveling). You can get 50% off your first order.
