Was not expecting to see Alex Jones presenting.
When I say “better” what I really mean is “more socially acceptable”.
Carrots are also more socially acceptable than my finger…
If you’re every boss I’ve ever had you just chose the least important item in the list of questions, answer that, and ignore everything else.
I had to wrap mine with rubber bands to hang on to it even without the drill
Try living in the shadow of boomers with no support. We were helpless (okokok; also apathetic). I for one am glad to have the backup of the following generations. Even if each successive generation is more inscrutable to me than the previous.
I’m not familiar with the Capresso Infinity, but I can compare my Fellow Ode 2 with the Baratza Encore I got my mom for Xmas last year. Both were purchased on sale for Black Friday. The Ode I got for $265 and the Encore for $120.
I’m not really a super taster. I don’t think I can tell “muddy” from “clear” without doing a direct side by side comparison. As long as the beans are fresh and not over roasted, I’m basically fine. This was the conclusion I came to after doing James Hoffman’s Great American Taste Test.
So with all that said, what I appreciate feature and design wise with the Ode over the Encore:
- The Ode is much quieter
- The Ode’s anti static technology is a game changer for me. (I would honestly consider going back to preground coffee without this)
- The Ode’s controls are nicer.
- The Ode has less retention (but still more than I’d like)
- The Ode’s design is more pleasing visually (to me)
I know a lot of this is subjective and I also understand a lot of what makes the premium worth it to me is irrelevant to others.
Nope. That’s it. That’s the primary advantage. You can get a better grinder for less if you can forego (or byo) motor.

I basically agree with this…unless they’re a bully who punches down against marginalized folks on a regular basis.
In which case your stinky nappy is up for grabs…
Better than just sticking my finger in the blue cheese dressing tho…
He said himself he doesn’t even know what the charges are.
Personally I’d have asked my lawyer. Probably before 5 weeks of testimony, but definitely before the verdict.
