what a new unit needed firsttwo owners

  • out-of-the-box, it was not Zeroed (not even close)

    a new unit arrived with the burrs nowhere near zero and had to be calibrated before it ground properly

    the same post recommends checking the zero point before the grinder is first switched on

  • My burr touch was (clockwise turn) 1 inch below 0 on the dial

    on one unit the burrs met well below the dial's zero mark, which is how far the factory setting was out

Your counter decides it.

If the counter is tight: the Ode Brew Grinder Gen 2. If you have the height: the DF64 Gen 2 Single Dose Coffee.

Between 9.8 in (24.8 cm) and 11.8 in (30 cm) only the Ode Brew Grinder Gen 2 clears. At 11.8 in (30 cm) or more the height decides nothing, and under 9.8 in (24.8 cm) neither of them fits. (retailer)

We are not picking one. Your counter picks it, and yours is the measurement missing from this page.

Measure from the counter to the highest point, with any lid or hopper closed.
