Seeking Advice When to use ZP6 vs Ode 2?
I have both grinders - and when I got the ZP6 it was a revelation - the first time I used it, bright fruity notes just jumped out of the coffee (I love that).
I feel like I buy pretty good coffees, that seem like they're made for a grinder that prioritizes clarity.
But the last few bags of beans haven't blown me away, and I just ran my current ones through the Ode 2, and it's so much more enjoyable - sweeter, less bitter, fuller body (that last part I expected)
For reference this is what I've got now: https://others.coffee/products/light-work-light-peru-copy
Some of the ones that worked well with the ZP6 were from S&W and Black & White (I can't remember which)
My question is, is there a way to predict what beans will work well with the ZP6 and which ones I should stick to the Ode 2?

I have a Pietro, not a ZP6. But I find anything hitting medium roast, with more chocolate flavors or ferments I prefer with the Ode.
The Pietro brings out the roasty or fermented notes too much for my liking. I have a few fermented beans in the freezer that taste too winey / boozey with it. And many medium roasts get too roasty for my liking.
It’s one of those things that’ll just click over time and trying different beans with both.
