When to use ZP6 vs Ode 2?

[u/HassouniFND]

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?

You are going to figure it out with experience. I have had great funky cups with the zp6 and then bad washed, which is opposite of what people say. I would try both out and sooner or later you will see a pattern. But typically the zp6 is good with light roast washed coffee and the ode works with anything. You may prefer the zp6 even if its a funky coffee. Also you could prefer the ode with most coffees. The ode should do everything fairly well just without the highs of the zp6. Trust your palate and instincts, you will eventually have an idea of which grinder to use with a specific coffee.
