I have an Fellow Ode that produces ample fines.  I was hoping it would be better on that front than it is, but it sounds like I am unlikely to be willing to spend for a grinder that will produce fewer fines.

 

I do see the impact in my pourover (30 grams in a 2-cup V-60).  But for me the impact is in how long it takes my 500 grams of water to move through the coffee bed.  My response has been using a cheap sifter from Amazon.  I sift a good portion of the fines off (usually about 2 grams) then proceed with my coffee making, which I still have to pull off the cup at my preferred time to avoid off flavors. 

 

I will also note that I prefer rather light roasts.  My observations suggest super light roasts produce more fines in my grinder than roasts closer to medium.   This is not absolute,  but is a strong trend.
