Quick answer: both standard models are for brewed coffee
Choose Timemore Sculptor 064 if you want its variable-RPM workflow, rotary knocker and filter-focused Turbo burrs. Choose Fellow Ode Gen 2 if you want Fellow's stock Gen 2 Brew Burrs, 31-step adjustment and compact single-dose setup. Want espresso? Compare the separately named Sculptor 064S or an espresso-capable grinder instead.
Amazon links above are product searches, not guaranteed exact listings. Check 064 vs 064S and stock burrs vs optional SSP burrs before purchase.

Purchase checks: 064 and 064S are not interchangeable
Timemore lists the Sculptor 064 with 64 mm Turbo burrs for pour-over. Its 064S uses 64 mm flat burrs for espresso as well as filter brewing. Do not assume a product sold as “064” can dial in espresso. If a retailer omits the letter S, verify the precise model against the box and manufacturer's specification before ordering.
Fellow sells the Ode Gen 2 with Gen 2 Brew Burrs as standard; an SSP-equipped variant is distinct. Do not pay an SSP premium based on an ambiguous title. Fellow also advises that the Ode's motor and burrs are not intended for espresso.

Which one should you choose?
If your priority is filter brewing and you enjoy experimenting with RPM and a rotary knocker, the 064 is worth comparing. If your main priority is a straightforward daily brewed-coffee workflow, consider Ode Gen 2. Neither is the appropriate default if your core requirement is espresso: shortlist a separately verified 064S, Fellow Opus or other espresso-capable model instead.

A practical way to decide between these two filter grinders
Start with the coffee you actually brew. If your daily routine is pour-over, batch drip, or an automatic brewer, prioritize grind consistency for those methods, adjustment workflow, cleaning access, and how much counter space the grinder occupies. Do not choose from an espresso-focused review if you are shopping for the standard filter-oriented version of a grinder.
Model check: Timemore's 064 and 064S should not be treated as interchangeable listings. Confirm the exact model and burr configuration with the seller. For the Ode Gen 2, check the listing's generation and included burrs rather than relying only on the word “Ode.”
Before paying, compare your return window, replacement-part access, noise in your actual living situation, and whether the hopper and cup suit your normal dosing workflow.
