Espresso Series 1

I want to ask a tough question that I think would give Nick the opportunity to really address public perception/community concerns: Fellow says that the ES1 went through a rigorous testing process before release, and by all accounts, they did do a testing process. In fact, there was the delay in shi

I preordered the ES1, and ended up cancelling it. Bought a Profitec Move instead. I cancelled because I read a thread on r/Fellowproducts about the Aiden app and software updates. In a nutshell, the Aiden coffee makers get bricked by issues with software updates, and the app is finicky as hell. If t

I have been hesitant to consider the ES1 (after seeing loud voices re: the Aiden). The response here now has me considering it. Things will always break. Service should not, and it seems Fellow is on it.

As a micra (office) and de1 (home) I wouldn’t trade the micra for a es1. My main gripe with it is the creator said it’s designed to never be opened or service and should only need a Descale. All machines and components will fail with time, and the fellow can ve opened and replaced. And if you know a

Anecdotal data point. I would have sold my Lelit Bianca and bought the Espresso Series 1 asap if my Aiden experience wasn’t as bad. Such a fragile design is already unacceptable for a $350 machine and I currently don’t trust Fellow with a $1000+ machine.

I've preordered and received my Fellow ES1 before meticulous could even tell me what spot in line I am. (Probably because my spot keeps getting moved back because meticulous loves screwing their backers. ) I've already assumed my money is lost. What a joke of a company

The fact that they try to answer all the ES1 problems almost immediately vs how they ignore the rest of the discussions kinda show that I don’t need any other products from them besides the fellow stagg ekg pro I have.

Interesting. Yeah I have to admit this revelation has made me re consider keeping the fellow ES1 pre order too. I’m glad I didn’t cancel it because up until a few days ago I had made up my mind on the micra.

It really should. This is why you will see lots of Fellow ES1 owners. A lot of people would take a “potentially inferior” product that they can walk in a purchase from a store that they trust.

Man I have been seeing a flood of posts about how Fellow products just break or do not work. Grinders spilling, groupheads not producing water or water not being the right temp as advertised. I was considering buying the ES1 because its a beautiful looking machine but all of these reviews give me pa
