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

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.

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

Granted I was already too deep in with Fellow products when I preordered Aiden, but I view the silver lining of Aiden, its release, and post-release support as making me unwilling to buy another Fellow product again as I would have been the target audience and have preordered the ES1. Aiden made tha

You’re right that I haven’t used an ES1. I have used other Fellow products. I do enjoy what I have but I would also say they’re wildly overpriced for what they are…and the Stagg and Aiden certainly have build quality issues and low repairability for the average consumer. Hopefully the ES1 proves to
