Espresso Series 1

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.

Espresso Series 1 owner here. Prior machine was a La Pavoni, moving to the Series 1 is like entering a different universe. I concur with the OP's review and would add the insanely fast heat up time was the biggest seller for me. I don't have meaningful criticisms but I do have concerns; us owners ar

lol this thing always getting hate on here. I preordered mine as soon as I saw it mostly because of how great the Aiden has been for us. My first espresso machine was a vintage dual switch La Pavoni Europiccola. Bought it on eBay in 2018. It’s the only espresso machine I’ve ever owned. I learned how

Looks like a really cool machine. I’m a series 1 pre order customer. This is actually making me think twice, but the fellow at my price point was 2/3rd the price of this machine (without considering shipping to US). The gear pump and direct plumb capability are awesome. I like the form factor overal

I’ll say first that I don’t think there’s really a BIFL espresso machine. A $400 workhorse is great but when it does have an issue and you gotta spend hours working on it (espresso-less) or buying specialty parts to remedy issues that are known right out of the box you can end up spending $900 in 6
