Espresso Series 1

Love mine, but I did get the extended warranty (new product, not sure how it will hold up). Some small(ish) known issues though... Volumetric mode is set badly out of the box and needs adjustment if you want to use it (I don't, so it's just off anyway), there's a fair amount of water waste at startu

Depending on your wife’s preferences, there may be a disconnect between you two. I assume she wants a machine that can easily produce an espresso shot. As you upgrade to a better machine with features like flow control and PID, the ceiling for espresso increases, but floor is lower. Therefore, unles

I have had the Fellow ES1 for over a month now. Zero issues. I have specific profiles for different beans which I really like. I generally buy from local roasters (I live in NYC so I guess I have that advantage) and I can tell you my espressos come out just as good as those from the coffee shops. If

Depends. Are you a machine nerd? It needs initial calibration when you get it. If you don’t do that, you’re toast already. After that, the machine is a chameleon - it can mimic most other machines on the market - pre-infusion, ramp up, ramp down, custom temp and pressure and much more. You can save

I wish they would have offered a white version. Everything else I have from fellow is white but my ES1 is black…if I knew how to do this I would. Nice job 👍🏻

I’d definitely be interested in this! The idea of a database of crowdsourced ES1 shot profiles outside of what Fellow provides is exciting! Just hope that the update to the app is pushed out soon…

I am very tempted by this machine, and seeing people like yourself doing things like this makes me even more excited. With the Wendougee Lita and what Fellow has done with the Series 1, all of the advanced features are becoming available for the masses.

If you're looking at the Fellow ES1, have you considered the WPM Primus? Much better build quality, and fairly programmable.

If you want to get the most out of your light to medium-light beans, the Fellow ES1 and Decent are the two clear winners. If anyone tells you that pre-infusion and flow control don't make a difference for light roasts, they don't know what they're talking about. I owned a Decent before buying a Mini

The Fellow ES1 is probably worth a go. Looks to be very capable, and the price is right.
