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

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 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.

Short answer (my opinion): If you are more traditional or casual with your espresso then go with the Ascaso. If you are more creative or like to experiment with your espresso then get the Fellow ES1. Long answer (my reasoning): I’ve had the ascaso for 6 years now and it still makes excellent espress
