Espresso Series 1

One major disappointment for ES1 is that the Fellow Drops offer no guidance on what grind setting to use for its own Opus 2 grinder. My expectation was that I buy the drop and its already dialed in with exactly the grind and brew settings so I dont waste beans. But every recipe just says "Start in t

Thank you for this post. I'm a Fellow fan-boy. Been buying there stuff since day 1. My wife and I got the Series 1 - our first espresso machine. We love espresso and a good latte, but never had a machine at home. I feel like we are the target audience for a machine like this. Out of the box volume s

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

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

I had ZERO luck with Gitare AB. Complete waste. It was the most frustrating coffee I have ever tried to dial in. The ES1 profile spit out the same yield no matter what grind I used, and I’ve calibrated my volumetric settings according to fellows recommendations. I think if fellow is going to recomme

Yep it’s gonna take a little bit for the dust to settle. Take EVERYTHING on social media featuring a pictue of this machine with a heaping spoonful of salt for the next little bit. I remember when the Daddy Got Coffee youtube channel reviewed the original Opus grinder shortly after release and the p

Received mine yesterday. Read the two page how to turn me on booklet. I own a Breville Oracle Touch. Which long ago I quit using the built-in grinder. I have gotten it to a science. But for everyone's information I drink one drink a day. And a 14oz. Bag will change across time. Which means continuou

The Gaggimate is absolutely fantastic. The profiling UI is vastly superior to the Meticulous or even the new Fellow Espresso Series 1. Also, the newest GCP's (2026 manufacturing date and later only) are made with lead free brass due to upcoming changes in European law which they are getting prepared

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.
