Continue to wait for fellow espresso series one, or move on to something else? [$3,500]

Reliability of Series 1 is our number 1 priority. The reason for the shift in mass production was so that we didn't need to make the machine get a performance hit to meet our goals. We accelerate life test everything to meet a MINIMUM 5 year bar (this doesn't mean the product breaks after 5 years, i

Espresso Series 1 owners, be aware that volumetric mode is turned on by default…

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

Rate my **FOR DISPLAY ONLY** setup

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

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

$400 Gaggia CP vs $900 Fellow S1 [$1000 budget]

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

What's going on with Drops? Getting iffy.

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

Does anyone know if the Pesado High Diffusion Espresso Shower Screen fits the Fellow ES1?

Sorry, I don’t, hopefully Fellow will reply. I’ve preordered my ES1 here in the UK and am quite excited and looking forward to delivery (Summer). I’m interested to know if Fellow think it needs an upgrade. I’d like to think that the design process has taken this in to consideration. My current machi

La Marzocco linea micra vs decent espresso vs wait for fellow espresso series 1 [$4500]

Fellow Series 1 could be a great value for the money, or it could be a total bust. AFAIK, no independent reviewer has used it outside of a demo that was carefully orchestrated by Fellow. But if you believe in the adage "you get what you pay for", FS1 is highly unlikely to perform in the same league

Fellow ES1 vs WPM Primus [2000€]

I have watched a ton of Fellow ES1 videos, reviews and reddit, and while waiting for the preorder to start, someone told me about WPM Primus and I was instantly sold. Now I got it for about 7 months and can't find a reason to dislike it. Why I would avoid the fellow - there are a lot of negative exp
