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

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

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

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

Quality Concerns For Future Products
Fellow operates in a VERY unique niche. They make products at a price point that always falls under prosumer, yet stands above typical consumer goods - making them a pseudo-luxury product, that’s affordable to most. Same goes for their quality. They look good and clearly aren’t Temu special products

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

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

Espresso machine upgrade suggestions [<$4000]
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
