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.

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

[MOD] Inside Scoop - Ask the coffee industry

So.... Anyone here have experience with the latest from Fellow? The espresso series 1? Effectively no one whose opinion can be trusted. They just announced it, so the only people with hands-on experience work for Fellow in developing the machine. I don't think they've even shared sample models with

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

So the temperature sensor on the wand is definitely something I haven't seen before: I would be concerned with accidentally touching the sensor against hot metal, stopping flow of steam. Auto-purging of steam wand when it's in down position is not necessarily something I would want. Pre-infusion / p

Every shot taste a bit sour

Thanks guys for the help, it is very helpful. Bought a bag of cheap medium roast decaf and have some fun. Running out of mugs Here is all the shot I made. I dilute it with 160ml of water. Smaller grind setting number means finer grind. Name grind_setting input_weight time output_weight fellow_profile br
