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

Start Small or Buy Once, Cry Once? [$2500+]

So right now is a good time to start browsing the buy and sell forums/EAF discord. People are starting to get their Zerno Z2 and are going to be parting with the Z1 with multiple burr sets. I saw one the other day for $1300 with 3 burr sets. That leaves $1200 for a new espresso machine. If you can s

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

I managed to score a review of the WPM Primus. Roast me

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

What would you do?

You’re right that I haven’t used an ES1. I have used other Fellow products. I do enjoy what I have but I would also say they’re wildly overpriced for what they are…and the Stagg and Aiden certainly have build quality issues and low repairability for the average consumer. Hopefully the ES1 proves to

Turned my Wendougee Lita into a (poor man's) Decent — v2 with a proper UI

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.

First machine. Decent DE1pro, Meticulous or ECM Purisitika w/flow control? [5,000$]

The Fellow ES1 is probably worth a go. Looks to be very capable, and the price is right.
