Espresso Series 1

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

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

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

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

I think if Fellow REALLY wants to make nice with customers, anyone who owns the disastrous Series 1 grinder should get 50% off a Series 2 purchase. That’s the only way I’d stay with Fellow, and not move to another machine.

Look at the new Fellow . Its looks like a Meraki without a grinder. I think it is $1600 usd. https://fellowproducts.com/products/espresso-series-1?currency=USD&variant=45701323554916&utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=Google%20Shopping&stkn=72d27b1fd79b&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=21274260157

Look into the DE1. Will do what you want and then some. Plus a much much better track record than Fellow. You can also buy extended warranty essentially for life. If you aren’t needing that difference in money from micra to ES1, that is. If you are in need of funds you might need to rethink.

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

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

Let's be honest. The Version 1 is very likely to have some issues. You have experienced it with the Aiden. Are you willing to take the risk for the price you are going to get it for? I doubt that the Fellow Espresso Series 1 will be a premium product. They have not been wanting to share the insides
