Espresso Series 1

I want to ask a tough question that I think would give Nick the opportunity to really address public perception/community concerns: Fellow says that the ES1 went through a rigorous testing process before release, and by all accounts, they did do a testing process. In fact, there was the delay in shi

I preordered the ES1, and ended up cancelling it. Bought a Profitec Move instead. I cancelled because I read a thread on r/Fellowproducts about the Aiden app and software updates. In a nutshell, the Aiden coffee makers get bricked by issues with software updates, and the app is finicky as hell. If t

Your support headaches are the reason I stopped sending my Ode Gen 2 back and forth for repairs (motors keep seizing) and decided to literally toss it off a cliff and replace it with a Sculptor 064S.

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

The fact that they try to answer all the ES1 problems almost immediately vs how they ignore the rest of the discussions kinda show that I don’t need any other products from them besides the fellow stagg ekg pro I have.

This. Plus general scheduler to turn on / off. Heck the fellow kettle has this basic scheduler function. Surprised the es1 didn’t out of the box.

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
