Espresso Series 1

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

I wish they would have offered a white version. Everything else I have from fellow is white but my ES1 is black…if I knew how to do this I would. Nice job 👍🏻

Sounds a lot like my experience with an Aiden. I quite like it even though there are a fair number of people complaining about a fair number of things. I just wish Aiden had all the colors at release as I rather like the green. Though I’m undecided for the ES1 as not buying it from Fellow seems to m

It’s a little crowded on the shelves, but I dig the color dichotomy. Still awaiting the fellow guided tamper and dosing funnel. Without the latter, it’s a l

Yes, still really happy with it. Works great. I got it from df64coffee.com when it first came out with the early purchase discount. I ordered the fellow ES1, so I think this will pair well from a design perspective as well.

I got a chance to play around with one of these at a fellow es1 class. let me tell you, for $200, there is nothing on the market even close to it. the stepless adjustment is maybe a touch too firm, but the action is smooth and its the right balance between dialing in to exactly where you want it, bu

Lots of different ways you can go. For a traditional flat pressure shot, no milk drinks, I would go with a Rancilio Silvia and find one with a PID already installed to avoid temp surfing. If you want a little more room for experimentation, Quick Mill Pop Up or Lucca Tempo (same thing) offers flow co

Flair 58 or Cafelat Robot! Manual espresso is a blast. Alternatively, the Odyssey Argos and Fellow Series 1 machines are a little outside your budget but would look great on your counter.
