Fellow’s Espresso Series 1: A Game-Changer for Coffee Enthusiasts

Fellow introduces its first espresso machine, the Espresso Series 1, blending affordability for baristas with high-end customization and sleek design.

Fellow’s been shaking up the coffee gadget scene with its slick brewers, scales, and grinders—now, they’re diving into espresso with their first-ever machine, the Espresso Series 1. At $1,500, it’s not exactly pocket change, but for espresso aficionados, this might just be the holy grail they’ve been waiting for.

What sets the Series 1 apart? Customization is king here. You’ve got the reins over everything from temperature to pressure, extraction time, and even steaming. And get this: you can craft or download profiles for different beans. (Because let’s face it, not all beans are created equal.) The design? Classic Fellow—clean, with a twist of personality thanks to some shiny stainless steel and wood touches.

Stack it up against the competition, and the Series 1 holds its own. The Meticulous, at $1,350, skimps on a built-in steamer, and the Decent? Well, your wallet will feel that $3,000+ hit. The Series 1? It’s the Goldilocks of espresso machines—just right.

Ease of use is where this machine really shines. A circular screen and a dial that just makes sense? Check. A companion app for the profile nerds? Double check. Plus, with buttons for espresso, steaming, and hot water, it’s like Fellow read our minds. And that temperature-sensing wand? Chef’s kiss.

In the wild, the Series 1 pulled shots with crema so rich you could frame it, perfectly capturing those fruity bean notes. Whether you’re a newbie or a seasoned pro, this machine’s got something for you.

Available in cherry red, malted chocolate, and black, the Series 1 is up for grabs now. Early birds get a sweet deal—$1,200 plus a $100 credit for Fellow’s Drops program. Because what’s a great machine without great beans?
