Precision espresso. Your way.

Espresso machine with control that grows with you

Discover Fellow Espresso Series 1 - an espresso machine that does more than just brew. This thoughtfully designed home espresso machine combines guided brewing for beginners with in-depth control for experienced home baristas, in a format that feels as premium as it is functional.

Whether you’re pulling your first truly serious shot or fine-tuning pressure, temperature, and pre-infusion to take your espresso journey further, Series 1 delivers precision, feedback, and confidence at every step. For those looking to buy an espresso machine with real room to grow, this is an exceptionally strong choice.

One machine. Two ways to brew.

Many machines are either simplified for beginners or built almost exclusively for enthusiasts. Fellow Espresso Series 1 excels at both, and you’ll notice it right away in the workflow.

With a single press, you can switch between Beginner Mode and Expert Mode, so the machine adapts to your experience, technique, and ambitions. If you want to build a coordinated coffee station, you can also explore more Fellow machines and accessories in the same clean design.

Beginner Mode

For those who want to make really good espresso at home without feeling unsure from the start.

• Guided brewing in real time makes every step clear, calm, and easy to follow
• Optimized extraction profiles help you achieve balanced shots with sweetness, body, and a distinct café feel
• Smart tips right on the screen make it easier to understand what affects the flavor in your cup
• Automatic shot timer and ongoing feedback deliver more consistent results, from your first cup in the morning to your last in the evening
• Step-by-step milk frothing guidance makes it much easier to master cappuccinos, lattes, and flat whites
• Designed to feel accessible even if you’re completely new to the world of espresso

Expert Mode

For those who want to control the details themselves and shape every shot with greater precision.

• Full manual control over brewing parameters gives you the freedom to experiment without unnecessary restrictions
• Customizable pressure profiling lets you create more nuanced, personal extractions
• Adjustable temperature from 50°C to 95°C allows better customization for different beans, roast levels, and recipes
• Fine-tune pre-infusion flow and extraction dynamics to influence body, clarity, sweetness, and aftertaste
• Monitor and analyze the shot in real time for greater consistency and faster progress
• Save and repeat your own recipes once you’ve found a profile that really works

Boosted Boiler™ technology

At the heart of Series 1 is Fellow’s innovative Boosted Boiler™ system.

Three independent heating elements work together to provide fast warm-up and highly stable temperatures during both brewing and steaming. The machine is ready to brew in two minutes or less, which makes a big difference in everyday use when you want high performance without a long wait.

This is especially noticeable when you brew several shots in a row and want every extraction to feel as controlled, clean, and predictable as the first.

Pressure profiling for better espresso

Series 1 brings advanced pressure profiling into the home kitchen in a way that feels serious, inspiring, and practically useful.

By adjusting the pressure throughout the extraction, you can bring out more sweetness, greater clarity, and more depth in the coffee. Whether you enjoy classic espresso with a full body or want to explore light roasts and more expressive profiles, you’ll have the tools you need to make a real difference to the result.

You can create and save your own brew recipes or continue working with ready-made profiles. If you’re comparing different premium home espresso machines, this is a model that clearly rewards those who want to improve over time.

Intelligent shot feedback

The built-in shot analysis helps you understand what’s happening in the cup as you brew.

If the shot runs too fast or too slowly, you’ll get clear guidance for your next attempt. It saves time, reduces guesswork, and makes dialing in much more accurate, especially when you change beans or try new recipes.

Assisted milk frothing

The temperature-sensing steam wand helps you create fine, silky microfoam with a better feel and greater control.

It makes a big difference when you want to serve cappuccino, flat white, or latte with a smooth texture and more precise results. Practicing latte art is also more fun when steaming feels stable and is easier to gauge.

It works just as well with regular milk as with many plant-based alternatives. One honest thing to keep in mind is that this is a machine for those who enjoy hands-on brewing and want to be involved in the process, not for those looking for a fully automatic, one-button solution.

Designed for everyday use

Series 1 combines premium-class performance with a clean, architectural design that fits beautifully in modern kitchens.

The compact format, clear color screen, removable water tank, and workflow built around the commercial-standard 58 mm make the machine both practical and inspiring to use every day. If you’d like to compare more espresso machines for espresso and specialty coffee, this is an option with a distinctly premium feel and a strong visual presence.

Available colors

Choose the finish that best elevates your coffee corner and complements the rest of your kitchen.

The Fellow difference

The Fellow Espresso Series 1 is more than an ordinary espresso machine. We see it as a carefully designed platform for developing your technique, understanding of flavor, and workflow at home over time.

Fellow focuses on brewing equipment where design, precision, and performance work together. The result is a tool that gives experienced users control while remaining approachable and educational for those still building their routine.

Care instructions

The Series 1 is designed to be easy to live with, even between brews. The removable water tank is easy to fill and clean at the sink, and the removable drip tray has a maximum fill indicator to help you avoid spills and keep your countertop tidy.

There’s a handy storage area for cleaning tools under the machine, and the package includes a steam wand tip cleaner, backflush disc, water hardness test strip, and descaling and backflush tablets. One thing to note is that it doesn’t come with a detailed step-by-step maintenance plan.
