Includes a 2-year standard warranty.
- Easy controls and intuitive display – Three piano-key buttons make it simple to brew, steam, or dispense hot water. A full-color LCD screen with a navigation dial provides clear feedback and complete control over settings.
- Precision temperature control – A patented Boosted Boiler system with three independent heating elements delivers precise temperature stability, a warm-up time of two minutes or less, and a heated group head for improved extraction.
- True consistency with pressure profiling – Dial in every detail of your espresso, from pressure and temperature to flow rate, then save your favorite settings for future use. Choose from preset profiles tailored to different roasts or replicate the results of commercial machines with remarkable consistency.
- Assisted steaming – The temperature-sensing steam wand automatically stops at your target temperature, purges itself after use, and can be customized for dairy or alternative milks. Latte art feels less intimidating and more repeatable.
- Intelligent shot feedback – Not sure which grind setting to use? If the machine detects a shot pulling too quickly or too slowly, it will suggest ways to improve your grind.
- Connected app and profile sharing – Use the companion app to upload recipes, download profiles from roasters and other espresso enthusiasts, or share your own. Your saved settings sync seamlessly between the machine and app, making it easy to experiment, refine, and repeat. Available for iOS and Android, with automatic updates to keep your machine performing at its best.

Frequently asked questions
From a cold start, Espresso Series 1 is ready to brew or steam in about two minutes. Once heated, switching between pulling a shot and steaming milk is nearly instant, allowing you to move seamlessly from espresso to cappuccino without waiting.
Espresso Series 1 features our patented Boosted Boiler™ technology, designed to deliver the thermal stability of a commercial dual-boiler machine without the long heat-up time.
Instead of relying on one large boiler, Series 1 uses three independently controlled heating elements working together:
- A low thermal mass heater
- A mini boiler
- An independently heated group head
Water flows through each component in sequence, creating a stable “thermal bank” that delivers precise temperature control and consistent flow to the puck, similar to a commercial espresso machine.
Because it is technically a single-boiler machine, Espresso Series 1 cannot pull a shot and steam milk simultaneously. However, thanks to our patented Boosted Boiler™ technology, you can move from pulling a shot to steaming milk within seconds once the machine is fully heated.
Espresso Series 1 features a built-in hot water spout hidden beneath the group head. This allows you to dispense hot water instantly at your selected temperature and volume.
Whether you’re preparing tea or an Americano, Espresso Series 1 has you covered.
Intelligent Shot Feedback provides built-in guidance for better espresso extraction. If your shot runs too quickly or too slowly, the machine will suggest grind adjustments to help you dial in your espresso more easily.
Assisted Steaming simplifies milk texturing by reducing guesswork and making cleanup easier. The temperature-sensing steam wand:
- Automatically stops at your target temperature
- Auto-purges after use
- Can be customized for different milk types
An espresso profile is a set of brewing parameters — including temperature, pressure, and flow — that determines how water interacts with coffee during extraction.
On Espresso Series 1, profiles are designed around roast levels (light, medium, and dark) to provide a reliable starting point. Each profile automatically adjusts brewing behavior to match the selected coffee style.
Customers can use preset profiles for simplicity or customize and save their own profiles for greater control.
Yes. You can create and edit custom espresso profiles directly on the machine or through the Fellow app.
Adjustable variables include:
- Brewing: Pressure, temperature, and flow during pre-infusion, infusion, and ramp-down
- Steaming: Custom temperature settings or preset milk options
- Hot Water: Adjustable temperature and volume
Yes, Espresso Series 1 can remain powered on for extended periods. However, because it heats up in just two minutes, we recommend turning it off when not in use.
Boosted Boiler™ technology maintains thermal stability without overheating or requiring cooling flushes, unlike traditional heat exchanger systems.
Like any espresso machine, regular maintenance helps keep Espresso Series 1 performing at its best.
Backflushing
Backflushing removes built-up coffee oils from the group head and internal components to maintain consistent flavor and prevent clogs.
You will need:
- A backflush disc
- A cleaning tablet or espresso machine detergent
The process takes approximately five minutes and helps extend the life of your machine.
For step-by-step instructions, customers can reference Fellow’s Backflushing Guide on our website.
Shower Screen Cleaning
The shower screen sits beneath the group head and helps distribute water evenly over the coffee puck.
Over time, oils and fine coffee grounds can build up, potentially affecting extraction and flavor. We recommend periodically removing and cleaning the shower screen.
A complete cleaning walkthrough is available on Fellow’s website.
Descaling
Descaling removes limescale — mineral buildup that naturally forms inside the machine as water is heated.
Over time, scale buildup can restrict water flow and reduce heating efficiency. Regular descaling helps keep Espresso Series 1 running smoothly.
Use a liquid espresso machine descaler and follow the prompts in the Maintenance section of the Series 1 menu.
Yes. Espresso Series 1 is BPA- and PFAS-free and built with premium, food-safe materials throughout. Every material is carefully selected to support long-term performance, safety, and a premium feel.
