Description
Precision Espresso Without The Guesswork
Most home espresso machines force a choice: forgiving simplicity or serious control. The Fellow Espresso Series 1 refuses that trade-off, pairing a heated commercial-style grouphead with guided software so Indian home brewers and small café counters can pull consistent, café-quality shots from day one.
Built Around Boosted Boiler™ Architecture
A three-element heating system separates brewing and steaming duties instead of forcing one boiler to do both. An inline flow-through heater works alongside a dedicated boiler, so the machine reaches brewing temperature fast and holds it steady even when you switch straight from a shot to steamed milk.
Thermal Stability, On Demand
- Three-element system: inline flow-through heater plus dedicated boiler
- Two-minute warm-up from a cold start
- Stable temperature when switching between brew and steam
- Brass-core, actively heated grouphead with integrated water dispersion block
What Sets The Series 1 Apart
Precise Pressure Profiling
Programmable pressure control manages pre-infusion and extraction, improving clarity and sweetness while staying forgiving of small variances in puck prep.
Assisted Milk Steaming
A temperature-sensing steam wand halts automatically at your target milk temperature for consistent microfoam without scalding.
Intelligent Shot Feedback
Built-in extraction analysis flags speed issues and suggests grind adjustments, shortening the dial-in curve.
Guided & Manual Modes
On-screen recipes walk beginners through classic drinks; full manual mode hands seasoned baristas every brewing variable.
Commercial-Style Grouphead
A brass-core, actively heated grouphead with an integrated water dispersion block delivers stable heat directly to the puck.
App Connectivity
iOS and Android app support for profile management and firmware updates keeps the machine current long after purchase.

Home Bar Or Café Counter
On a home counter, guided on-screen recipes and automatic milk steaming remove the trial-and-error usually associated with dialling in espresso.
On a small café bar, manual mode and programmable pressure profiling give an experienced barista direct control over pre-infusion, pressure, and extraction, while the two-minute warm-up keeps service moving between the morning rush and slower hours.
Frequently Asked Questions
How often does the Series 1 need descaling?
Indian tap water varies widely in hardness. Use the included water hardness test strip to check yours, then follow the on-screen descaling prompts with the supplied descaler and backflush tablets.
What is the maximum water tank capacity?
The removable tank holds 2.0 litres and includes a min-fill sensor that alerts you before it runs dry mid-shot.
Does it work with any coffee grinder?
Yes. The Series 1 uses a standard 58mm portafilter and ships with both single-wall and pressurized double shot baskets, so it pairs with most quality burr grinders producing espresso-fine grounds.
How does the assisted milk steaming work?
A temperature-sensing steam wand tracks your milk in real time and stops automatically at your target temperature, removing the guesswork from microfoam.
Can I use it without the guided recipes?
Yes. A full manual mode exposes every brewing variable, including pressure, temperature, and flow, for baristas who want complete control.
Who The Series 1 Is Built For
This is a machine for Indian home brewers moving beyond capsule machines and for small café counters that need commercial-style consistency without a plumbed, full-size setup. Guided modes flatten the learning curve; manual mode and pressure profiling reward the barista who wants to push further.
