Introduction
This video is a reaction and review of Fellow's new Espresso Series 1 espresso machine. The speaker discusses the machine's features, design, and price, offering his initial impressions and observations.
Key Takeaways
Boosted Boiler System: The machine uses a "boosted boiler" system with three heating elements in series for faster warm-up (two minutes or less) and temperature stability. It uses thermojet technology, similar to Sage/Breville machines.
Single Boiler, Not Dual Boiler: Despite the fast heating, it's a single boiler system; brewing and steaming cannot occur simultaneously.
Circular Display and Piano Buttons: The machine features a circular display (which the speaker finds less preferable to a square display) and piano-style buttons. The speaker suggests a firmware update to add a "hold-to-back" function for navigation.
Espresso Profiling: Allows users to set pressure, flow rate, and duration profiles for customized espresso extraction.
Price: The starting price is $1200 (black model), with color options costing an additional $100. Prices are expected to increase by $300 later. The speaker questions whether the price is justified by the features.
