Feels a bit cheap

Reviewers are mostly split on the Fellow Espresso Series 1: its precise, customizable brewing earns praise for taste and steam, but concerns about build quality and finicky controls temper enthusiasm. The machine's adjustable pressure profiling and reliable presets let enthusiastic home baristas pull consistently delicious shots, and its steam wand is long enough for easy latte art, with a simple startup for beginners. However, critics note the plastic build feels cheap at the price, the app and interface feel unfinished or clunky, and some owners report inconsistent water pressure and shot volumes that undermine the premium experience.
