Fellow is setting a new standard for home espresso machines with the launch of its first-ever espresso machine, the Espresso Series 1. Announced today at a launch at the brand’s headquarters in San Francisco, the Espresso Series 1 features a revolutionary combination of professional precision and intuitive design, delivering café-quality results.

The new espresso machine joins the brand’s lineup alongside the well-known Aiden Precision Coffee Maker, a drip coffee machine known for its sleek aesthetics and exceptional quality. The Espresso Series 1 is designed to make it simple to brew barista-quality espresso for flavorful lattes and cappuccinos. With the tagline “Beginner Friendly, Expert Ready,” Fellow targets have included all the capabilities of a cafe-style espresso machine in a stunningly simple design for home use. From precise temperature control to preset espresso profiles tailored to your coffee, it doesn’t get any smarter than this for a modern espresso maker.

Fellow plans to showcase the sleek new machine this week in Houston at the Specialty Coffee Association Expo. The Espresso Series 1 will be available in three colors that are designed to be a statement piece for your countertop: Black, Cherry Red, and Malted Chocolate, with a price of $1,499.95. However, the machine is available for early pre-order now, but it doesn’t have an exact shipping date. Fellow ensures that those who pre-order now will receive their orders before the holidays, with an estimated launch in Fall 2025. For a limited time, those who are first to reserve the Espresso Series 1 will lock in $300 off future retail pricing and will also receive $100 in Fellow Drops credits to use on coffee.

What is single-origin coffee? The unique advantages of drinking this brew

If you read the label on your coffee bag long enough (and if you haven't read the label on your coffee bag, you really should), you'll find dozens of different terms that make up what I like to call "coffee lingo." Single-origin coffee is one term you'll want to understand. This coffee term is used only for coffee beans that are sourced from one single location (or origin, as the name implies). Drinking single-origin coffee delivers distinctive flavors, allowing coffee enthusiasts to connect more closely with their coffee. From traceability to complex flavor profiles, here's what makes single-origin coffee unique and some advantages to consider.
What is single-origin coffee?

Clay Parker, SVP of Commodities at Westrock Coffee (the world's largest manufacturer of private-label coffee and tea), shared his thoughts and expertise on this unique type of coffee. According to Parker, "Single-origin coffee is sourced from a single geographic area, which can be a single country, a defined region, or a single farm or cooperative. These beans typically share a similar taste profile that is influenced by the characteristics of the origin from which they are sourced."

Peanut butter coffee: A creamy twist on your favorite brew (and how to make it)
3 variations of peanut butter coffee
Peanut butter

Unlike french vanilla or hazelnut coffee, the term "peanut butter coffee" isn't one you've likely heard often (or at all). I first encountered peanut butter coffee on an Instagram reel where a fellow coffee lover showed a latte brewed into a cup filled with peanut butter. Since I love creamy peanut butter almost as much as I love coffee, it's safe to say the idea of peanut butter coffee intrigued me.

As it turns out, Alex Zapata's variation of peanut butter coffee is only one of the many ways creative coffee lovers use peanut butter and coffee together. If you're as intrigued about this flavor pairing as I am, here are three ways to try peanut butter coffee for yourself.

As an avid coffee drinker, I think whipped coffee is incredible; it even has a unique look.

Whipped coffee almost resembles coffee that has been topped with whipped peanut butter, yet no peanut butter is used in this unique beverage. Instead, this distinctive coffee drink is made with instant coffee, sugar, hot water, and cold milk (or, if you're like me on a low-sugar, low-carb diet, you can swap granulated sugar for a zero-calorie sweetener like monk fruit). You may have heard this drink referred to as a Dalgona coffee, which comes from a Korean sugar candy with a "whipped" appearance.
