The fuel espresso Series 1 is $200 off for Amazon Prime Day 2026. This is the first time any kind of discount has been offered — and honestly, I’m surprised it’s happening so soon, especially given such a generous price cut
Fellow makes easy-to-use products that please nerds: which is why I tend to like the brand’s products. I pay tribute to Espresso Fellow Series 1 (8/10, WIRED Recommends) As a game-changer when it came out earlier this year, it’s the kind of machine that changes what latte lovers expect from a home espresso machine. It’s actually mine Favorite espresso machine Momentary for the home consumer, a beautiful blend of power and ease.
That’s because this is the first espresso maker I’ve seen at an accessible price that lets you play with compression and shot profiles — and makes it very easy to do so — rather than just pressing 15 bars of pressure on the dial and using a stopwatch.
Series 1 offers easy-to-select preset pressure profiles for light, medium or dark beans. A “leverage” option with six infusion stages helps mimic the heavy syrup and crema texture of a manual espresso machine. Wild, and not bitter Turbo shots Also possible.
This type of functionality was not previously available for less than $5,000. For the next three days, the price starts at $1,300 instead.
None of this matters unless the espresso tastes good, and if it is easy to use even for those who have never thought about pressure levels even once in their lives. The companion sails through this test. It offers great temperature stability with short warm-up times (2 minutes), and the automatic milk frother available with the best semi-automatic machines available.
You will still need Good espresso grinder– I tend to recommend Orchard Encore ESP ($200) On Fellow’s previous generation Opus grinder for easier adjustments. But that said, a colleague has just released a new one Opus mill 2 Same price which I haven’t tested yet. You’ll also need a good amount of counter space of more than 20 inches if you prefer to remove your water tank to fill, rather than using a jug or kettle. Volumetric controls remain less than ideal, according to most reports, as Fellow is working on a firmware fix, so your espresso shot may run a few milliliters lower.
But it’s still the most powerful and customizable espresso machine I know for its price, and it’s a machine that begs most other machines even when it’s not on sale. A number of other leading Fellow products Also on sale for 20 percent off on Prime Day. Here are some other great deals for Amazon Prime Day.
Before the espresso machine existed, there was Aiden’s colleague (8/10, WIRED recommends). This was also a game-changer for drip coffee, allowing for easy presets or customization of every parameter you could think of for a coffee bean… including the altitude at which you brew it. WIRED contributing reviewer Pete Cottelle was blown away when it came out in 2024. It’s on sale for that price about a few times a year. If it’s on your list, now is a good time to buy it.
And here it is, boiler This is on the desk of every lover I know. It’s also on mine. It’s beautiful, it’s small, it heats up quickly, and it’s so programmable. It makes my kitchen feel like a better kitchen for having me there. Of all the many coffee makers Fellow produces, this is the one I would absolutely hate to part with.
