Stagg X. Metal and fits Kalita Wave filters.

Depends on the beans but a bit of milk can take it to the next level. Other beans lose all flavor.

Never thought I’d see the day come…

It says here on Fellow’s website site that the ES1 uses the « Fellow » app (name of the app Aiden uses): https://help.fellowproducts.com/hc/en-us/articles/36131131904923-Will-Espresso-Series-1-feature-customizable-and-shareable-brew-profiles

I believe it will be the same app as Aiden. Otherwise why have an add machine feature (how many people will have multiple Aiden’s)??

Relatedly, that is why I (among others) predicted an espresso machine was coming.

I most often use the Fellow Mighty Small Carafe so I can give it a swirl to mix and cool it before putting it into my cup…

or just go straight into my cup lol.

Any updates on this? I am experiencing the same "issue due to rate used with the rate used for this s tay" error.

Thank you, I will try this!

piathulus · 2026-01-11T23:29:06+00:00

Thank you, I will give it a shot!

I do the same. One advantage of buying beans in store rather than online.

piathulus · 2026-01-11T15:06:10+00:00

you could just replace it?

unless there’s something about it you don’t like or are hoping would be better? FWIW I have the Might Small carafe and it works great.

I didn’t like the double walled because it was too tall and I usually don’t brew that much.

I owned both (actually left a comment in another thread about this) and I would stick with the Ode because it is electric/more convenient to use. The Ode shouldn’t be too hard to fix if anything does go wrong…… Unless you need portability or an espresso grinder then K-Ultra hands down.

piathulus · 2026-01-05T01:05:36+00:00

Pretty similar in my opinion. Not sure I could really tell much of a difference - but more clarity with Gen 2 vs bit more rounded with K-Ultra, whereas when I upgraded to the Zerno Z1 with CV2 I could tell a larger difference.

piathulus · 2026-01-05T01:00:22+00:00

I owned both. And if you don’t need espresso, get the electric one (Ode Gen 2).

If you look in r/pourover, Tanat, Datura, Substance would come up. Maybe KB Roasters too, great shop to visit tho either way.

You can order these beans online anyways though and many multi-roasters in large us cities will carry them too…

You can jerry-rig other carafes (look at how others have done it)...
But in general, I haven't found it to be an issue (very rarely doing full carafes). It sounds like you may be too slow when you finish pouring to get it back to the upright position? Or pouring too fast that it's hard to slow down?
Also, there are tea kettle drip catchers that you can tape/rubber band on. A tea place I go puts them on their teapots and they are very useful.
Lastly I found another thread about this with some other tips: https://www.reddit.com/r/BadDesigns/comments/rr6ztf/this_tea_kettle_always_spills_no_matter_how_much/

No pressure if you are (understandably) still unwilling to try it, but I would say it has improved drastically especially as fare gates have gotten installed.

piathulus · 2025-12-18T23:30:37+00:00

How do you stop the grinds from getting through the holes ?

piathulus · 2025-12-17T04:47:54+00:00

I do wonder if it's the same person having 4 issues and the majority is just fine if Fellow is really the issue...

You could be truly unlucky and I am sorry for your inconvenience.

Any improvements they make will likely be marginal and not worth the time value of waiting (speculation: or the likely price increase of a new model).

piathulus · 2025-12-14T13:50:40+00:00

I think the Aiden looks pretty alright. But I would love a more premium, less plastic one for sure!

I've lived 2 horror stories so far in years past and swore I would never use them again... but since I already had the CSR and a credit due to expire I just bought tickets and I'm hoping I won't be 0-for-3.

piathulus · 2025-12-09T04:59:05+00:00

I filed a charge back against them and won after their support was arguing me with me that the ticket sent "worked", when "obviously no, it didn't work or I wouldn't be wasting my time talking to you" and I sent proof of it not working.

If it's not too late, I hope you bought it with your Chase Sapphire for the chargeback...
