Fellow coffee equipment
Fellow is a San Francisco design-led coffee equipment company founded in 2013. The lineup is built around aesthetics-first hardware for pour-over and filter coffee — variable-temperature kettles, flat-burr filter grinders, and brewing accessories — with a smaller espresso footprint than competitors at adjacent prices.
The Ode Gen 2 is the filter grinder anchor — a 64mm flat-burr grinder designed specifically for brewed coffee (not espresso). The Opus moves to all-purpose burrs that can grind espresso-fine, though espresso-focused users typically prefer dedicated espresso grinders for retention and adjustment precision.
The Stagg EKG is the variable-temperature kettle most commonly cited by pour-over users in our catalog. The brewing fundamentals — gooseneck spout geometry and 1-degree temperature control — overlap with kettles from Brewista and OXO, but the Stagg uses a more compact 0.9L capacity tuned for single-server brewing.

Frequently Asked Questions
Where is Fellow coffee equipment made?
Fellow designs in San Francisco; manufacturing is contracted out to factories in China, which is standard for the consumer coffee accessories category. The brand has not publicly committed to specific factory partners.
Is Fellow coffee equipment worth the price?
For users who value industrial design and small-batch pour-over workflows, Fellow products tend to price at a modest premium over functionally comparable alternatives (Brewista kettles, Baratza filter grinders). For users prioritizing pure brewing performance per dollar, the alternatives often match or exceed the Fellow equivalent.
How does the Fellow Ode Gen 2 compare to the Baratza Encore?
The Ode Gen 2 uses 64mm flat burrs vs the Encore conical burrs and costs roughly 3x more. The Ode targets users who want flat-burr clarity in filter coffee and are willing to pay for the larger burr surface area. The Encore remains the entry-tier reference at its price point.
What's the entry-level Fellow product?
The Opus is the entry-tier grinder; the Stagg EKG is the entry-tier kettle in the Fellow lineup. Fellow does not currently sell sub-$100 brewers or grinders.
