Just learnt that if you brew assist 1:42 a video game “jumpy” appears. 🎮
I was just about to ask!
I like fellow's products, but man i really can't justify a coffee-specific scale for $185.
Thanks for watching!
Agreed. It's more than double the price of most scales...
I love their products too and I agree… I’ll wait for a sale. I already purchased their latest grinder, studio edition kettle, & Carter Cold tumbler this year. 😂 Btw, excellent review, Kyle!
Acaia: hold my pour over brew
It’s their innovation. Appreciate the r&d and design that goes into the final product. I’m willing to pay more, just like I did with the pearl and lunar.
Thank you so much for sharing our Katze! In addition to Aries, we'll continue to develop even more super cool stuff that helps with the brewing workflow ! Hope everyone can keep following us!
You should really try the MHW-3Bomber smart scale that show the ratio as you pour and is 3 time cheaper.
Will do!
Solid review! Fellow frustrates me as they choose to prioritize aesthetics over function. They're clearly intentional about what they do, but I wish it were a bit more thought out. Another good analogy would be a scale for barista like a scale for a baker.
Ordered mine. Thanks for the review
Thanks for watching!
For a scale in that price range it looks pretty cheap. Especially the textured plastic and the wobbly knob. In my experience coffee making is always a mess and this one does not look very simple to clean.
cost is way too much for what features it offer, I think one of the best parts about the Acaia scale is their upside down method, liquid spillage and cleaning it are much easier without any physical blockage, this looks a handful to clean tbh. Also the cost here is just astronomical, the only major difference is the brew assist but this is more of just a very basic calculator feature, you could get a dollar calculator, or simply write down your favorite ratios and dosage and never need to use the brew assist. If this was 120 or less I think a lot of people would find it more tolerable but at the current price, hard pass.
Thanks for watching!
It's a flat surface. You spill, you wipe up. No physical blockage.
The Brewista Ratio has that same functionality and it is like $90 cheaper. I like Fellow Products, I have an ODE Gen2 and my favorite flat bottom brewer is the Stagg, but this product looks like "let's see if we can take the money from the people that already bought our other products"
I’ve started using the fellows Tuesday coffee offering, latest was an April Ethiopian, really good. Waiting for my timemore 078 to weigh on my $20 scale.
Okay, this review makes me wanna buy one. Welp, guess I found something to save for this Christmas. Thanks, Kyle! :D
Fellow is a form>function company. I love my kettle but the spartan features can be a deal breaker. I’m gonna pass on this scale and stick with my acaia. Great review as always man.
Thanks for watching!
It's a scale. It weighs stuff which is all the function required of a scale...And it does more too.
Where's the "form>function" part? And how is that "spartan features" when it's the opposite of Spartan?
"Tamp" the like button. That's unique and I like it lol. Our little social media espresso right here on youtube XD. Appreciate the review as always Kyle. Cheers.
Be sure to prep your puck first.
Is this a good scale for weighing food too. Meal prep scale
I am brewing Baragwi Kianjiru from September Coffee with Lance's ultimate pourover technique and it's awesome.
Btw when shipping to Europe you need to put the value of the items (the coffee) on the package or so and also do not forget to subtract the discount if there was any. I had to pay higher import tolls because the value was estimated. At least that's what I was told.. but I am not sure because the employee from ups with whom I talked sounded kinda confused.
Also what is your water chemistry in September HQ?
Greetings from Austria
Good to know. Thank you.
We’re currently using 3/4 tww classic
Noticed it was out by 0.3 the Acaia 0.1. Is that a calibrated weight or have you not re calibrated for a while? Cheers :)
Thanks for the video! I'm brewing JBC's El Venado Yellow Honey SL-28 out of Madison, Wisconsin. It's delicious, you should try it or anything they roast.
Is the battery replaceable when it fails after years of lithium degradation or do you have to shell out every 5 years?
I’d much sooner buy a cheap scale and use the difference in price to buy good coffee beans. Great video Kyle.
Great video! I especially liked the cutying board illustration, that'a a good way of putting it! One of my groomsmen has a $300 cutting board which always seemed excessive but he swears by it! Seems like a cool scale but I'll stick with my Timemore Black Mirror
Thanks! Glad it resonated with you.
Brewing September's Blackberry Fudge on 'spro this morning. Thanks for the vid!
Hope you enjoy it!
I’ve talked with a guy from Fellow, and told me that a cheaper scale with a mat finish instead of glass, will come out early next year! 👌🏻
Nice!
It looks really nice but is kind of big. I want something small that I can use for both espresso and pourover, but this thing might have trouble fitting into spots underneath espresso machines.
Right now I’m brewing two coffees from local roasters De Fer (flower show spring blend - Ethiopia and Burundi) and Ghost Coffee Collab (washed SL28/SL34). I’m also brewing a Guatemalan aged in amburana barrels from Bold Beanzz
What’s a good scale that measures pour rate?
You know, I have a Pearl, a Lunar (and a Pyxis, which isn’t “smart,” but has some workflow modes) and I’ve never used any of the connected “smart” features. While I think all of these scales are silly expensive (I have a couple Black Mirrors, as well, which is what I would recommend for most), I think Fellow was smart on their feature set. But wobbly knobs. Why do Fellow knobs all wobble?
Although the brew mode is nice, it is just a calculation, as a feature i would not rank it to high. I think flow rate would be way more interesting to have because you can use it to communicate pouring speed between people or recipes. Some timemore scales have this. Flowrate you can calculate as well, but is hard to do in real time when you are pouring
Nice review! I have an acaia pearl s and a lunar so have no interest in this scale. For some reason I find the round plate and the round dial knobs unappealing. If I had to buy a pour over scale again, I would still go with an acaia pearl
Thanks for watching!
Great video but was hoping to hear about the battery life because my lunar has great battery life i even use it for single cup pour overs. How well scales maintain their charge even when not used is also very important to some consumers. Nothing worse than getting back from vacation and realize you need to charge your scale before you can make some coffee.
I’ve charged it once in a month
I love it! Expensive yes but convenience comes at a price. I have started saving up, now I need to find an excuse to buy it. Oh yes it is my wedding anniversary in August :)
I’ve been wanting a new scale but I just wish this one was smaller so I could use it for espresso as well. Maybe in the future 😅
Enjoying some medium-dark Colombia Inzá Vereda today, roasted by my company Stay Goldman. Apples, honey, cinnamon, slight chocolate finish
Nice!
This scale doesn't do justice to Fellow's track record of elegance in product designing. It looks like a weird cross between the base of the Stagg and those really cheap round-topped kitchen scales. And although the brew assist feature is really nice, especially because of how easy it is to adjust ratios from the dial, for $185, I don't think it's worth it.
Maybe, if honest I think this is the nicer scales I’ve used for elegance outside of the knob. Maybe videos don’t do justice? Or maybe it’s a personal preference.
@@KyleRowsell Your videos do it justice
@@KyleRowsell I think all your videos do justice to the features of the reviewed products, including this one (great job, by the way!). But yes, however great the video may be, hands-on experience is what it is... And in all fairness, I guess I would probably love the brew assist feature and the fast responsiveness of the scale. Just not a fan of the design and the price.
@@scarbo1989 very fair. Thanks for the thoughtful response!
I use my Acaia Lunar for pour over. Was thinking of getting the Fellow Tally but for $185 probably not. I can get an Acaia Pearl for $150
Thanks for watching!
$185 ???
oh my days...
timemore black mirror would do the job just fine
both espresso and filter 😅
Thanks for watching!
@@KyleRowsell sure ma men ;)
Ditto. I have a Black Mirror + and a Nano (for my travel set up); excellent responsiveness, reasonably priced. No unnecessary “smart” features.
I like fellow. I use the Ode2 and the kettle. I usually don't weigh my coffee though. I just eyeball it.
Get a scale! Very important. Any scale will do!
I do love the scale !
Today I’m drinking a Prodigal roast. The master Scott Rao is doing amazing things with roasting his own. Frank Torres geisha today. Tangy, flowery, beautifully done.
At 3:02 is it reading 0.3 grams more? I supose that s a 100 grams weight.
Was thinking the same.
I totally thought that the mixcool said something else when it popped out 😉 😂
Great video as always 🙌
What did you think it said?
@@KyleRowsell very close to “for you” but a very different f word at the beginning 😅
I'd be very interested in an espresso scale. I don't drink pour over enough to justify using anything besides my $20 scale and doing the math before brewing.
Yes! I need a high-quality espresso scale that will fit under my Cafelat Robot!
@KyleRowsell gotta getcha some Touchy Coffee brewing the Ecuador- Las Afiladeras .....pretty nice
I would love it if Fellow made a smaller version of this for Espresso.
El Cafe (South Korea) Yemen AL-Hagwa Pico-Lot Natural.
Spices & citrus flavor notes. One of the most interesting coffee I had ever tasted. I am on the constant look out for more Yemen coffee these days.
Enjoy!
Brewing Samara Origins by Blue Bottle. It’s a smooth and floral-worth a cup to experience.
Does the timer stop if I lift brewer to swirl mid brew?
No it does not
@@KyleRowsell awesome, thank you!
Brewing a washed Rwandan red bourbon, from Craft 42. A new roaster here in Kelowna. Honey, berries and chocolate. Beautiful in my moka and Aeropress.
Enjoy!
Man I got some red bourbon from Kibingo, Burundi that was extra at my shop Blendin. It's pretty brown sugary with dark berry/stonefruit undertones!
Tasty
happy with my time more
Today i'm drinking Finca Juan Martin from Cauca, Colombia. Roasted by The Barn in Berlin. It's a washed anaerobic Harrar heirloom, really tasty!
Enjoy!
Fellow is the Apple of filter coffee. They have an attractive ecosystem around filter coffee and it’s priced at a premium. People that want to buy into that ecosystem understand they are paying a premium.
This. Best design
They always hurt my feelings by not releasing a white version at product launch lol I need it to match my Ode and Stagg darn it!
Same.
Finally splurge big money on this premium scale! I love Fellow designs in their coffee gears! But what strikes me the most is the design totally reminds me of the OG PlayStation! The brew assist is a huge seller!
Fellow has built a business around over engineering coffee products that don’t need to be over engineered lol.
Over priced and over engineered.
Great balanced rundown.
Thanks for watching
The brew assist feature is cool but for the price it should be able to do more… The size of it most likely limits it to just pour over. I think any scale in this price range should be able to do espresso as well. Also no flow rate?
I have other fellow products but this seems like a miss
Drinking pink bourbon from Narino, Colombia. By Catfight Coffee. Its stellar!
Enjoy!
Washed red bourbon from flower child! great coffee.
Sounds great!
Love that brew assist mode. But that price is just too much, for scale.
Thanks for watching!
Drinking some Cometeer Equator El Batan this morning
By saying this is too big for espresso you mean it would just look awkward? Or is there anything missing?
Edit - didn't have enough of my coffee before commenting haha - I understand this is too big to fit under a grouphead now
Thanks for watching tom!
Iv had two different Ethiopia Moramora's from two different local roasters back to back in my espresso. One was labeled Geisha but I'm not 100% certain about the variety, research is needed.
Enjoy!
$185 is a high price for a scale which is made from cheap looking plastic mostly like this Fellow Tally. When I first saw images of this product several weeks ago floating around on Instagram, I thought it would be made out of metal mostly. The wobly knob is a no-go & reminds me of my $35 Beurer KS-36...
Thanks for watching Gabriel!
"The scale to the barista is the cutting board to the chef." Well said! I'll be honest, $185 is steep but I've been brewing for 10+ years at home using the same scale and I was stoked to see this scale. The amount of times I've had to do mental math (when I didn't have my phone on me) to calculate the grams of water lol. You're definitely paying a premium but at least it looks sleek.
Brewing some Ghost Rider from PROUD MARY - Mixed natural beans from Brazil & Ethiopia. its some good coffee.
Enjoy!
The brew assist feature is cool. It's not $185 worth of cool IMO... (P.S. brewing Stumptown Hair Bender today - Opus grinder, Orea V3 pour over)
Enjoy that coffee!
My $50 timemore works great!
Morning brew: Ethiopia Uraga, from Klatch Coffee!
Nice!
Thanks for the review, it really helps my buying decisions: $180 and it doesn't have flow rate, but it does have the world's most limited pocket calculator? Pffft.
biggest concern against it's true competitor Acaia Pearl is water ingress into the buttons and general easy of wiping it clean on a spill.
Fair concern. They claim water resistant, and seems to check out. Time will tell
@@KyleRowsell I would expect it to be well sealed but my concern is more around actually cleaning it. The Pearl is a flat glass surface easy to simply wipe off while this scale has all sorts of nooks and crannies.
i know i am late to the conversation but... does this have a flow rate indicator? Otherwise, to be honest, it is still way below Acaia league.
Greetings From POLAND!!
Right now: Elixr Coffee Roasters; Odako, Ethiopia
Enjoy!
Jolly bean roaster's recession proof banger colombian washed geisha through a V60 for what I'm brewing today, super floral and amazing value.
All done on my scale.... Which is the budget one in this video's description 😂
Sounds great!
It’s funny, people keep saying about the brew assistant, which is not at all a new feature, brewista has their scale for over 5 years, which has exactly same feature. 😂😂😂😂😂😂
The circular bottom looks like a great match to a Chemex.
Yeah. Very intentional.
holy poop. a nearly $200 scale. The MyWeigh I've been using for years for my coffee and all my baking is great. Not as classy looking. That is what Fellow is all about though, so I guess it is par for the course.
I am brewing cranberry punch by September Coffee Co.
Enjoy!
I could buy a very nice hand grinder and a cheap, serviceable scale for this price. I know not everyone is good at math, especially before they’ve had their coffee, so the brew ratio thing is neat, but not nearly neat enough for that price.
Products like this kinda annoy me.
I'm actually on the hunt for some new scales for our coffee shop. Hope this is just the first product, cause this really looks like a "home use only" device at a high premium price. What I want for that kind of price is to know is how does it handle when wet, when exposed to moisture all day long, when working next to a steam wand with higher temperatures (cause Acaia scales are notoriously shit for working next to damp and high temperature sources and they show false measurements), how well does it fare after being dropped off the counter a couple of times, how good is the warranty and spare parts supply, how well does it stick to the counter so it's more difficult to knock off, why is there an exposed USB-C port at the back with no cover just waiting to be damaged by a little spilled coffee?
Fellow! That's the stuff I want from a set of scales, if you use the word "PRO" in the name, make sure it's suitable for actual professionals who will use this device hundreds and hundreds of times every single day!
Fair enough. Thanks for watching!
cool scale
Thanks for watching
I would appreciate to also get prices in CAD since you're already paying that
The problem is that the vast majority of my audience is American. Canada is only 10% of my viewership.
I would buy a less premium version, same functions but plastic made. No glass or metal outside for 50% the price.
This scale is about $95 too expensive IMO. For about the same money, I'd rather get an Acaia or the top end Time More Black Mirror 2 with the built in dripper holder. Both have Bluetooth apps and while they're not the most seamless, it probably adds onto the value.
This being branded as Studio edition makes me wonder if we'll see a cheaper variant later though.
Fellow missed the mark by not going the direction of Ultrakoki with a dual scale so you measure also the output.
Thanks for watching!
I feel like I was waiting for an answer to WHY I should buy it. I watched the whole video and was at the end still waiting for the conclusion. Aside from brew assist, name brand, and looks, why would I buy this? Or is the answer just simply “there are no other reasons”? 😂
Ha I can’t tell someone to buy anything. Why? Because you like it or don’t. I don’t think this scale is more complicated than that.
I bought this because it was a no brainer as a discount when bundled with the Ode Gen 2, and I'm Type A and like all my stuff to match, but it irritates the hell out of me that you can't have it auto-time with Timer mode. They force users into Brew Assist for all the functionality, which is obnoxious for a scale MSRPd over $150.
Being forced into Brew Assist forces a new mindset in workflow if you're coming from a scale like Timemore wherein you simply Dump Grounds > Tare > Auto Start because you know exactly how much water you plan to use, but if you skip the step within Brew Assist where it's the complete inverse of Tare > Dump Grounds > Start, the function is rendered useless and there's no 'undoing' it.
For less than $100 you can go with Timemore and get flow rate and auto start. With Fellow you're just paying a premium for aesthetic and a trademarked phrase: Brew Assist.
“OOOOOUUUUUT”. Ah Hah! Oh Canada!
Nice product. Nice review. Sadly, likely to be ripped off by other companies soon.
Thanks for watching!
Making some delicious Cedral Red Honey from Costa Rica by Detour
enjoy!
Too expensive unfortunately. Thanks for reviewing
My pleasure
I’m drinking the Hancock Signature blend from Woodlands Coffee Roasters. It’s a new coffee shop and roastery near me that is sourcing a portion of their coffee from an orphanage plantation in Honduras. It’s incredibly smooth and delicious as both espresso and filter coffee
Enjoy!
I say, get a Timemore and never look back. $185 is a statement-piece price tag and this, for sure, does NOT look like one unlike their Gooseneck, which is a beautiful thing to look at.
Dark bean from Columbia, roasted by New Zealand Havana. Method: AeroPress...
Enjoy!
drinking a locally roasted ethiopian from a v60 :)
I don't care how accurate they are, no scale needs to exceed $100. That's just greed.
Without replaceable batteries, it has a built in expiration date which is unacceptable at the price.
Looks like an ekg base. They need to make and adapter to use your ekg in to a scale and vice versa. 😂😂😂
That would be very neat ha
Uhhhh i dunno about u guys but i use ratios based off 10g of coffee so the maths isnt so hard that i need a 185 dollar scale
Chef's don't use scales and timers? ;) lol
Ha, you missed the point lol
@@KyleRowsell I got it - I was just being a goose. ;)
SMH they need to fix that wobbly button.
Thanks for watching
Can’t find a single reason why I would buy this instead of the 35$ cheaper Pearl.
The original pearl is slower. If that doesn’t bother you do it!
@@KyleRowsell I already have the S model. The original, maybe, but the Pearl has a fresh one with the USB C and I’m not convinced - the Fellow one is too large to compete with Lunar or Pyxis, it goes after Pearl and Pearl is a drip scale IMHO. Going faster and faster in drip beyond the original Pearl is just unnecessary flexing like Bluetooth.
@@ile_klikow the S model is much better for speed.
yea I agree I know the Pearl is plastic but the removable silicone is a lot easier to just toss and wash. No need to worry about paint coming off this black surface, Rust even perhaps if we constantly putting wet cups on.
Im a noice and it didn't tell me how to use the scale. Just chit chat
