Fellow
San Francisco coffee equipment company founded in 2013, known for design-led brewing gear.
Fellow started in 2013 with a crowdfunded pour-over kettle and built a business on the observation that coffee equipment could be designed rather than merely engineered.
What they make
Electric kettles with temperature control, grinders, pour-over brewers, espresso accessories and insulated drinkware — a range that sits deliberately between prosumer and professional.
Why they show up on trade floors
The wholesale case is the interesting one: a café that sells the same kettle it brews with turns its counter into a retail display. Equipment brands that can be both back-of-house and merchandise get twice the shelf.
