BIGFACE × FELLOW ESPRESSO SERIES 1
Two brands. One standard. 100 machines. Each numbered. No second chances.
SAN FRANCISCO, CA - April 13, 2026 - BIGFACE, the premium specialty coffee and lifestyle brand founded by Jimmy Butler, and Fellow, the San Francisco-based design-led home coffee gear brand, today announce the BIGFACE × Fellow Espresso Series 1: a limited-edition collaboration featuring 100 individually numbered home espresso machines, available beginning April 21, 2026.
The Series 1 brings professional-level espresso home - built for those who expect more from every cup. Beginner-friendly and expert-ready, it meets drinkers wherever they are in their ritual and raises their standard.
"I'm always learning when it comes to coffee. Grind size, water temp, extraction time, origin - these are the things I obsess over in the same way I obsess over my game," said Jimmy Butler, founder of BIGFACE. "With the Series 1, you can tinker and you can learn. It's a machine built for people like me who believe every shot is worth perfecting. Plus, it looks sick on the counter."
"With BIGFACE, Jimmy and I are on a mission to bring great coffee to more people," adds BIGFACE COO Britt Berg. "The Series 1 delivers cafe-quality espresso at home without lowering the standard. Honestly, our partnership is a no-brainer."
This marks the first-ever customized release of Fellow's highly acclaimed Series 1. It is also the second collaboration between the two brands, who share an obsession with elevated design and uncompromising quality. In 2023, the two collaborated on the Ultimate Road Kit, a limited-edition premium portable coffee brewing set. The set sold out in hours, proving that when Fellow and BIGFACE come together, people pay attention.
"At Fellow, we’ve always believed that the tools you use should be as intentional as the coffee you brew. Partnering with Jimmy and the BIGFACE team was the perfect opportunity to bring that philosophy to life,” said Jake Miller, Founder and CEO of Fellow. “This Series 1 collaboration is the result of our shared obsession with the details - combining high-level performance with a look that stands out in any kitchen. We wanted to bring together eye-catching design and precision brewing for the BIGFACE fans who take their home espresso as seriously as we do."
The BIGFACE × Fellow Series 1 is finished in a high gloss black with tonal BIGFACE × Fellow co-branding. Each purchase includes a metal commemorative card designed in BIGFACE’s signature style and signed by Jimmy Butler. The card is equal parts art object and proof of being one of 100. The BIGFACE × Fellow Series 1 is priced at $1,999.95 and will be available at bigfacebrand.com and fellow.com beginning April 21, until it sells out.
Ahead of the launch, BIGFACE will release an exclusive coffee through Fellow’s text-based Drops subscription service. On Tuesday, April 14, Drops subscribers will have limited-time access to BIGFACE’s Kilonova. Kilonova brings together coffees from Ethiopia and Colombia in one luminous blend. Roasted light-medium for clarity and vibrant acidity, it performs across pour over, drip, and as a modern espresso. Each BIGFACE Series 1 will come with a bag of Kilonova.
