Fellow Aiden Precision Coffee Maker - 10-Cup Thermal Carafe, Built-In Brewing Guidance, Scheduling, Removable Water Tank, Matte Black

I've had my Aiden about a week and love it. It is a bit pricey, but I did not find any competition that could do what it could do for noticeably cheaper. I love the brew profile flexibility it offers. I've yet to connect it to the internet, mostly under the "if it works don't fix it" principle. Also, I roast my own coffee, so brew profile sharing is not of much value to me. What I find is that it beats at least 80% of the pour overs I buy at Starbucks or the local coffee shop as the typical barista is busy, or not that experienced or just doesn't care all that much. The only way I can beat it is to spend way more time and energy than I want to spend each morning. So, for me, I get a really good cup for way less than I would pay at a coffee shop and don't have to leave home to get it, nor spend more of my time making it. That's why I'm willing to pay the price for it.The other thing to note... while the app looks really nice, it was less effort for me to manually create two brew profiles that tweak the medium and dark profiles they give than it would have been to set up the app. Frankly I'm impressed with that interface they provided right on the brewer. When I bought it, I was expecting something much more cumbersome.WRT the cold brew profile, my first attempt was not quite as good as Starbucks, but I'm sure I will tune things up quite a bit as I get more familiar with that profile and play with grind size. I do like what I got better than my usual approach to cold brew. I plan to create a custom cold brew profile, and try a longer soak and see how it turns out.On the hardware, I like what I see. The plastic makes it light, making it easy to move around. Hopefully it stands the test of time. The size is real nice. The two brew baskets are great. Brew time is what I would expect for a pour over. Brew capacity is fine. I haven't experienced any of the issues noted in some of the reviews (and hope it stays that way).

I love this thing. The brew profiles are where it really shines — there's a great community of people sharing profiles for different coffees, and if you can't find what you're looking for, you can even use an AI like Claude to help dial one in. The only quirk I've run into is occasionally the finish tone sounds elongated, and the screen gets stuck for a few seconds if manually selecting a brew profile. Looks alarming the first time it happens, but it's never once affected the actual brew, so I've learned to ignore it. Hopefully, a firmware update will eventually fix it.

Porquería de cafetera!!!Adjunto video, se lee en foros qué mucha gente tiene el mismo problema y no resuelven, mucho menos el vendedor de cuarta que lo distribuye aquí en amazon

This is the absolute best coffee maker that can make 1 of 2 cups of fantastic coffee or a big carafe holding 1.5L of coffee. Whether you use the recipes that are created by Fellow or your own using the App , you will still make some of the best coffee you have ever tasted.The Fellow Aiden may take a day or two getting used to but once you get the hang of it you will never make coffee on another coffee brewer again with the exception of espresso. Like any other coffee brewer the Aiden can’t make a cup of true espresso. I personally believe that if it could the making of espresso would not only add to the cost of the Aiden but also subtract from its purpose—brewing a really fantastic cup of coffee.If you have ever watched some of the various coffee ‘experts’ review the Aiden on YouTube one of the negative points they make is the build quality. However, I can tell you now that Fellow has to have done something about it. The reviewers all claimed that the plastic was too soft, of a very low quality causing the Aiden to bend under pressure when pressed down with some minor force on the top right corner. It even showed than when this happened the seams on the top of the brewer separated that again showed the poor quality of the build all to keep the price down as much as possible.When I received my Aiden it was the first thing I checked because had it been true I really might have returned it to Amazon. BUT, it simply was not true. I can only assume that Fellow changed the plastic used in the manufacturing process because my Aiden is made of a strong plastic of high quality. THANKFULLY!Of all the coffee brewers made today of high quality, this one is the best I have ever considered. Because of the carafe’s straight walls when emptied there is no coffee retained as is in all other carafes. There is nothing at the pour spout to keep some of the coffee in the carafe.The water tank holds 1500 ml of water which equals the maximum size of the carafe. And the water tank is removable for easy filling. Two brew baskets come with the Aiden. One is for making 1-4 cups of coffee and the other for 5+ cups. The filters used are the Melitta #2 for 1-4 cups and the Melitta flat bottom 8-12 cup filters for the 5+ cups of joe. Also in the same area is the brew head. In there you will find a switch with 15 holes where the water comes through and down onto the coffee grounds. When the green coded cone-shaped brew basket is selected for making 1-4 cups of coffee, you must turn that switch counterclockwise or to the left so that water comes out of only three (3) holes which are located dead center of the brew head. If you forget to make the correct shower head selection the Aiden will remind you with some beeps and will refuse to brew the coffee. On the flip side of that coin, when wanting to make 5-12 cups of coffee you must select the blue brew basked and turn the selection switch clockwise. This will open all 15 drip holes so that all the coffee grounds in the round, flat-bottom brew bracket will be properly doused in water for making the best pot of coffee possible. And like the other basked of choice, the Aiden will not brew the coffee until the switch is turned to the proper position.When you first plug in the Aiden you will be made to input certain settings so that it can properly make coffee. Those settings include the language, the chime, clock in 12 or 24-hour time, and even your elevation above sea level where the Aiden is currently, etc. On the Aiden there is a small round, full-color screen where everything from settings, menus for brewing coffee, the recipes I mentioned earlier, and even a game to play. Once you go through all those selections and menus you may find that it is too small for inputting your own coffee recipes and other things. Almost everything you can do on the screen and the control knob you can do on the App that you can download to your iPhone or Android-based phone. I strongly suggest that you download the Fellow Aiden App as soon as you unbox your Aiden, plug it in and follow the instructions for setting it up.The App is extremely easy to use which give you almost complete control over making coffee of your choice. You can create your own recipes and through the App have the Aiden make that coffee recipe for you. You can control things such as bloom time, bloom Ratio, bloom temperature, number of pulses (up to 10), time between pulses, and time of each pulse, etc. And there are many recipes of coffees that Fellow provides at no cost when you set up the Aiden to your WiFi network. Basically stated, Fellow has made making coffee not only easy and fool proof but has provided everyone with the best coffee maker on the market today.I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THE FELLOW AIDEN COFFEE BREWER!

Disappointed After just 2 Months--Fellow Aiden Coffee MakerI've had the Fellow Aiden for just under 2 months, and unfortunately, it's already become a very expensive paperweight. The unit keeps flashing 'Add Water' despite the reservoir being full. I reached out to the Fellow's support team, and while they've been responsive, the troubleshooting steps have only made things worse.First, they advised flushing the unit--this triggered the same 'Add Water' error, Then came descaling, which only repeated the same issue. Now they're asking what kind of water i use, which feels condescending.For a premium priced machine I expect more.My Breville coffee maker lasted over 9 years being finally replaced due to the grinder failing.I chose the Aiden for its sleek design and promise of precision brewing, BUT none of that matters if the machine can't even get past startup.Hoping Fellow makes this right, but as of now, I can't recommend this product.Sorry, a little grumpy without my morning coffee.
