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

We finally got ourselves to the Aiden. We spotted it at a Crate and Barrel location recently, and decided to get it. We like buying things after seeing it in person. Since both of us have very different opinions on coffee, we approached it with some skepticism. The features are impressive though. And cool! For my husband, who’s an engineer, the mechanical details were the focus. Spout design, the carafe, the showerhead. Systems that provide control. The fact that it can pinpoint settings is fantastic! The app lets you dial in variables like bloom time, temperature, and pulses. The suggestion of how many grams to grind is a good guideline. There are other technical features such as setting the specific elevation of our city speaks to the thought process in designing this machine. Nicely done! I’m a school teacher. I need to have my coffee ready. The ability to schedule a brew so that the coffee is waiting for me around breakfast time is great for my hectic mornings. The machine makes it easy. I’m fussy about light roasts, so I love the setting for it. Together, we love that it gives us great quality coffee! Looks like a million bucks on the counter. Goes well with the lines of our kitchen. It’s also cool that you can do a cup or the whole carafe. We also got the grinder, which is impressive, but that’s for another day. Oh, and the silicone ring inside the brew area is a big plus. No steam escapes from it, which protects our cabinets.

My husband and I really enjoy a high quality cup of coffee, so for years we were strictly pour-over people. However, after having our first child making a pour-over coffee in the mornings became a nearly impossible task. We wanted to find a new machine that brewed coffee to the same standard we were used to, but didn’t require as much time and effort. After researching options, we decided to try Aiden. This coffee machine has far exceeded our expectations. The machine design is a work of art, even down to the packaging. The set up process could not have been easier and even included a step that allowed us to set the specific elevation of our city, which every coffee connoisseur knows is essential to the perfect cup. We love that this machine comes with two filter box sizes, giving you the option to make a small or large batch of coffee. Other features that we think are exceptional include; the capability to make cold brew coffee, guided brewing which tells you the exact measurement of grinds needed depending on how many cups of coffee you’re making, the ability to select the type of coffee roast you’re using, the double wall thermal coffee pot which prevents the coffee from burning, and the fact that the machine automatically blooms and pulses the grinds for you, ensuring each pot of coffee as smooth and flavorful as possible. Automating anything can be tricky because it usually compromises the final product, but that is not the case with the Aiden. Even if you’re just entering the world of gourmet coffee, the Aiden will walk you through each step of the process in making coffee exactly the way you like it. We have found the brew settings we like, and Aiden allowed us to save them by creating a brew profile. We use this profile every night and schedule a brew to start when we wake up, making the mornings so much easier and much more enjoyable. If you’re in the market for a high quality coffee machine, I’d suggest Aiden a million times over.

I love this coffee maker. But it’s been issue after issue with Amazon since I got it. 1. I paid full price for this and it came in used when I expected it to be brand new. It still had coffee stain in it like it was rinsed out and not actually washed. 2. The color on the side had faded? Not sure if I wanted to say faded but there are two discolored spots on it and they’re obvious because it’s black. 3. The handle rattles now. I don’t know what to do at this point. I’ve had two partial refunds for the first two issues but I’m at a loss. I’m close to just contacting the actual company and seeing what can be figured out since amazon kind of screwed me unfortunately. Other than the issues I’ve listed, I love it. The timer on the coffee maker is amazing so I know how long I have to wait. And not to mention the app lets you know when it’s finished. I have no issues with it leaking unless it’s from the filter because I’m changing the grounds. It’s light weight and small enough to fit on our little partial “bar” that sits on the counter. The temperature of the coffee varies and I love the options between light, medium, and dark brews.

For as long as I can remember I’ve been making my dark roast coffee in a French press. Every time I had tried to change it up and try a new method, it didn’t quite meet my expectations. Automatic coffee makers ended up making a bitter, over-extracted brew. Pour over provided better taste, but didn’t quite get the richness that the long extraction of the French press accomplished. And AeroPress wasn’t very efficient with its “cup at a time” brewing method when I wanted more than one cup. I then heard about the Fellow Aiden. I wasn’t sure at first that a machine could replicate the manual methods, but decided to give it a try. Boy was I impressed! When I brewed my first pot using the built-in preset for “Dark Roast”, the coffee was everything I had been looking for. It had the richness and body that you get from the French press process, but had eliminated that “muddy” flavor and texture you get from the stewing of the grounds. I was convinced on the first day! Moreover, each subsequent brew I’ve made, whether by pot or single cup has been consistent and excellent. In addition to the other features that make the Aiden great (stylish looks on the counter, extremely well made and thought out components and carafe, easy clean up, and scheduled coffee for the morning - a real benefit after my years of having to think about making coffee before having coffee!), the Aiden has opened up my world to trying out some other types of coffee out there that are more in the medium and light roast categories. In the past I’d found it hard to approach some of these coffees, as I wasn’t very “scientific” about my brewing technique. Since the Aiden fully automates this “science”, I’ve been building a new appreciation for different styles of coffee. I’ve even programmed my own preset or two for some specialty coffees that didn’t seem to fall into the “light, medium or dark roast” categories very easily. Overall I’m extremely happy with my Aiden. Hands down it’s the best coffee maker I’ve ever owned. Thanks Fellow!

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!

This coffee maker is fancy and high-tech, sleek and modern but easy to use. You can choose the type of brew you want or you can let the machine decide for you depending on how much ground coffee you add to the basket. It also offers options for scheduling which is nice, it feels like someone made a cup of coffee for you in the morning when you wake up. The carafe is stylish, pours nicely and keeps the coffee hot. It is easy to clean, which was one of my main complaints about my previous coffee maker (Breville with grinder incorporated). Also easy to lift and fill the water resevoir. It is quiet and allows you to choose the alarm when the coffee is brewed. Overall very happy with the purchase, I am learning how to make the perfect cup of coffee for myself and I am getting closer!

Great First Impression for Instant Iced Coffee This was my first time using the Fellow coffee maker, and I’m really impressed. I used it to make an instant brew for iced coffee, and the whole process was surprisingly simple and smooth. The machine heats up quickly and the controls are very intuitive, which made it easy to use right out of the box. The coffee came out clean and well-balanced, and even poured over ice it didn’t taste watered down — a great first-cup experience. I also love the sleek, minimal design. It looks great on the counter and feels well thought out. For a first use, everything worked exactly as expected, which isn’t always the case with new appliances.

Makes a great cup of coffee and is pretty easy to program and use. The water tank isn’t very big if you’re brewing a pot every day, it has to be refilled each day. And there are glitches in its system that make it a pain to use. It reminds you when it’s time to descale the coffee maker but after it’s been descaled, the same “time to descale” message comes back up and won’t go away. It is a known issue with the Aiden coffee maker and their website tells you to return the brewer to factory settings to clear the problem. Trouble is, that also clears ALL settings and you have to reenter the time & date, and any scheduled brews you already input. That defeats the purpose of being able to program your coffee. I expect better from Fellow and I would definitely not buy this particular product again.

The Fellow Aiden Coffee Brewer is a sleek, high-performance filter coffee machine that combines style with exceptional brewing quality. With its precision brewing technology, it ensures your coffee is brewed at the perfect temperature, delivering a rich and balanced cup every time. The unique design and user-friendly interface make it a standout in both functionality and aesthetics, perfect for coffee enthusiasts who appreciate both form and function.

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

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.

The machine makes good coffee, but I question the quality control. I've had a handful of problems with what I consider to be a very expensive coffee maker. The face plate has fallen off a number of times. The clock runs fast enough that it gains about 3 minutes per week. Finally, it seemed "stuck" one morning when it was mid-brew, emitting a constant sound until my wife tapped the side of the machine. For the price I would expect better. Edit: it's now November and the machine no longer works. No matter how often I attempt to flush it, it tells me the flush failed. I can't run a descale cycle because it says I need to add water. Not even close to worth the cost.

Alright, so I’ve been a die-hard French press guy for years, but I finally decided I wanted something I could set and forget without sacrificing quality or control. Enter the Aiden coffee brewer. This thing absolutely delivers. The settings, the level of control—you can really dial in the perfect cup just like with a French press, but without the hassle. Plus, the community around it is super helpful if you want to tweak your brew. And yeah, it looks pretty sweet on the counter too. Solid upgrade.
