I purchased this two weeks ago and now they have a sale with a 20% discount. Just can't win. Tried to purchase the new version of their grinders but not available until the end of June/July so none of their bundle prices could be applied. Purchased a different brand and it has been fine. Aiden works fine but feel a bit burned about the pricing.

I see the potential in this coffee maker, but don't buy it now. I'll be returning mine asap. The software to operate this coffee maker does not work correctly. It doesn't keep the correct time, which means you can't preset your coffee to be made the night before. Also, I created multiple brew profiles, and the next day they were all gone. Lastly, the app is completely useless. Sorry Fellow, I love your products, but this coffee maker isn't quite ready to be released yet.

Aiden aligins with all the other Fellow line up, looks great, but better yet, woks like a champ! Consistent brew every time, and the way Aiden allows such customizations, its just so fun to have so many differnt profiles for yoiur different moods and brews! Love the machine now itching for my Espresso Series 1!

This is not only a good looking brewer but one that also produces interesting results! Easy to setup and maintain. I love the idea of getting templates on how the roaster thought those coffee should be prepared. The menu is nice, although round screen is not always followed with round type of design. More of a nit than actual complaint. The only con that I noticed is that it the carafe is not holding heat really well. I am comparing to Breville Precision Brewer, which may be why I have such high expectations for keeping my coffee hot. Otherwise I really love it!

We've been using this coffee machine for a little over a month. I have one major complaint which has me considering getting rid of it. The brew basket is too small, see the attached picture. The basket and space above is undersized for the volume of coffee that the brewer needs to make full pots of coffee. When using >60g of coffee the coffee rises above the filter and even gets on the brew head. This isn't day old fresh coffee, but closer to two week old coffee from our local roaster. When following the "guided brew" instructions for full (10 cups) pots of light roast which asks for >80g of coffee the machine is left a mess and coffee flowing over the filter (size spec'd by fellow) resulting in coffee grounds in our brew. This feels like an oversight that should have been caught early in testing. Otherwise, the machine works wonderfully. It's just messy and gets grounds in my coffee. I'm looking for alternate filters that go higher in the basket to help with the latter.

I love everything about the functioning of this coffee maker. It's so great to be able to micro-manage my coffee-making. The only reason I wouldn't rate this a 5 is because the carafe doesn't keep the coffee hot for hours as promised. I have to leave for work early in the morning and make a pot a couple hours before my wife gets up. By the time she gets up, the coffee is luke warm-ish. Otherwise love the coffeemaker.

I have found that non-Drops coffees are much more difficult to “get right” as the system is less forgiving than I expected. However when I do get to the ideal grind size (difficult to select for each roast level) and for once the correct settings for brewing (time, temp, etc) the Aiden makes a terrific cup or cups of coffee.

The Fellow Aiden coffee brewer has been a fantastic addition to my kitchen. One of the key reasons I chose this brewer is its SCA certification, which ensures a consistently high standard of coffee quality. I previously used the Behmor Brazen plus 3.0 since they discontinued the app centric version of this coffee maker, but I was looking for a more advanced and feature-rich brewer—and Aiden has delivered. From a design standpoint, Aiden surpasses my previous machine. Its sleek, modern aesthetic pairs perfectly with my other Fellow products, making it a stylish centerpiece on my countertop. While some have questioned whether it meets Fellow's premium build standards, I personally disagree. Though I wouldn't have minded the use of even more high-end materials, the Aiden still feels solid, well-crafted, and worthy of its price point. The coffee it produces is outstanding—smooth, flavorful, and perfectly extracted every time. It consistently outperforms my manual pour-over attempts, making my morning routine both easier and more enjoyable. The Fellow app is another highlight, adding convenience to the brewing process. However, there's room for improvement. It would be helpful if the app displayed the water level status to avoid guessing whether I need to refill the tank. Additionally, a brew timer showing the elapsed time would be a practical touch with viewing from in the application. Even better, a future software update could enable remote brewing—imagine starting a pre-loaded brew from bed or while getting ready just before walking out the door. And while waiting for the brew to complete ,why not allow the game to be available for more fun while waiting? There are a couple of design tweaks I'd love to see. While I'm not asking for a traditional pause-and-serve feature, I do think Aiden could be engineered to prevent dripping when removing the carafe something that could double as a pause-and-serve option for some users. Not ideal for purest but even after the brew is completely finished I still get drips that make the machine unnecessarily dirty Additionally, a cleaning setting with guided steps on both the machine's screen and the app would simplify maintenance. Finally, the carafe could be enhanced to hold the coffee at an optimal temperature for longer. It's great for the first cup, but I'd love if my second cup stayed just as hot and flavorful without needing to use an Ember mug to slightly raise the temperature. Overall, I'm thoroughly impressed with the Fellow Aiden. It combines beautiful design with excellent brewing performance, making it a standout machine. While there's room for some thoughtful software and hardware refinements, it already makes better coffee than I ever could with a pour-over. If you're looking for a top-tier brewer that offers both style and substance, I highly recommend the Fellow Aiden.

We love the coffee maker. Before buying this my wife used a pour over and I used a cheap drip coffee maker. We did blind taste tests and in both cases preferred the Aiden. It's amazing the difference it makes. Such a smooth cup of coffee. It's expensive but now we have eliminated the need for two different brewing methods.

Bought 6 months ago. It has made my mornings so much more enjoyable. I love a good cup of coffee, buy pretty good coffee, use the guided medium roast setting and with little effort, I have a consistantly great cup of coffee. I used to hand pour, having to wait for bloom, and then slowely pour to avoid dust. Too much time spent for me. I think this maker does better than mine anyway.
