I have had the coffee maker for about a month. I like everything about the coffee maker except for the carafe. If you make a full pot (10 cups), it is next to impossible to not spill coffee when pouring. It works reasonably well when brewing 8 cups or less.

We can't say enough positive things about our Aiden! We have been researching brewers for months and finally decided to take the plunge…we're so glad we did! The removable water reservoir is perfect, the carafe is solid and easy to clean, the tech features are so impressive, and the machine is much sturdier than anticipated. My only complaint is the carafe being 10 cups vs. the 12 I would take to work with me everyday with our previous pot. But, I'll live!

Overall very good machine. Makes great coffee, so long as you follow the correct workflow and satisfy conditions to account for shortcomings. These is no sensor to know if the carafe or mug is in place. Disabling a scheduled brew when there is no vessel detected would be useful. The coffee maker will continue to drip coffee after the brew is complete. I keep a paper towel under my mug/carafe for this purpose. There are software frustrations as well. The brew quantities in the app are not the same as in the display. I would like to be able pause a scheduled brew. Push notifications for running out of water mid brew would save a ruined cup. These are all issues that can be resolved with some diligence. The primary value proposition for me was unattended scheduled brews. The Aiden falls short on this metric, as I do need make sure the aforementioned conditions are satisfied.

This is not a coffee maker for everyone. This is for someone who wants to elevate coffee, but doesn't want to do pourover or similar. In return for some ease, there's a loss of some control, but the machine does everything really well. There's much simpler (and cheaper) machines out there, but do they give you this level of control? No. Do they have the chance to upgrade and personalize? No. The potential of the coffee profiles and guides is huge, if Fellow gets roasters to buy in and they get the app to a usable point. I'm knocking a point off my review here (Nov '24) because not everything works as promised, but the potential is all still there and it's good as-is. Just ask yourself - how serious am I about coffee?

This coffee maker is awesome! I previously had an automatic “pour over” coffee maker from another company and although it was great, it only had the simple feature of an automated pour over. The Aiden is amazing in that it tells you exactly how much coffee to weigh and add based on the number of cups you want, it has different settings to brew different roasts perfectly, it sets a schedule to have it ready at the perfect time with guidance on how to brew. I am a pretty simple pour over home barista but these additional features with guidance have really kicked my brews to the next level with zero effort, just the click of the dial. You will not regret buying this, even if you already have another automatic pour over machine. Pair it with the Fellow Opus Grinder and Talley Scale and you are dialed.

Got the white Aiden unit. Beautiful machine & makes great coffee. I can't speak for the durability, but we are super happy with the purchase thus far. You can dial in your coffee in very granular way. I am having fun making subtlety different flavored coffee from the same beans by playing with the parameters (light — medium — dark roast profiles)

Quite nice, excellent cup of coffee, on par with a Curtis Gold Cup for the small head, and excellent batch brews for the larger basket. I'm glad they chose the two most common filter styles. I have a few durability concerns with some of the design (the colored plastic latches that hold the baskets in place, the display/buttons, the myriad sensors), and wouldn't recommend this to the BIFL crowd over a Moccamaster. For the rest of us, seeking the flexibility of single cup brews, it's a fine bit of kit.

I've used it 3 times since I've gotten it and LOVE IT! I put in the brew recipe with a coffee I got with Fellow Drops and got MUCH better results than what I was doing on my own using my Chemex. I'm genuinely pleased. Beyond the best benefit, taste, I like that the coffee is hotter than what I get in my Chemex (a lot of cool down happens even if I first put hot water in my chemex & mug), and I can make more coffee at once! I look fwd to the promised features like being able to PUSH the brew recipes to the machine vs. having to manually add them.

I bought the Aiden as part of a bundle. Was disappointed to learn during the ordering process that bundles don't qualify for the 10%. The coffee maker is excellent and the interface, including making your own brewing program, is very intuitive. It brews and excellent cup of coffee and seems to be well made.

Absolutely love my First new Aiden! So easy to use and perfect coffee every time. . . will not go back to any other brand, good job!
