It ain't perfect, but I love this thing so far.

I hate giving anything 5 stars, especially when it has one or two small quirks. Nevertheless, I am very happy with this device after one whole week. First the disclaimer: I have been drinking coffee for decades, but am fairly new to specialty coffee and pourers – take that for what it's worth. I strongly suggest that anyone seriously interested in buying this brewer go watch the reviews by James Hoffman and Aramse on YouTube, I pretty much agree with them.
In the pour over mode, this brewer is great so far. Once you set up profiles for individual coffees, especially those furnished by Fellow, the results are pretty impressive with the small basket that works up to about 450 milliliters. The batch brewing in the bigger basket is as good as I've found with the higher end competition. To be fair, if you are doing primarily batch brewing at the same temperature, other machines (like the Moccamaster) have longer warranties, are made with less plastic, and are simpler to operate.
Fellow provides detailed downloadable profiles for a number of coffees, and I think all the coffees that they sell in their Fellow Drops program. Personally, I wish Fellow would coordinate a way for users to share profiles for all coffees on their site, and would profile more, but I'm also using Drops because I'm lazy (and so far happy with the coffee).
If you are seriously interest in obtaining the optimum extraction with an automated machine, this one is awesome so far. If you just want a batch the same way every morning, this one will do it fine, but that's not its claim to fame.
Issues: See Hoffman and Aramse reviews.I do feel that the brew benefits from a stir before pouring, which means opening the carafe lid and using a spoon. I'm not a thermos expert but if I wanted the coffee to be hot for more than, say, 30-45 minutes (this is a guess), I'd probably decant it into another vessel. Initially, it's fine. The carafe is well made, and so easy to get my hand in to clean unlike others. My biggest regret is that there is no way to watch the shower head working into the slurry; I can only see the grounds after the cycle has finished.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Almost Perfect

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.

Water tank and carafe need to be better
on May 11, 2025

Easy to use. Enjoy being able to fine tune variables. Water tank is difficult to read. Carafe doesn’t keep coffee hot long enough. Wide hole on top makes coffee cool off too quickly. This is not a thermal carafe.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Unmatched flexibility

In my 80’s and during this life have had many coffee makers. My new Aiden is the plus ultra of them all ! Even my wife, a tea drinker, says the flavor and smoothness may convert her.

I absolutely love this coffee maker. As someone who loves coffee but struggled to make it taste like the coffee I’d get when I was at a coffee shop… this has been a godsend.

I love this thing

I used to sleep because I liked to rest. Now I sleep so it can be morning again sooner, and I can enjoy another cup of coffee from this machine. Incredible, what a joy to use. The design is thoroughly thought out, and the brew is so good.
I would recommend this to a friend!
