Worth it

There's a lot of great options for coffee makers out there, but if I'm being honest, I wanted something that could get the job done and look good doing it. The Aiden checks both of those boxes.
If you've been researching this product and checking out the YouTube reviews, then you'll know there is a common criticism about the build quality of the hinges. In my experience, this product seems in line with the quality of other Fellow products. I think what stands out is this is one that has you interact with different parts unlike some that just have one part that you move. I think most people won't mind the product of this quality.
The coffee tastes great, and the cold brew function is a cool touch. I was a bit reluctant to use the app since it felt a bit redundant seeing that you can make and edit profiles from the machine itself, but I must admit that I have caught myself using it and appreciating the simplicity of using my phone to make these changes. Getting the firmware updates is easy, and there's been very few frustrations with the whole experience since getting it.
On a cleaning note, you do gotta wipe the shower head and keep the basket area dry after a brew. It doesn't really clean itself or drain into the empty carafe. However, I think part of having nice things and keeping them nice is maintenance, so it's not that big of a deal.
TL;DR: It brews good and looks good. Read the manuals.

A mess to take care of
on November 24, 2024
Posted by: Evilbeaver
I’ve had the Aiden for a week. Each day since opening it I’ve brewed 2-3 pots of coffee through it in batch mode. I’m brewing 1300ml of coffee with a range of 1:16 to 1:17 ratio. I’ve played with using the pulse feature and going with 2-3 pulses per brew cycle.
The coffee tastes good that comes out… when there aren’t grounds coming through the filter basket into the pot. Aiden is a mess to clean up between brews. I’m using 70-75 grams of ground coffee per batch. Grinds are constantly flushed over the edges of the filter and splashed onto the shower head above.
User error? Only if following guidelines is the wrong thing to do.
I’m likely going to return mine asap and go back to pour overs for batch brewing. I wanted this for doing larger brews when family visits so I don’t have to stand around making pot after pot of coffee. Now I have to stand around cleaning Aiden, instead.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Not the rockstar it was billed to be
on October 3, 2024
Posted by: Pricey
This is OK - two annoying things: no way to tell how much coffee is left in the carafe. The carafe does not keep the coffee very hot for long .....it needs more insulation or a heat element Their suggested measurements of water and coffee dont make sense.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Wonderful single cup coffee
on November 8, 2024
Posted by: Stealthycar
So far it’s great. Had to switch from americanos to drip because my cholesterol numbers were creeping up. Plus my prep time in the morning delayed my commute. The coffee this machine makes rivals my americanos and way less prep time. It makes a very good full body single cup which is all I wanted it to do. I started using it by prepping the coffee the night before. But I can taste the difference when I grind in the mornings so I’m back to morning prep but it’s way less time.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Good brew, fine design, longevity concerns
on November 23, 2024
Posted by: Ay yo just that dude ok?
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 would recommend this to a friend!

Everything I had expected
on April 6, 2025
Posted by: Peter S
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.
