Getting use to multiple options.
on September 16, 2024
Posted by: Mike
Purchased months ago and finally arrived. Still getting used to making both single cup and multiple cups options. Coffee tastes great. I have to drink fairly quickly in order for the coffee to remain hot. Finally, getting used to how to set up the desired taste with the dial options. One last challenge, confusion regarding the final selection for brewing, if needed to add or reduce amount of coffee. You have to completely start over.

We fancy now
on September 16, 2024

So far so good! It’s beautiful and makes a solid cup of coffee. I appreciate the precision of measuring grounds and water. The pre-installed instructions based on the beads is extra special. We feel so fancy.
We realize we are early adopters of this tech so it’s going to be a bit clunky out the gate. However, the hiccups were minor and mainly limited to the software in the coffee maker.
I really wish the fluid setting equaled the amount of coffee on the other side of the brew. Since it doesn’t we have used trial and error to figure out which setting makes the most sense for us. It was a bit of an annoyance, but the quality of the brew made up for it.
I would recommend this to a friend!
Response from FellowBy Customer Experience Team, CX, October 2, 2024
We're thrilled to hear you're enjoying Aiden! Thank you for your patience as we work on the firmware issues you've experienced. Our team will be rolling out several fixes soon!
Regarding the coffee quantity, Aiden works much like a pour-over. It’s normal to see a slight difference in the final amount because the coffee grounds absorb some water, and the paper filter holds onto a bit as well. That’s also why the filter might feel heavier after brewing — it’s retaining some of that extra water. I hope this clears things up! If you have any other questions, don’t hesitate to reach out — we’re always here to help.

Great design, hoping for more customization features

I purchased this for my wife's birthday and overall were happy with the quality of the product.
The ability to brew a large pot is incredibly useful when we have guests over. We are eagerly awaiting more of the customization features to modify the brew cycle for our tastes (we tend to prefer stronger brews and aren't able to modify the amount of ground beans either with the ratio or manually)
I haven't tried this for cold brew yet but look forward to giving that a shot. All in all we're hoping this product will stay on our kitchen counter.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great but incomplete.

It is the best coffee maker I have ever used. It comes out better than when I do pour over. The only reason I’m giving it 4 stars and not 5 is because one of the big features it advertised was custom profiles but when I downloaded the app it just says coming soon and fellow says “this fall”. Since it was a big selling point I believe it should have been ready at launch.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great Coffee, Terrible App Experience
on September 18, 2024
Posted by: skhan97
Makes excellent coffee especially using the preset profiles already in the machine. Similar to many users experience the app does not work in the slightest which is why I’m docking this to 4 stars. I have faith this will be fixed in the future but right now I am enjoying the coffee that the Aiden is making.
I would recommend this to a friend!

It was packed perfectly! It was a bit hard to program and no measuring tool!

Works well, makes excellent coffee

Received Aiden last Friday. Canned profiles for dark, medium and light seem to work well. I took 1 star off because the app is not yet fully functional. It is much more convenient using Aiden than it is doing a manual pour over and the coffee tastes better than we were able to achieve manually.
