Fellow Aiden Precision Coffee Maker - 10-Cup Thermal Carafe, Built-In Brewing Guidance, Scheduling, Removable Water Tank, Matte White

For as long as I can remember I’ve been making my dark roast coffee in a French press. Every time I had tried to change it up and try a new method, it didn’t quite meet my expectations. Automatic coffee makers ended up making a bitter, over-extracted brew. Pour over provided better taste, but didn’t quite get the richness that the long extraction of the French press accomplished. And AeroPress wasn’t very efficient with its “cup at a time” brewing method when I wanted more than one cup. I then heard about the Fellow Aiden. I wasn’t sure at first that a machine could replicate the manual methods, but decided to give it a try. Boy was I impressed! When I brewed my first pot using the built-in preset for “Dark Roast”, the coffee was everything I had been looking for. It had the richness and body that you get from the French press process, but had eliminated that “muddy” flavor and texture you get from the stewing of the grounds. I was convinced on the first day! Moreover, each subsequent brew I’ve made, whether by pot or single cup has been consistent and excellent. In addition to the other features that make the Aiden great (stylish looks on the counter, extremely well made and thought out components and carafe, easy clean up, and scheduled coffee for the morning - a real benefit after my years of having to think about making coffee before having coffee!), the Aiden has opened up my world to trying out some other types of coffee out there that are more in the medium and light roast categories. In the past I’d found it hard to approach some of these coffees, as I wasn’t very “scientific” about my brewing technique. Since the Aiden fully automates this “science”, I’ve been building a new appreciation for different styles of coffee. I’ve even programmed my own preset or two for some specialty coffees that didn’t seem to fall into the “light, medium or dark roast” categories very easily. Overall I’m extremely happy with my Aiden. Hands down it’s the best coffee maker I’ve ever owned. Thanks Fellow!

I've owned your basic 12-cup coffee maker for a long time, even had the same model now twice in a row. I knew I was missing something and can say without a doubt, the Aiden has been my best "just for me" purchase in a long time. Apple is my gold standard...once I started unpacking the product, I knew I made the right decision. A unique locking system on the outer box to avoid internal shipment breakage. Once opened, the custom fit protective foam uses the absolute minimum required..and then the first touch of the product. Damn, the powder coating finish just feels so good in the palm. Looking at the unit on our countertop is a treat everyday, the Aiden's design is as elegant as Apple products. Now who knew that making coffee could be so refined and tweaked to your hearts content to get that just perfect brewed pot of coffee. Well, if you want to do that, easy peasy with the app, just experiment away. The app is intuitive and makes playing around a breeze. Really unique is when buy their beans/grinds and you use their pre-built settings you don’t have to experiment....of course you can modify those if you so desire. The carafe is double walled stainless steel, so your coffee stays hot without using a burner plate to over cook the coffee, so it actually costs less to use and here in California, our electricity rates are too high to begin with. Unlike every other coffee maker I've owned, I don't have to move it from under the cabinets when brewing as no steam escapes, so no concern for damaging your underside of the cabinets. One last thing. Every coffee pot always seems to drip when pouring right at the end. The curvature of this carafe spout is perfect, I never have to wipe the counter. The Aiden has hit all the big design elements and then goes further to make perfect all the little annoying things I've always been annoyed about.

Look, I've been doing the manual brewing thing for over 8 years now. AeroPress, V60, French press, Moka pot, Chemex, Stagg... you name it, I've probably dialed it in at some point. I was that guy who thought auto-drip machines were for people who didn't really care about coffee. Then life threw me a curveball. We hosted Thanksgiving this year for the first time, and suddenly I had four additional coffee-drinking adults in my house for four days. I was making 6 pour-overs a day, every day. And we've got an 8-month-old now, so time isn't exactly abundant. Those morning pour-overs that used to feel like a peaceful ritual? They'd turned into just another thing on the list. My wife has tried learning the technique, but she always says "it's never as good as yours," so I end up making two separate brews every morning. That's about 10 minutes of my morning, every morning, just standing there pouring water in circles. I'd heard about the Fellow Aiden but honestly never gave it serious consideration. How could a machine replicate what I was doing by hand? But after that Thanksgiving marathon, I started thinking maybe there was a better way. Now that I've had it for a few weeks, I'm genuinely annoyed I didn't pull the trigger sooner. Here's the thing that got me: the taste is actually there. I was so skeptical about this, but the coffee coming out of the Aiden tastes like a proper pour-over. The bloom cycle, the temperature precision, the even extraction... it's all happening, just without me having to stand there managing it. I dial in our morning setup (900ml, 53g of our light roast), measure the beans, drop in the filter and grounds, hit start, and walk away. Thirty seconds of effort instead of ten minutes, and the cup tastes just as good as what I was laboring over. The quiet brewing is a huge deal with a baby in the house. I can start a pot at 6 AM without worrying about waking her up. It's not totally silent, but it's way more subdued than I expected from a drip machine. And honestly, it just looks good sitting on the counter. Fellow clearly cares about design, and everything about this machine feels intentional. The interface makes sense, the carafe pours cleanly, the build quality is solid. You can tell they sweated the details. But here's what really sold my household on it: the guided brew modes. My wife actually uses them and makes her own coffee now. She's stoked about it, and I'm no longer the only person in the house who can make a decent cup. She's not dependent on me anymore, and that's been a game-changer for both of us. Whether she wants a single cup or I need to brew a full pot, the machine just handles it. There's an app too if you want to get nerdy with settings, but honestly the controls on the machine itself are so intuitive I barely use it. I guess what I'm saying is this: if you're committed to the manual brewing life and have all the time in the world, keep doing your thing. But if your life has gotten busier (kids, hosting, just wanting your mornings back) and you've been holding out because you don't want to compromise on taste, the Aiden is worth looking at. It's not replacing those Saturday mornings when I actually want to slow down and do a proper pour-over. It's replacing the weekday mornings when I just need good coffee without the ceremony. I wish I'd bought this thing a year ago.

I purchased this coffee maker as a gift for my son, and it ended up being a huge hit. Right out of the box, it was easy to set up and feels very well made. One of the best parts is the variety of coffee options it offers—there are so many settings and styles to choose from, which makes it fun to try something different depending on your mood. Whether you want a quick cup in the morning or something a little more specialty-style, this machine handles it all really well. The coffee comes out hot, flavorful, and consistent every time. It’s also simple enough to use daily, but still has enough features to keep things interesting. Overall, this has been a great purchase and an excellent gift. I’d definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a versatile coffee maker with lots of options to enjoy.

I've been using the Aiden every morning for a few weeks.. It just makes really good coffee. Like, noticeably better than my pourover setup from before. Clean, smooth, not bitter, and super consistent. I don’t have to babysit it or overthink anything, which I appreciate. The brew settings tell you exactly how much coffee to grind, and the water tank adds the right amount of water as well - plus the temperature is set for optimal brewing based on preference of light, med or dark brew. SO many more options than just dumping in coffee grounds and guessing the amount of water like a normal drip machine. It also looks great on the counter and doesn’t feel cheap or plasticky at all. Setup was easy, and once I figured out my grind + amount, it’s been on autopilot. Only (minor) thing to know: no hot plate. So if you brew a full pot and let it sit, it’ll cool down faster than a traditional coffee maker. Not a huge deal for me since I usually drink it right away, but worth mentioning. Lots of people recommend a thermal carafe if that's an issue for you. Overall, if you care about how your coffee tastes and want something aesthetically pleasing, this thing’s worth it.

Coupled with my existing coffee grinder, the Fellow Aiden makes great coffee. I bought it because it had all the functions I was looking for: water temperature control, coffee ratio adjustment, a bloom cycle and a carafe style pot. The guided settings are perfect for making a quick coffee in between work meetings (for when you just need a cup of coffee fast). The click wheel is simple and intuitive. I also like the fact that it comes with two baskets so that you can make a single cup of coffee with a #2 cone filter, or a large batch of coffee for when you have guests.

This coffee maker is fancy and high-tech, sleek and modern but easy to use. You can choose the type of brew you want or you can let the machine decide for you depending on how much ground coffee you add to the basket. It also offers options for scheduling which is nice, it feels like someone made a cup of coffee for you in the morning when you wake up. The carafe is stylish, pours nicely and keeps the coffee hot. It is easy to clean, which was one of my main complaints about my previous coffee maker (Breville with grinder incorporated). Also easy to lift and fill the water resevoir. It is quiet and allows you to choose the alarm when the coffee is brewed. Overall very happy with the purchase, I am learning how to make the perfect cup of coffee for myself and I am getting closer!

I am absolutely thrilled with my new Fellow Aiden coffee maker. This is one of those rare products that looks fantastic on the counter and performs even better than advertised. The design is clean, modern, and solid—everything feels high-quality and thoughtfully engineered, from the materials to the smooth operation of every component. The brew controls are outstanding. The Aiden manages bloom, pulse, temperature, and flow with impressive precision, and the results speak for themselves: consistently rich, smooth, perfectly extracted coffee. It gives you the kind of control and consistency you’d expect from a much more expensive machine, but at a price that feels like a genuinely great value. I also appreciate the overall build quality. Nothing feels flimsy or rushed—this is a sturdy, well-constructed brewer that feels built to last. It’s obvious Fellow put real care into the engineering. All in all, this coffee maker has exceeded every expectation. Great looks, excellent features, rock-solid performance, and truly delicious coffee. Highly recommended!
