Fellow Aiden

Overview

The Fellow Aiden represents the latest generation of specialty drip coffee brewing, designed by the San Francisco-based company that has become synonymous with precision coffee equipment. Fellow earned its reputation through the Stagg EKG kettle and Ode grinder, and the Aiden brings that same design-engineering philosophy to automatic batch brewing. The standout feature is the Fellow app integration via WiFi, which provides access to an ever-growing library of brew recipes created by champion baristas and leading roasters worldwide. Each recipe specifies bloom time, bloom ratio, brew temperature, pulse pattern, and total brew time — and the Aiden executes them automatically with precision impossible to achieve manually. You can save favorites, customize parameters, and even create your own recipes. The SCA Gold Cup certified brew engine uses PID temperature control and a unique showerhead design that pulses water delivery for even saturation. The Aiden produces up to 40 ounces per batch, and the included vacuum-insulated carafe keeps coffee hot for hours. The machine design is characteristically Fellow — matte finishes, clean lines, considered proportions, and a small color screen that displays brew progress. For the digitally-native specialty coffee enthusiast who wants to explore different brewing profiles without manually pouring, the Aiden is the most innovative drip brewer on the market.

The Fellow Aiden comes equipped with PID temperature control for precise brewing, pre-infusion for even extraction. It features a thermoblock boiler system made of stainless steel. The vibratory pump delivers consistent pressure for optimal extraction.

Priced at $365, the Fellow Aiden is designed for home baristas looking for quality without breaking the bank.

In terms of build quality, the Fellow Aiden is a substantial machine, weighing in at 3.5 kg, manufactured in United States, drawing 1500W of power. With dimensions of 280 x 208 x 356 mm (W×D×H), make sure you have adequate counter space. The built-in water reservoir holds 1250 ml, making it easy to set up anywhere in your kitchen.
