Their Fellow Aiden consistently rivals their V60 pour overs with great pulse brewing and a well-designed carafe; build quality is average.

“this is the first Brewer that consistently regularly competes with my pour overs and in some cases exceeds.”
positiveconsistent

Their Aiden is their daily brewer; a minor shower screen problem was quickly fixed by Fellow.

“I had a minor problem with the shower screen. Upon contacting Fellow. The problem was quickly taken care.”
positive

A year and a half with their Aiden; a display issue was fixed by support within a week.

“I’ve had my Aiden for a year and a half. I did have an issue with the display but CS had me a new one within a week.”
mixed

Has had their Fellow Aiden since launch and loves it.

“I’ve had my Aiden since launch and I love it.”
positive

Their Fellow Aiden felt thin, had a fussy UI, stopped working with errors that descaling couldn't fix, and support was unhelpful.

“tldr: I strongly recommend you do not purchase a Fellow Aiden.”
negativedurability issues

Having owned Bonavitas, two OXOs and a Technivorm KBGT, they find the Fellow Aiden best for single cups and batches by far; longevity issues exist but support is good.

“There are longevity issues with it, but support is good if there are problems.”
positivedurability issues

Zero issues with their Fellow Aiden.

“I have the Fellow Aiden and Ode Gen 2 and have had zero issues.”
positive

Two years with their Fellow Aiden, a few problems, but they love it and prefer it to their Moccamaster.

“I've had it for two years with a few problems, but I love it!”
positive

Finds their new Fellow Aiden way better than their manual pour-over; the cone filter limits it to three cups, but the large basket is nearly as good.

“Dude I find it way better.”
positive

Bought a Fellow Aiden in September with no regrets; many of their best cups of the year came after getting it.

“Bought the Aiden in early September. No regrets. Most of the best cups I’ve had all year were in September after the Aiden.”
positive

First impressions of a new Fellow Aiden: doesn't love the plastic feel and had connection hiccups at setup, but likes the look and the programmable brew profiles.

“Don’t love all the plastic and the overall feel of it, but like the look of it more than I expected. Initial setup had a few connection hiccups”
mixed

Their Aiden made great coffee until the plastic shower head lid cracked; the warranty refurb won't connect to the app and support has been terrible.

“It makes great coffee while it works. Had the shower head lid crack on mine because it’s all cheap plastic.”
negativedurability issues

On their third Fellow Aiden; the showerhead's thin plastic ring disintegrated and they plan an xBloom when this unit dies.

“I also had the showerhead disintegrate btw. Very thin plastic on that ring thats constantly heat cycling.”
negativedurability issues

Their daily-driver Aiden is flimsy, gets wobblier and has persistent firmware and app issues, but makes wonderful, highly customizable coffee once learned.

“It is flimsy, it becomes more wobbly over time and the firmware/app issues are persistent.”

Uses a Fellow Aiden instead of manual pour-over and finds it wonderful for an easy routine.

“So the Aiden is wonderful for lazy people like me.”
positiveeasy to use

Uses a Fellow Aiden with an Ode Gen 2 and has zero regrets.

“Another vote for fellow Aiden, I’ve combined it with a fellow ode gen 2 grinder and have zero regrets”
