- In this video, I’m diving into the full workflow of brewing coffee with the Fellow Aiden, covering the workflow, brewing profile to tasting notes and coffee extraction.
We’ll go into detail on the elements of a great brew, including grind size, water temperature, and extraction time, so you can create a profile that suits your taste.
Equipment I'm using: Fellow Aiden, Fellow Ode 2, Fellow Stagg EKG, Acaia Pearl
Coffee:
Costa Rica - Raisin Honey Processed
Tasting notes - Lavender, Elderflower, Grape
Variety - Caturra
Altitude - 1800 - 1900m
Light Roast
Good video which shows how well (and easy) Aiden extracts coffee. I agree with your tips to reduce astringency and also to go lower in temperature compared to what you set on your kettle when making a pour over. The environment in the Aiden is sealed and absolutely well controlled and it makes sense to go down in temperature. I also find myself enjoying the coffees (light roasts) around 1.4% TDS and at the same approximate EY as you. I implemented James Hoffmanns take on dark roasts (high bloom temp, 96-99C followed by one pulse, or more, at 80C) which works very well.
So far I’ve only gone as low as 88C on the second pour with a bloom and 2 pulses. Do you get vegetal notes at 80C?
@@SimonAndrewCoffee 99 times out of 100 we drink light roasted coffee so haven't been doing so many dark batches. The last time we made a batch was with a stale dark roast and we got some rubbery notes in the after taste... Can't remember I got vegetal notes earlier on but I will keep that in mind and report back :)
Great video
Thanks!
Great video. Could you provide some good brew profiles for larger batches? I usually pourover about 800mL of coffee in the morning for my wife and I, really looking forward to trying our new Aiden this weekend!
Good video, do you have other brew profiles that you could share? I.e. washed, natural etc
Appreciate it! Stay tuned for my upcoming video on my updated aiden profile
I have found the Aiden to brew bitter coffee... That's with the built in default recipes... Adjusting grind and amount of beans helps but in the end I can still taste bitter. It may be that it's too perfect and exposes the bean quality who knows. I've tried several different bean brands. I need to experiment and make my own recipe and see if I can calm the bitter. The brewer is very advanced but in the end if it can't brew a smooth cup of coffee then what is it's purpose?
Totally agree, with so many options it can definitely get frustrating at times. Since you’ve tested many beans with the current profile, maybe try tweaking a few more parameters. Try to reduce the last pulse temp by 10-15deg or more or cut off the brew earlier to see if it helps with the bitterness.
Honestly just do an AI voiceover if you're not going to do one.
👍
I prefer nothing than those silly AI voice over. Keep up the good work.
No the video is perfect like this
