Introducing Aiden Precision Coffee Maker, pour-over quality coffee with the press of a button. Sip a single serving or brew a 10-cup batch. Reserve your Aiden today: fellowproducts...
There is not a centering magnet, but the carafe and base were designed to "nest" to ensure alignment every use. And, we have a sensor to ensure that the carafe is in present before brewing.
I don't even use auto-drip coffee makers, but I want this just for the design and quality. I have so many Fellow products and they are one of the few companies who put a lot of effort into design and build quality, over just getting flashy products to market.
We have the fellow ode as a grinder but it’s paired with our Moccamaster. For a small period of time our Ode had issues. Support for the product was so slow the issue fixed itself over the week or two while waiting for responses. The moccamaster on the other hand is a tank with zero issues, and I’ve heard techniforms customer support is amazing. I would go with a a moccamaster and not look back. If you want features… and technology.. yep this may be it. If you just want damn good coffee that’s consistent and reliable… it’s the moccamaster hands down
I'd really look at the warranty situation before doing that. Moccamaster is five years and after that it's a really low flat flee where they fix not only the issue but anything else they find, and have it back to you in a couple days. Phenomenal service, and not a lot to go wrong since there's no pump in the Moccamaster.
Seems great, but I guarantee the $365 price tag puts off basically anyone that wasn't already a coffee nerd. It's going to need something to drop that down to entice more into the space.
You’re not wrong, but Fellow’s audience is coffee nerds. Almost all of their products are around this price tag. It’s in the same range as what I anticipate being its main competition for design-forward dripper: Moccamaster and Breville.
Important question: can we trade in our Ratio Six for the Aiden? lol. This is what I wanted from a home brewer all along. What do I do with the old brewer now?
Definitely curious what James Hoffman says. But I was watching a YT video at Tom's Grinder Lab on the Aiden. In the demo, the guy used a paper filter. Are there gold/reusable filters for the Aiden? I already use the Ode2 and the coffee *may* be better with a paper filter, but I like the ease of a reusable filter as an option.
Can't wait to see some reviews! I'm not just a coffee snob, but a knob snob as well, the knob press at 0:16 looked a little wobbly. Please make the knob feel good!
@@f.ence.hahaha yeah I would like it to feel solid. It just adds a different experience, like you know it was assembled with care. Same thing with buttons.
You can choose! Instant Brew will brew whatever is in the tank, just like a standard coffee maker; but Guided Brew and Profiles will dispense only the amount of water you select.
This company is greatest you preorder and then they sell in on amazons in two day while you wait for it to ship mid month in October wow what a great company
How easy do you think it would be to use this brewer to do a Japanese iced coffee. It would be quicker than the cold brew function and can be brewed for single serve as well.
I think It would be cool to have presets loaded from some well respected baristas. Settings that have temperature, pulse and all that based on what they prefer. Very cool machine nonetheless. I hope It lives up to the hype!
Of course it sounds like the best machine out there given all the features. However, seems like the more complexity and features means more things to break or go wrong. Thats a thought I keep in mind before purchasing..well anything for the most part. Hope thats not the case here but too early to know.
i'd like to see more on the water tank, i have the breville precision brewer and the tank doesnt come off so i have to fill a cup and pour it in ever time.
I frankly am struggling with finding a market for this product as a long time fellow fan. They'll really need to work on selling it to non-coffee nerds, because most who have a drip brewer already have a moccamaster, ratio, or Breville precision (late to market) or they're so dialed in, they'll settle for nothing less than a true pour over. I think this could make fantastic coffee, perhaps better than the aforementioned drip brewers, but they'll probably struggle to move units initially while this product finds its footing. I'm hoping it does well since I like Fellow as a company, but I'm not at a place where I'd buy one.
I want to come back here and say that I stand corrected, I watched Nick's breakdown w/ Brian and there are so many incredible features on this it puts the Breville to shame. Absolutely nuts levels of customizability, I would love to get a chance to taste coffee from this to see if it could supplant my Moccamaster. Really cool stuff, great work Fellow team.
Saw your updated comment but just wanted to add that I’m the perfect demographic for this product. I really like quality coffee, but I have to be at work early in the morning and I’m not enough of a morning person to take the time to make a proper pour over. I’m tired of settling for Keurig. Scheduling (practically) pour over coffee with full customization in a sealed chamber with night before grinds is a game changer. First time Fellow buyer and put my preorder in.
A bit disappointed it doesn't have immersion brewing capability. Rarely busted out a v60 at home since 2012 (AeroPress almost every day), and certainly not since I started using the Clever Dripper a year ago. I guess the immersion process is pretty simple--and you still need to have a scale on deck to weigh your beans. Maybe its just an unnecessary product!
From the website: "Aiden is built with high-quality, food-grade plastic (BPA-free), stainless steel, and silicone so that you can brew with peace of mind."
Hailie from Fellow here! There's not a dedicated turntable, however the pitcher does rotate easily in its base. The basket itself nests into to the pitcher via a connector, so it can be rotated freely in its base without leaking any liquid
it's worth for versatility and engineering/r&d/tech compared to hiroria v60 with a kickstarter price of 399. hiroria is a lot of flash, but fellow a lot of substance. engineers care about substance. fellow is one of the few tech driven coffee companies.
Love the glass carafe on my Moccamaster, the clear water tank. The Moccamoaster tastes great, of course, but... I like to see the coffee brewing. Something satisfying in that... IMHO.
Looks fancy, but I'll keep my Moccamaster. It's fast, makes great coffee, and its easy to bloom coffee. The carafe on my Moccamaster is made of glass. Not a fan of the dark (metal?) pitcher of the Aiden. There is something visually satisfying about seeing the coffee brew; watching the clear water transform to rich coffee, seeing that "pot of coffee" in the glass, topping off someone's coffee, seeing the coffee pour. Small thing, but... it's all part of that cuppa.
Isn't this same as Breville Precision Brewer but with the app? Breville has a pour over adapter kit too. I am not sure what's innovative about Aiden. I personally prefer Technivom Moccamaster. I find the automated pour overs are too gimmicky. The best so far was Ratio Eight. Hario also has Hikaru, which is super expensive for what it does.
Wow this looks like Native Instruments designed a coffee machine (big compliment on the industrial design) ;) I am an espresso man (using pods unfortunately)
All shipping is crazy now. I just got a quote on shipping a small narrow table made of cast aluminum that weighs only 42 pounds and it was twice the price of the item, nearly $600 for shipping.
Hopefully you don't build these in China, have plenty of spares on hand (carafe and water tank) and redesign the hopper on the Ode and I will buy the Ode grinder again. The Ode was almost perfect, except that I have to feed the beans in by shaking or hitting the machine.
I have and agree the Precision Brewer is great, but if I’m reading their website correctly, it looks like you can play around with the bloom volume and the pulse timing of the bloom, both which you can’t do with the Breville. I’ll pre-order to try it out, knowing if I don’t like it, I can return it and just stick with my precision brewer.
The crazy wiring at the back at 1:40 looked like the rug you sweep all the garbage under 😮. I can’t believe they’re saying it’s the best on the market and no one has tried it. Just a tip guys, this is your baby. Turn off comments.
Pity you went plastic. Not touching anything plastic as plastic leaches (all types) into the substances we drink / eat so yeah hard no from me, I'll pass till you keep up with some better quality non plastic material (either glass or stainless steel)
I'll wait for James Hoffman's review
Can’t wait for that video.
Absolutely! @jameshoffmann
Agreed.
Me too
Same
Important question: is there a magnet that automatically aligns the carafe?
It wouldn’t be a fellow product without it.
There is not a centering magnet, but the carafe and base were designed to "nest" to ensure alignment every use. And, we have a sensor to ensure that the carafe is in present before brewing.
I don't even use auto-drip coffee makers, but I want this just for the design and quality. I have so many Fellow products and they are one of the few companies who put a lot of effort into design and build quality, over just getting flashy products to market.
I think their design is great...but Fellow's quality control has been notoriously bad in the company's history.
@@vancitycanucks Elaborate? I've owned Fellow products for years and never had any issues.
@@f.ence.same
Nice to see Michael Fabian is alive and well. Loved his channel.
"Coffee Educator and Coffee Nerd" lol -- Michael where have you been
Wow-earlier this week I was torn between the Ration Six and the Mocccamaster, and decided to wait because I could not make up my mind. Glad I waited!
I love my Moccamaster though! It makes GREAT coffee and the shocking thing is how fast it brews. Priceless.
We have the fellow ode as a grinder but it’s paired with our Moccamaster. For a small period of time our Ode had issues.

I've had a Moccamaster for a few years, but ordered the Aiden.
yeah, been saving up for the ratio 8 but may just end up getting this one
Looks great. How long will I have to wait for a white version to match my other Fellow products? 😅
Any release planned for the european market?
They're working on (CE) certification, which takes time and is a bit unpredictable.
You have added many features that Ratio missed the ball on. Love my Ratio Six, but wish it had more features like this.
If this had an ode 2 grinder built in, it would be even better.
I have a moccmaster already, but this has me considering an upgrade.
Same, and I upgraded 😊
I'd really look at the warranty situation before doing that. Moccamaster is five years and after that it's a really low flat flee where they fix not only the issue but anything else they find, and have it back to you in a couple days. Phenomenal service, and not a lot to go wrong since there's no pump in the Moccamaster.
Same here! Moccamaster owner, but ordered the Aiden to try out.
@@upscalebohemian5372 it has a 3 year warranty if you register once you get it.
You've got the gold standard already with Moccamaster. Don't bother with American shite.
Seems great, but I guarantee the $365 price tag puts off basically anyone that wasn't already a coffee nerd. It's going to need something to drop that down to entice more into the space.
To be fair, that's kinda already their market. I can't imagine too many non-coffee nerds are buying $350 grinders and $170(+) kettles
You’re not wrong, but Fellow’s audience is coffee nerds. Almost all of their products are around this price tag. It’s in the same range as what I anticipate being its main competition for design-forward dripper: Moccamaster and Breville.
I’m surprised it’s ONLY $365 from them.
@@yousawnothing644 I honestly would have expected closer to like $500.
I was actualy pleasantly surprised by the price point. :)
I’ll be ready when an Aidan + Ode bundle goes live!
Honestly the included 3 bags of beans for presale is the better deal imo
@@jbnelson its only 75 bucks
@@Lavender11930 and the Aiden + Ode will be like $50

When will a 220v version be available?
Nick is exactly how I would imagine a coffee genius to be like
As someone named Aidan, I had a chuckle watching this.
Must be awkward where everybody wants to brew you. 😅
Yeah, they can't get enough of my precise temperature control.
When will you have availability for UK order?
Pretty sweet! Finally something new on the market. Does the user select how much water is dispensed or does the brewer simply empty the tank?
You can choose! Instant Brew will brew whatever is in the tank, just like a standard coffee maker; but Guided Brew and Profiles will dispense only the amount of water you select.
looks cool, but what I'm gonna do with my moccamaster? :)

Do you have any plans for Ode Gen 3 production perhaps?? :) ;;;

Thats a thought I keep in mind before purchasing..well anything for the most part. Hope thats not the case here but too early to know.
will it come in matte white to match my grinder thooooo? 😎
Cool. What’s the subscription service for using the app!?
i'd like to see more on the water tank, i have the breville precision brewer and the tank doesnt come off so i have to fill a cup and pour it in ever time.
Wait, Nick why’d you chop off the beard?!!
Will it come in additional colors? Please say yes.
Beautiful looking bit of kit

Does it have plastic parts?
From the website:
"Aiden is built with high-quality, food-grade plastic (BPA-free), stainless steel, and silicone so that you can brew with peace of mind."
if the base of the decanter has a rotating turntable to compliment the shower it would make it even better
Hailie from Fellow here! There's not a dedicated turntable, however the pitcher does rotate easily in its base. The basket itself nests into to the pitcher via a connector, so it can be rotated freely in its base without leaking any liquid
Does it come with build in grinder ?
Curious how this compares to a Moccamaster. Do you think that makes bad coffee?
Gamechanger! Looks amazing, great work on an awesome new product!
Has Fellow gotten their temperature sensor issues under control yet? (Stagg EKG shenanigans)
it's worth for versatility and engineering/r&d/tech compared to hiroria v60 with a kickstarter price of 399. hiroria is a lot of flash, but fellow a lot of substance. engineers care about substance. fellow is one of the few tech driven coffee companies.
How tall is it with the lid open?
What are the materials? Please tell me it’s not all plastic!
Ehhhh. How does this compete against the Brevile/Sage and Moccomaster?
Love the glass carafe on my Moccamaster, the clear water tank. The Moccamoaster tastes great, of course, but... I like to see the coffee brewing. Something satisfying in that... IMHO.
Get this shipping to the UK

Felt same
How do you clean the shower head?
Would an OLED screen have been THAT MUCH more expensive to put in it?
As a Ode Gen 1 owner, I recommend pass the first generation after they get feedbacks for Gen 2
Isn't this same as Breville Precision Brewer but with the app? Breville has a pour over adapter kit too. I am not sure what's innovative about Aiden. I personally prefer Technivom Moccamaster. I find the automated pour overs are too gimmicky. The best so far was Ratio Eight. Hario also has Hikaru, which is super expensive for what it does.
Wow this looks like Native Instruments designed a coffee machine (big compliment on the industrial design) ;) I am an espresso man (using pods unfortunately)
I know it’s all BPA free, but I’d gladly pay a little more for less plastic components. Replace with some more glass and metal! Or even ceramic
It looks like sharp ibarista will be a better choice.
Looks sick
Dang, I want it
Looks awesome!
Thumb up for a white one!!
Nick said it’s coming!
Its beautiful 🖤
If it could do 1-4 cups, I'm sold! 1 or 10 is a bit much.
it can brew any volume between 1 and 10 cups! For example, you can select 1 cup, 2 cups, 3 cups... etc.
Does Aiden tell you what grind setting to use on Ode?
Is he caraf thermo…?
I wait for the white version, where the early love...
Would have preordered it immediately if it didn’t cost $125 to ship to Canada 😢
All shipping is crazy now. I just got a quote on shipping a small narrow table made of cast aluminum that weighs only 42 pounds and it was twice the price of the item, nearly $600 for shipping.
Buying just for the RGB ! 😂
Drip coffee works and tastes great. The rest is still trying.
I'm digging this.
System malfunction: transaction misplaced in the realm of invalid emails!
I saw the fellow logo and immediately knew…I cannot afford this
Hopefully you don't build these in China, have plenty of spares on hand (carafe and water tank) and redesign the hopper on the Ode and I will buy the Ode grinder again. The Ode was almost perfect, except that I have to feed the beans in by shaking or hitting the machine.
Super solid. I just wish plastic wasn’t used.

Preordered!!
Ship to Mexico please!!! 😢😢😢😢
I cant think for myself. I will wait for others’ opinion on this before i cast judgement
👍
How does this compare to Lance Hendricks approved xBloom?
Well considering it can make more than a cup at a time and has much better extraction rate, plus no required app? For half the price? No brainer imo
