Hello. I recently thrifted a Fellow Aiden for around 100 bucks. Aside from not having a box, it was brand new and hadn't been used. I got it without really knowing what I was getting myself into. It's a Fellow product at 75% off, so I bought it.

So far, it's putting out solid cups of coffee with the default settings, but I want to see how much farther I can take it.

Does anyone out there have one of these things? I'd love to hear about your brewing process and the settings you tinker with.

fellow is high quality stuff that's also well-designed. it's not cheap though.

the aiden is like a next-level drip brewer: it's got a peristaltic pump instead of a bubble pump so you can specify ratios to the milliliter, it's got a servo controlling the drip valve so you can program steep time to the second, it's got graphing capabilities to show temperature over time in different areas... it's proper nerd shit.

That’s pretty cool! It sounds almost like lab equipment!
