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 a pretty decent coffee brand. They’re a little confusing in their position, some stuff is super high end (their kettle and scale specifically) where other stuff is squarely in the budget end (their grinder for example). I own their kettle personally and have considered picking up the machine in OP’s post. Their scale is absolutely massive for a coffee scale though, so not really for me. But it is very well made. Meanwhile their grinder is plastic body and priced similarly to other good-but-cheap grinders. It’s kind of funny that they have a kettle, a scale, and a grinder all at around the same price. It’s also funny to see their name on lists of high end kettles and also on budget grinders. I really like their style though, they’ve got a very distinct product design that I’m personally a big fan of.
