FellowAiden Precision Drip Coffee Maker, Thermal Carafe, Perfect Temperature Control, Bloom Cycle, Single Serve to 10 Cup Capacity, Matte Black

I might have a hard time figuring out what NOT to like about this machine. Sure, it's a little on the pricey side but what it is capable of is quite impressive. Best of all, it makes "The perfect cup of coffee" every time!Ready to read more? Then buckle up!...I can't recommend enough to read the directions. Setting it up isn't that difficult - it just takes some time.Getting the perfect cup of coffee? That's going to take a few trial runs and I **HIGHLY** recommend using a scale measured in grams. My wife and I make an 8 cup pot of coffee each morning and we use the standard ratio of 1:16 which asks for 75 grams of dark roast. At first, my wife didn't follow the directions and tried to do things the way we did with our old coffee pot - NOOOO!!! This device is meant for making a perfect cup or pot of coffee so following the recommendations is crucial for success! Normal brew coffee is a 1:16 water to grounds ratio. Want it stronger? Lower the ratio (i.e. 1:15 or 1:14). Want it weaker, raise the ratio (i.e. 1:20). The Fellow Aiden is meant to make coffee how YOU prefer it. Just take my advice and use a scale or buy one - you won't be sorry you did.We personally just use the guided brew but I personally have a profile set up should I want a stronger cup of coffee than what my wife likes. I have now made a pot of coffee and I've also made a smaller 3 cup batch which requires using a different filter. What's great is the machine will tell you to switch the filter container and swap the hose to single cup vs. batch brew. 8 cups of coffee takes exactly 10 minutes. 3 cups takes about 6 minutes. A one and a half cup takes only 4 minutes. When it brews coffee, it is very quiet. This thing is AWESOME!The carafe is nice too, it does keep things nice and hot for at least an hour but we're usually pouring our morning cup(s) within 30 minutes of it automatically brewing. Some reviews complain about it not keeping coffee hot? Well drink it after it's done brewing because that's when it is best!Setting up the timer is extremely simple and we prefer doing it on our phone just because it's a larger viewable real-estate vs the circular window.Just be careful! When testing this and learning how to use it, we left a batch of coffee in the carafe and forgot to empty it. We woke up this morning to a floor with coffee on it that we had to clean up. The machine does not have an overflow sensor on it and since it's not glass, you can't see if there is something inside of it. Not the machines fault but something to be aware of!Ultimately, if this appliance can last us a good amount of time, we will be happy. Coffee makers don't seem to last as long as they used to. The machine looks great and it is a nice compact form that SHOULD fit in most counter spaces as you can see in my photos.In conclusion, I do recommend it for how well it makes coffee and how configurable it is to your own personal taste(s). I'm not an expert but I enjoy a nice cup of coffee in the morning. This excels at doing just that!
