they would like to present them. The focus is perfect consistency and ease of use with no learning curve. We want more people to buy more specialty coffee around the larger market, and the way to bridge the cap is convenience.   \n\n\nWe offer the reusable dripper to allow folks with a larger desire for experimenting and tinkering to expand out of that box and try new things, but it's not at all required for using the machine. While a real pourover obviously takes a bit longer than a k-cup, the quality returns are huge.

Bought the coffee beans. My Xbloom was 3 days old. Asked the barista the recipe he used, temperature, number of pours, bloom, ratio. Went home, grinder set at 55, water at 92C, three pours, bloom, ratio 1:16. Brewed. Measured it with the DiFluid. Was in the middle of the far right line of the SCA square.  Meaning medium strength, more on the bitter side. But the flavor was there. And man, it was better than the one in the coffee shop. Tweaked the grinder to 60, perfect flavor for me and my wife. A hint of bitterness in a sea of grape flavored delicious coffee. I redid the brew every day in the past, four days. Same great taste, every day, better than the on in the shop.

Purchased my Aiden on Amazon 2 months ago.  Made great coffee for 3 weeks and then the “Add water” message popped up (when the tank was full).  Customer service said my water was too hard (I was using spring water) and that was tripping a sensor.  Replaced and got a second unit which I used tap water with.  Two weeks into that one, “Add water” error pops up (again, when the tank was full”.  Again, customer service said it was still my water.  I ran the descaling procedure as suggested and the add water error continued.  Customer service (was escalated to a manager) gave me the option of refunding my money or getting a third unit with a “new filter system”.  I opted for the newer unit over the refund as I did enjoy the coffee.  New unit arrived and I used nestle pure life filtered water.  Ten days into the new unit….Add water error shows up.  Just got my money back as I’d had enuf.  Bottom line…coffee is good, unit is poorly designed.  Save yourself the aggregation $400….do not buy this machine.","subreddit":"Coffee"},{"url":"https://www.reddit.com/r/FellowProducts/comments/1hb7bqq/is_the_aiden_worth_it/m1ek2hm/","type":"comment","title":"Balanced review highlighting software and sensor issues but excellent coffee","author":"kirksan","ref_id":"r_e_6","thread":{"url":"https://www.reddit.com/r/FellowProducts/comments/1hb7bqq/is_the_aiden_worth_it/","title":"is the aiden worth it","subreddit":"FellowProducts"},"excerpt":"It’s got a few growing pains, but it’s well worth it IMHO. The software has a long way to go, missing key features and a bit buggy; they have released one feature update though, so that’s promising. If we see regular updates with new features the software should be in good shape in a year or two. If they don’t release software regularly that would be disappointing.\n\nThe build quality isn’t bad, but I bet they’ll make changes in later versions. The water reservoir’s sensor seems to be a bit fiddly, that’s something they’ll probably fix. Same with the carafe presence sensor, although perhaps not as bad.\n\nThe carafe does not hold heat as well as it could, it’s not horrible, but it could be significantly better with proper vacuum walls. I wouldn’t be surprised if they release a better carafe, perhaps even offer it as an upgrade. They do have other products that fill the role if you’re using manual brew, but an improved carafe would be a huge upgrade.\n\nI haven’t tried Fellow Drops yet, but the Aiden makes excellent coffee with the fancy beans I buy. It’s head and tails better than the Ratio 8 I was using, and so far hasn’t broken, which is also better than the Ratio 8.

I mean it really traps in heat - so even with lighter roasts (unless they’re Nordic / like ultra light) I drop the temp 5-10 degrees from what I’d use making a pour over of the same thing, at least. That tends to help quite a bit!\n\nFor Nordic / really really light roast profiles I bump the bloom time up significantly (like seriously 60 seconds) to allow for the delineation of flavors (that stereo effect you’re looking for, OP) - while keeping the brew temp high. I also add more pulses for increased agitation in these cases.\n\nAs a trained ex-barista with almost 10 years in the industry, Aiden beats me at complexity in the cup sometimes - and the way it beats me especially for the denser coffees (that aren’t super super lightly roasted, just standard light roast non-heavy process coffees), it helps (almost counter intuitively) to bring down the temp and in some cases grind a bit coarser to increase surface area for water contact and flow. This will compensate for the crazy heat retention and allow it to be a benefit toward final delineation of flavors in the cup, in my experience. Adding a few more pulses for agitation can be a benefit, too!\n\nHope this helps!","subreddit":"pourover"},{"url":"https://www.reddit.com/r/pourover/comments/1itb2vs/the_fellow_aiden_review_james_hoffmann/mdq673k/","type":"comment","title":"Criticism of Aiden's circular screen and form-over-function design","author":"xavierfox42","ref_id":"r_e_3","thread":{"url":"https://www.reddit.com/r/pourover/comments/1itb2vs/the_fellow_aiden_review_james_hoffmann/","title":"the fellow aiden review james hoffmann","subreddit":"pourover"},"excerpt":"I don't think it would take a genius to realize that tiny circular screen and no back button was a bad idea.

Both look well built, the electric internals of the EKG may not be. \n* For pourover these pour very nicely. I have brewed both large and small batches and they excel in both. Unfortunately this means that the pour is slow for anything else. \n\nIn conclusion, if I were to buy a new kettle now, I would buy something else, IF I could find a kettle that would seem to be of good quality and look nice. But if the options are the same they were 2 years ago, would still buy Stagg EKG because of the looks.","subreddit":"JamesHoffmann"}]},"generated_at":"2025-03-07T10:00:00Z","conversation_summary":{"gotchas":[{"gotcha":"Very slow maximum flow rate limits use beyond pour-over coffee.","severity":"medium"},{"gotcha":"Potential reliability issues: temperature sensors and heating elements may fail after 1-3 years.","severity":"high"},{"gotcha":"The dial/button can become finicky over time, requiring multiple presses.","severity":"medium"},{"gotcha":"Paint may chip or flake on colored models after a few years of use.","severity":"low"}],"one_liner":"Reddit users generally praise the Fellow Stagg EKG Pro for its excellent pour-over performance and striking design, but widely criticize its high price, questionable long-term reliability, and unhelpful customer support.","sentiment":{"label":"mixed","score":-0.1,"explanation":"While the kettle is highly regarded for its aesthetics and precise pour control, frequent reports of failures within a few years and poor customer service lead to a mixed-to-slightly-negative overall sentiment."},"use_cases":[{"evidence":["r_e_1","r_e_5","r_e_6"],"use_case":"Pour over coffee"}],"top_themes":[{"theme":"Aesthetic Appeal","stance":"positive","evidence":["r_e_1","r_e_4","r_e_6"]},{"theme":"Reliability and Quality Control","stance":"mixed","evidence":["r_e_3","r_e_5","r_e_6"]},{"theme":"Pour Control and Flow Rate","stance":"mixed","evidence":["r_e_1","r_e_5","r_e_6"]},{"theme":"Value for Money","stance":"negative","evidence":["r_e_1","r_e_4","r_e_5"]},{"theme":"Customer Service","stance":"negative","evidence":["r_e_3"]}],"comparisons":[{"summary":"Bonavita is cheaper and reliable but lacks the Stagg's aesthetics and has an annoying auto-shutoff when lifted from base.","evidence":["r_e_2"],"compared_to":"Bonavita"},{"summary":"The Stagg heats faster and pours more slowly for better control than the OXO gooseneck, but is considered overpriced compared to OXO.","evidence":["r_e_5"],"compared_to":"OXO"}]}},"product_insights":[{"title":"Verified claims","type":"key_value","items":[{"value":"Half typical max flow rate with laminar stream;

I've owned both, here's my 2¢. I live in Europe, so power related issues do differ compared to US.\n\nStagg: \n\n* Thin bottom, slow on induction\n* Thermometer is pretty useless.\n\nStagg EKG:\n\n* Quite slow compared to typical electric kettles.\n* First one lasted exactly 2 years. Luckily we have this thing called product liability, got a new one, but not that sure that it'll last any longer.\n* Easy to use, temperature control is very nice.\n* No beep, which I like a lot.\n\nBoth:\n\n* Both are bit tiny, few dl larger capacity would be preferred. \n* Unfortunately there are very few pourover kettles that look decent, Stagg IS good looking. Both look well built, the electric internals of the EKG may not be. \n* For pourover these pour very nicely. I have brewed both large and small batches and they excel in both. Unfortunately this means that the pour is slow for anything else. \n\nIn conclusion, if I were to buy a new kettle now, I would buy something else, IF I could find a kettle that would seem to be of good quality and look nice. But if the options are the same they were 2 years ago, would still buy Stagg EKG because of the looks. I don't want an ugly kettle on my tabletop.","subreddit":"JamesHoffmann"}]},"generated_at":"2025-04-06T12:00:00Z","conversation_summary":{"gotchas":[{"gotcha":"Slow pour makes it unsuitable for anything other than pour-over coffee;
