The WIRED Reviews team's go-to coffee maker, the Fellow Aiden, is currently over 20 percent off in Fellow's Refurbished Gear Section.
The Aiden is a hit not just for its stylish, midcentury-modern design, but also for its user-friendly operation and fantastic coffee output. It offers a balance between simple, one-button brewing and advanced customization for coffee enthusiasts, allowing adjustments for roast level, brewing temperature, bloom duration, and even local elevation. For those who prefer an automated experience, the "Guided Brew" setting on the LED menu lets you select your brew size, use a color-coded basket (which fits standard paper filters), and add the recommended coffee amount for a perfect 200-degree Fahrenheit cup.
Coffee aficionados can dive deeper with the Fellow mobile app, which enables custom brew settings and the creation of a personal recipe library, making it easy to replicate those exceptional coffee moments.
Beyond hot coffee, the Aiden can also whip up a delicious cold brew. Using hot-bloomed coffee and a Japanese-style slow-drip method, it produces a light-bodied, aromatic cold brew in about 90 minutes. The coffee brews at room temperature, so it's ideal for preparing the night before and chilling, or brewing a bit longer to serve over ice.
This and other Fellow coffee machines and kettles are available at a discount through the brand's "Rebrew" refurbished program. Each refurbished unit undergoes a thorough restoration and testing process at Fellow's headquarters, including deep cleaning, performance checks, and component replacements. These items also come with a one-year limited warranty.
Also featured in the refurbished section are two Fellow electric kettles: the Corvo EKG Pro, praised for its temperature precision and long hold time, perfect for delicate teas (currently 20 percent off); and the Stagg EKG Electric Kettle, a favorite among pour-over enthusiasts for its smooth, gooseneck spout.
