ALL THE RIGHT PARTS

INSTANT BREW

Just add your preferred amount of coffee and water. We'll take care of the rest.

1. ADD WATER
   
2. ADD BASKET AND FILTER
   
3. ADD COFFEE
   
4. SELECT INSTANT BREW
   

TIP: To make Instant Brew a default profile with a set coffee-to-water ratio, follow this flow: Settings > Instant Brew, enable Advanced Mode, and then select a profile and a quantity. Your Instant Brew recipe will now brew precisely that amount of water instead of using the whole tank.

THE FELLOW APP

Download the Fellow app at fellowproducts.com/app. Connect Aiden Precision Coffee Maker to WiFi and take control.

• Schedule Aiden to start as you wake up.
• Set times for the entire week.
• Adjust settings from anywhere.
• Manage and share brew profiles.
• Update the firmware, so Aiden always has the latest features.

GRIND TIPS

1. The maximum coffee dose for the blue basket is 82.5 grams for standard brewing and 110 grams for cold brew. If dosing exceeds these limits, there is a risk of overflow in the basket.
2. If you notice overflow or mess in the brewing chamber after a brew, don't be afraid to grind your coffee coarser! Aiden extracts your coffee extremely efficiently. A proper brew should leave your shower head nice and clean.

SCHEDULING

Your coffee will be finished brewing at your scheduled time.

WHAT IS A BREW PROFILE?

Think of a Brew Profile like a brew recipe. Customize as many variables as you'd like to create your own, and share it with others. We got you started with our favorite Fellow profiles, created by our in-house Q Graders. You can also download profiles from some of the best roasters in the world in the Fellow app. Once you select a Brew Profile, Aiden will automatically adapt it to the quantity of coffee you'd like to brew.

Here are the variables you can customize in a Brew Profile:

• Temperature
• Ratio
• Bloom ratio
• Bloom duration
• Bloom temperature
• Number of pulses
• Time between pulses
• Pulse temperature

We suggest focusing on temperature and ratio when first creating a new Brew Profile. As you dial in your brew, you can dig deeper to see which other variables need to be tweaked to your tastes. Heads up: when brewing the largest batches with ratios lower than 1:18, the basket may require extra cleaning.

While you can create a Brew Profile directly on Aiden, we recommend downloading the Fellow app for the optimal experience!

Temperature: This is the overall brew temperature. The default temperature is 205°F/96°C.

Ratio: This is your coffee-to water ratio. The default is 1:16, which means one part coffee to 16 parts water.

WHAT IS A BLOOM?
Wetting the coffee grounds to release carbon dioxide for a wellbalanced, better extracted, and more flavorful cup.

Bloom ratio: This is the coffee-to-water ratio of your bloom. The amount of water should be just enough to saturate the bed and let the coffee breathe a bit. This is usually 2 or 3 times the initial weight of the coffee grounds. The default ratio is 1:2.

Bloom duration: This is the time your coffee bed will sit to release carbon dioxide (or degas) after the bloom. The default is 30 seconds.

Bloom temperature: This is the water temperature of the bloom. The default temperature is the same as your brew temperature.

WHAT IS A PULSE?
A pulse is a dose of water that is delivered to the bed of coffee. We use pulses of water during single serve brewing to assist with agitating the coffee bed to get the highest extraction possible.

Number of pulses: This is the total number of pulses you want throughout your brew. The default is 3 pulses for single serve and 1 for batch brew.

Time between pulses: This is the length of time between pulses. The default time is 23 seconds.

Pulse temperature: This can be individually set if, for example, you want an extra hot finish or a colder start. The default temperature is the same as your brew temperature.

TIPS + TRICKS

1. Cleaning is caring!
   We recommend descaling Aiden once every three months.

2. Did you know Aiden can make cold brew? Select Cold Brew under Guided Brew. Be patient with the process—this brewing method is slow and steady to achieve smoother flavors.
   
3. Need more filters? Aiden is compatible with #2 cone filters for single serve and 8-12 cup basket filters for batch brew. You can buy these from fellowproducts.com or at most local grocery stores.
4. We've got your cabinets covered. A silicone seal stops steam from wreaking havoc on your wood.
5. If an eager beaver grabs the carafe or pops open the filter basket lid before the brew is finished, don't worry. We'll pause your brew until the carafe is returned or the lid is shut.
