Why we love it
The Aiden is what happens when pour-over nerds design a drip machine. You can control bloom time, brew temperature, pulse count, and flow rate — or just hit the one-button Instant Brew and let it handle everything. The thermal carafe keeps coffee hot without a hotplate, and the companion app lets you download brew profiles from specialty roasters so you're making coffee exactly as they intended. It's the most customizable drip machine on the market.
