I recently trained with the Speciality Coffee Association to become a qualified barista, so it should come as no surprise that while I recommend drip coffee makers in our guide to the best coffee makers, my personal preference is for espresso machines. While drip coffee may be the norm for most Americans, in Britain we stick to espresso, so I'd always associated drip coffee makers with the depressing office batch brews shown on U.S. sitcoms.
Fellow set out to fix all that when it released the Aiden coffee maker — "the machine changing the narrative that automatic drip coffee is synonymous with “bad” coffee." And boy, does it deliver. I've been testing Fellow's new Aiden coffee maker for over a month now, and my beloved espresso machine is gathering dust.
