What it is
The Aiden doesn’t move a spout around the way the xBloom or Spiral Luxe do. Instead it uses a dual shower head and controls the bloom, pulse timing and temperature, which gets it much closer to pour-over than an ordinary drip machine. It comes up in almost every automatic pour-over roundup.
- Grinder / scale: neither, so bring your own
- Capacity: swappable single-serve and batch baskets, up to 10 cups, with a double-walled carafe
- Controls: brew ratio, bloom, pulses and temperature down to the degree, and it can change temperature during the brew. The app lets you save profiles and schedule brews.
- Certification: SCA certified (2024)
- Warranty: 2 years, 3 if you register it
Who it’s for
People who want pour-over-style control but sometimes need a whole pot, and who already own a good grinder.
