This is good news for drip coffee lovers. The Fellow isn’t just WIRED’s favorite coffee maker: When it was introduced last year, it looked like every goalpost in drip coffee had been moved. I might call it “the black or white box from which unbridled perfection emerges.”

You can now add colors “Salted Chocolate”, “Sesame” and “Woody” to black and white, but the new colors are not on sale.

However, the Fellow Aiden sale amounts to a Prime Day blitz. Representatives for Fellow told WIRED a week ago that they would be sitting down for October’s Big Deals Day… before now suddenly launching huge sales of 15 to 20 percent on some of their most popular products, including Aiden.

However, this deal is almost nostalgic. After the tariffs took effect, Fellow resisted raising its prices for a while. But in the end, Phil relented. In July, they announced they would have to significantly raise the cost of some of WIRED’s favorite coffee machines.
