A Fellow Aiden profile for the coffee in your hand.
Pick where the beans are from, how they were processed and how dark they're roasted. Then pick your grinder. You get every Aiden setting plus a grind number to start from.
1. The coffee
Pick the tasting notes on the bag. If you pick two, list the first one on the bag first. Leave it blank and the tool guesses from the origin and process.
2. Your gear

Grinder or brewer not listed? Grind numbers off for yours? Tell me and I'll add or fix it.
Your note comes straight to me, with a link to the recipe you were looking at.

Questions
Why start from the coffee and not the machine?
Fellow's presets are built around roast level. Two light roasts can need different settings. A washed Ethiopian wants hot water and lots of agitation to show its florals. A natural from the same farm muddles if you push it that hard. Starting from the origin and process gets you closer on the first brew.
What if my grinder isn't listed?
Use the grinder closest to yours and treat the number as a direction. Most grinders work in the same order: lower is finer. If the cup is sour, go finer. If it's bitter, go coarser.
Single serve or batch?
Single serve uses the cone basket and pulses matter. Batch uses the flat bottom basket and one pulse. Batch beds drain faster, so the grind is usually a step coarser on the dial and you adjust from taste.
Why one change at a time?
If you change the grind and the temperature together and the cup gets better, you don't know which one did it. One change per brew gets you to a great cup faster.
