Beautiful machine, makes great coffee. Noticeably better than my bonavita metropolitan, which made very good coffee! Carafe is terrible or I’m incompetent. It is very difficult to pour coffee into a cup and not dribble all over the counter. I’d like to think that in my 36 years of living I’ve acquired the proper skills to screw a lid on a carafe and pour into a cup without spilling. Sometimes it’s like the coffee is leaking from between the carafe and the collar on top of it and not from the lid, it’s maddening. Fortunately for Ratio the coffee is good enough to overcome this downfall.
