I enjoy and love the coffee it makes! I am a bit sad I can not use my Chemex 8 cup or any chemex carafe but I'm good with the coffee maker and it's incredible Brew from 2-8 cups. I'm still figuring out if flat bottom, cone or Chemex filters make the better brew so as time goes I use the Ratio 6, Cafe Speciality and Chemex to brew coffee each day depending on schedule. I finally have a wonderful coffee system and with fresh ground beans it's always a win win! Thanks Ratio for making an easy coffee maker to use especially early in the morning when I'm not fully brain functioning!
