“The best coffee maker I have ever used. I got the ratio, and a moccamaster at the same .the moccamaster got sent back it was nowhere in the ratio 4s league.”
“SO in love with this machine, brews wonderfully!! I will say the one thing to get used to is proper use of the bare "button". It is very easy to mistakenly activate a brew cycle while removing the basket. The button is in the exact location that your thumb would naturally be for leverage of the basket removal. It's a small thing but hopefully a consideration for the next version. The form factor and overall size is wonderful and pairs very well next to my fellow grinder. I particularly enjoy that I can place the water reservoir right on top!”
“I think that the coffee made from the Ration Four is good but I had to buy a cup warmer to keep the remaining coffee in the carafe warm. I would suggest adding a warning element under the carafe so an extra item does not have to be purchased to keep the coffee warm while waiting to pour a second cup.”
“Awesome little machine. Really well-built. Brews consistently, quickly. Other reviewers have mentioned the placement of the brew button as an issue, but I don’t have a problem with it. Easy to clean, no fuss, no frills - just simple coffee-making. I pull espresso a couple of mornings each week with a Cafelat Robot. When I want that intentional, slow ritual, I go to the Robot. But most mornings, I’m unfortunately hurried and don’t have time for anything but grinding 35g, pouring water to the “4” mark, and hitting “brew.” The Ratio 4 is perfect.”
“The Ratio Four has almost completely replaced my manual pour over. It makes consistent, well extracted coffee over and over with one touch simplicity. I love the overall design of the machine as well as the footprint and flexibility on placing the water tank. From a design standpoint, the star of the show is the carafe. This is so well made & beautiful and the rubber base is exactly what any glass carafe needs. The lid is great too but I wish there was some kind of integrated storage for it when the coffee is brewing. That's probably my only complaint so far. Highly recommended!”
“This is a great machine and exceeds all my needs. The design of the unit is nice and it makes a phenomenal cup of coffee. I wish the water resevoir was glass - the plastic is fine but it just feels cheaper. The machine itself it well designed although I agree with other reviewers about the awkward placement of the button - as you remove and replace the basket you need to be aware and avoid hitting the button by mistake. Overall it's terrific, quick to make a great cup of coffee, easy to clean and maintain. Definitely pleased with my purchase.”
