“Absolutely love this coffee maker I’m obsessed!! It is the perfect size, great design, easy to use. Just a show stopper and makes making coffee enjoyable!! Highly highly recommend!”
“The machine looks beautiful, and generally makes good coffee, but the design is lacking. The touch sensor button for brewing is located right above the bin, so it gets accidentally pushed all the time while taking out the bin, thankfully you can hold for two seconds and stop it, but it would have been much better with an actuated button or switch.
There is a high pitch whine the entire time it's brewing, turning your relaxing morning routine into a bit of a torture exercise if you can't leave the room. Lastly, the beautiful glass charaff is not heated from below, so if you don't put your coffee in a mug right away, you're going to drink cold coffee.
The nature of pour over is that the coffee comes out pretty close to drinking temp, which is great, but brew only what you need or get an ember mug.”
“Convenient, quality coffee. Because this machine is designed to make small batches, and do it well, I don’t waste coffee or sacrifice quality when I only want a cup or two.”
“I love my Ratio Four. It's my first Ratio coffee maker and it definitely lives up to the reputation of its older counterparts. I'm now very tempted to get a larger one for the office. I couldn't be more impressed by a drip machine.”
“I just received my Ratio Four a week ago. It's perfect for 1-2 person coffee brewing. Like the smaller size and easy water filling of the water tank. Hot, delicious coffee made simple.”
Hey Milan! Thanks for the feedback.
The noise of the Four is less than most coffee makers, in our testing, but this is certainly a subjective thing.
If you do push the Start button by accident, if you push it again for 2 seconds it will turn the unit off.
As far as a drip stop, we have a nice ceramic drip catcher available that you can place the filter basket on after brewing: https://ratiocoffee.com/collections/carafes-drippers/products/catcher-white
We have a 30 day satisfaction guarantee so you're welcome to return the unit if you decide it's not for you.
Thanks again for taking the time to send in your feedback!
