“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!
“This is the perfect office machine … far superior to your typical coffee scorcher, of course, or any pod-tastic machine. Since we'd been loving our Ratio Six at home for a few years now (a more than worthy replacement for our Mochamaster Grand that went on the fritz), I was excited to jump on the Kickstarter project for the Ratio 4 (to replace my Mochamaster One-Cup at work ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ ). I would say the Ratio Four's brew is a bit of a cross between pour-over and drip - a plus in my opinion. The distinct bloom cycle has an clearly positive impact, and I personally appreciate the slightly less astringent brew than my typical experience with pour-over. I appreciate the easy option of flexible brew size depending on my need for caffeine. The separate water tank is much more convenient than finding a way to fill up a permanently mounted tank and the pass-through heater works great - more controlled temp than an in-tank heating element (esp. at 7000'). The machine is a breeze to set up, use, and clean, and has a very manageable countertop footprint. A couple of caveats; 1) I was surprised the unit arrived without at least a few 'startup' paper filters, so make sure you buy some corresponding filters to ship along with your Ratio Four and, 2) (as mentioned in other reviews) the start button, while conveniently placed and very intuitive, is extremely sensitive and it's very easy to re-start the machine while just trying to (even gently) wipe it down after brewing.”
