“Pros: Good tasting coffee.
Cons: The spout dribbles when pouring the coffee.
The plugin cord attachment at the back of the unit is finicky. If it is jostled the coffee maker won't
turn on.
The start control press button at the front is also finicky and difficult to get to work.
Sometimes it lights up and sounds like it has started and then turns off. Very inconvenient. Other
times it takes several touches to get it started. I have owned a Ratio Eight for about a year and a
half during which time the machine was returned twice for warranty work on the switch. It was
during Covid. It took months to fix and I was told it was the "chip" that was defective. I hope this
one doesn't have the same issue.
I would by far prefer a mechancial switch that went "click" when you pushed it and worked
consistently rather than this more complicated (operationally) type of switch.
I have owned the Ratio Six a few weeks. I am hoping it does not go the way of the first ratio
that I owned and ended up with a warranty issue.
The good news is the warranty help was consistently good and they stayed in excellent
communication. 5 stars to the staff who helped me.”
“Coffee doesn't stay hot in the stainless carafe, and we miss having a glass carafe to see how much coffee is left. Other than that, we're happy with the overall look and performance!”
“This machine is amazing. It has simplified my morning routine and beautified my coffee station. The reason I've given it 4 stars is that the brew method included sucks. It makes bad coffee. The glass carafe was a great addition. I've also just set my Hario V60 on the metal carafe with great results. Overall I'm very happy and would buy it again.”
“I am still on the fence - I like the design and our first brew was very good. However, I find it a little frustrating that there was a sticker on the handle of the carafe that left a sticky residue on the handle when I removed it. For such an expensive design, if you need to put a sticker on the unit, I wish you had opted for one that came off cleanly without leaving residue behind! Time will tell if the coffee continues to be superior to a regular coffee maker.”
