“I did a lot of research on brewers prior to my purchase; I’m happy I settled on the Ratio Six. I love the guide recommendations on how much coffee is needed based on how many cups you’re going to brew. It was easy to assemble, although there was no guide and I had to look at pics on the website to figure it out. The carafe keeps the coffee hot for approximately 2 hrs. I’m looking forward to many more great cups of coffee with my Ratio 6 brewer. Happy Brewing!!”
“This coffee maker is easy to use & set up, just need to watch their online video as the instructions do not have set up. Makes great coffee, no issues! Surprisingly, the carafe really DOES keep the coffee hot! Very pleased that plastic isn’t touching heated water or our coffee! :D.”
“I bought the Ratio 6 knowing it was a bit of a compromise: I am a singleton, and I really need a 4-cup coffee maker for daily use. However, I really wanted a machine with the glass supply lines, and those are not available in the Ratio 4. So, I use this machine every day to make a half batch or less, which isn’t ideal. It works pretty well, but I can tell that the showerhead distributes the water a bit more evenly those few times I make a larger batch. It’s not optimal for the smaller batch (and to be clear, I bought it knowing that), but it is still the best automatic coffee maker I’ve ever owned. Using the glass carafe and Chemex filter, this comes closer than any other machine ever has, to the quality of a pour over that I make myself. My ideal coffee maker would be a 4-cup version that somehow had glass supply lines, a removable glass water tank, and a timer I can set the night before, but no one makes that machine! And until they do, this is the closest!”
“My first impressions are positive. Took a few batches but it wasn't hard to dial in the best grind and coffee to water ratio for the blend I'm using (Ruby's Creamery). Flavor is better and more consistent than what I was getting from my more than 10-year old Moccamaster.
This machine has been extensively reviewed, and I want to comment on two frequently discussed issues. First, the machine is very use. The target for pouring in the water is way smaller than the moccamaster, but not a big issue. Assembling the three levels is simple and, contrary to Hoffman's experience, the unit is not at all awkward to slide in and out. Second, the (second generation) carafe pours smooth and doesn't drip at all. The coffee stays hot enough for an hour or two.
The only issue I've experienced thusfar is that the unit stopped in the middle of a brew cycle once. I'm not sure what caused this, but I'm pretty sure the carafe was properly seated. If it happens again, I will need to test Ratio's warranty and customer service. Hopefully, it won't come to that, but if it does I will update my review.”
“This machine is easy to use and makes a great cup of coffee. We were die hard French press users but needed to simplify our routine. We worried about compromising taste., butI think the Ratio six makes a better cup! No regrets, we love it!”
