“The brewer looks good and feel solid.
The coffee brewed is rich in flavour. More chocolate/toffee than citrus, but could be me and/or the beans used so far (Arabica from Jayuya in Puerto Rico).
The process of brewing is quiet (and curiously fun to watch).
What else could you ask for ?”
“I am a loyal dog who loves a great medium/dark bean. The ratio 6 has been my go to approach since I lucked into finding them in Portland. When my original Ratio 6 quit working, it made sense to buy a new one while I sent the original back for repairs. The new Ratio 6 continues to satisfy daily, and now I’ll have a backup when necessary. Great concept and design, wonderful quality control and wonderful people to work with. Thanks for starting my days and continuing my afternoons!”
“Ratio is a rare company who not only listens to customer feedback, but the acts on it. I've had the Six for about 4 years now, it's my daily driver for the morning fix. I, like many of you, loved the look and loved the coffee but hated the lid and carafe. It leaked, it dripped and it was hard to clean. About a week ago I received an email from Ratio informing me that they had improved the carafe/lid design and they offered me the opportunity to purchase it at a discounted price with free shipping. Well, it arrived yesterday and all I can say is wow! Looks Great? Check! Still compatible with my machine and filter basket/heat shield? Check! Keeps Coffee Hot? Check - 2.5 hours and still reasonably hot! Drips? Nope!!!! Pours perfectly with no buttons to push. I'm very happy that now I have the perfect coffee maker. To all of you disappointed with the old carafe/lid design, buy the new one. You'll be glad you did!”
“Best drip coffee machine we've used. Once you figure out the optimal grind size with your grinder that you pair with it, it produces very sweet and clean cups of coffee with a push of a button. I love the aesthetics as well as the thermal stability and shower head dispersion system. Overall, great product”
“So far it has worked fairly well. I have accidentally bumped the power button a few times without realizing it which has started my brew sooner than I wanted. Although that button is slick, I think I would prefer an actual switch. The carafe keeps the coffee warm for about 60-90 minutes but then it tends to cooler off quickly. My first cup is a great temp but my second and third cups often need some time in the microwave. Gives a nice mild tasting coffee. Would love to see an option for a cone filter rather than the flat bottom style. I do love how solid it feels. Not tons of plastic on it, but the plastic that is there is robust. Going to give it another couple of weeks. Not fully sold at this point but it's good enough to keep me moving forward.”
“Quality construction. Simplicity of use. Well thought out design. Classy looking. -1 star for the pouring spout; it makes a mess. IF you ever redesign it, I’d be in for one.”
