“As the owner of the original Series 1 Carafe, this is a needed upgrade. Functionally, it solves all of the problems of the first carafe. The pour spout is much improved so it has not dripped AT ALL. Usually after I pour I have a little puddle of coffee to wipe up on my counter. Now it is honestly the best pouring experience of all the carafes that I have tried. I love the new design of the lid. I think it looks cleaner, water doesn't get stuck in the air cavity (because there is none) and there's no lever or mechanisms to fiddle with. I was worried that it would lose heat faster because it is essencially just an open hole but I have not found that to be the case. If anything, I've notice this carafe to keep things warmer for longer. Even if you opt for the Series 1 brewer, this is a required upgrade, in my opinion.”
“Still dribbles, pour is messy and does not solve the problem of the original poor design. Very disappointed. Now I have two carafe that don’t live up to the standard of the rest of the machine. Really guys. I thought you fixed this.”
“This Carafe Series 2 is excellent. It is a lower profile than the original, and easy to twist the lid on. The pour is easy and smooth. I am marking this as 5 star, excellent but will say I am disappointed the original Carafe was so poorly designed that I had to buy a new one in order to get a proper pour. Great coffee!”
“Finally solved the finicky lid issue to the thermal carafe. This Series 2 makes the Ratio 6 totally complete and it's like we have a new machine! Thanks, Ratio ... really appreciate the strive to perfection and you have arrived at last!!!”
