“I’m a coffee lover. I have taken classes and experimented with many different brewing methods. I sought out to purchase the “perfect” auto pour over machine which lead me to the Ratio. My goals were to save time and a consistent brew. Reading past reviews and understanding the craft behind the machine I was impressed. What also impressed me was the level and responsiveness throughout the lingering effects of covid supply chain disruptions. It wasn’t about the timing it was about the commitment to keeping us updated. The Ratio team knocked it out of the park. As for having the unit physically it’s hard to appreciate or understand the beauty until you see, hold, use it person. You can tell it’s handcrafted and feels durable. So far the Ratio makes a better more consistent tasting cup every time we use it. The other benefits time savings. Rather then waiting for the water to reach temp in a separate pot, grinding, then pouring to allow the coffee to bloom, then having to steadily pour and hope your not going to fast or slow the ratio does this all for us. I would recommend the product to anyone who shares the same love and appreciation for a east and consistent cup. Also the machine looks like a piece of art and is a great addition to any kitchen.”
“Very expensive for what it actually is. The shower head does seems to trend to one side of the head and does not evenly dispense. Carafe needs a better method of letting air escape, same problem as the chemex. I usually put a spoon in the pouring spout between the glass and filter to allow an air channel so the coffee does not overflow.”
“Great craftsmanship beautiful to look and Coffee tasted great it would’ve been perfect if the base had a hot plate at least as an option
Had to return it without a hot plate you can only brew one cup at a time and it’s not hot enough..It’s a pity it’s so close to being perfect”
“I purchased the Ratio Eight as a gift and while it makes an incredible cup of coffee, the side bar attachment to the base is offset a bit, which happens with hand assembly I am told (I emailed customer service about this). If this imperfection wouldn’t bother you to look at daily, then this is worth the spend. Additionally, go with the thermal package for heat retention if there will be more than 2 cups enjoyed.”
“It seems like I’m always in search of that elusive “perfect” cup of coffee. I roast and grind my own coffee beans. I’ve tried various pour-over techniques, drip brewers, French presses, etc. Pour-overs like Chemex always seemed the best, but they’re a lot of trouble, and are time-consuming. The Ratio Eight solves the problem. I can start it, then do other things while it’s brewing - and the coffee is fantastic! I can say without a doubt that it brews the best coffee that I’ve been able to make at home. I highly recommend the Ratio Eight.”
Hello Lisa! If you don't drink your coffee right away, we recommend checking out our Ratio Eight Thermal Carafe - it will extend the drinking time to 90 min or so (depending on how hot you like your coffee).
Hope this helps!
