“I’ve had mine for about 6 weeks and love it! I make 3 cups at a time (about 2 mugs) which is perfect. I’ve also employed the use of a Kalita with it for experimentation and it works great. I’ve purchased a small stainless steel carafe on workdays when I want to keep the second cup of coffee hot for an extended time. It fits perfect with the Ratio basket and the Kalita! This is a very versatile machine and brews a great cup of coffee! Love the shower head!”
“The Ratio Four makes tasty coffee. My husband said the coffee is better than the pod single-serve that he was using. Now we don’t have to but those expensive, poor-quality pods.”
Hi Victoria, thanks for sharing your thoughts! We're thrilled to hear that both you and your husband are enjoying the coffee that Ratio Four produces. If you have any questions or need tips to maximize your brewing experience, don't hesitate to reach out. Happy brewing!
“The directions for getting the amount to grind and the size of grind were excellent. The precision of the brewing is very nice. I'm afraid my little espresso machine is not going to get much use any more. Congratulations on a fine product!”
“I love the compact size of the Ratio Four. We have a Ration Six but save that for family gatherings. On a typical morning, the Four is perfect for my wife and me. I really like the glass carafe and the fact that the water tank is a separate unit. Both make it much easier to clean and maintain.”
“60 days of making a great cup of coffee with the Ratio Four.
Water to the 3 line. 26oz of beans ground at 15 on a Baratza Encore, and using a Kalita Wave glass dripper with Kalita filters.
Others have reviewed the On switch placement. I will simply say that you get used to it and it becomes a non-factor after a couple weeks.
Pros
Best tasting cup of coffee from an "automatic" machine I've been able to produce
For me, the tempurature is perfectly drinkable the moment the cycle finishes
Ease of switching to other drippers
Water container - easy to fill, easy to place
Cons
Because I switched to a different dripper, the front of the machine (including the power switch) gets covered in steam/moisture - which is then wiped down daily... maybe this is a Pro because it means that I keep my machine clean daily.”
“The best coffee maker I have ever used. I got the ratio, and a moccamaster at the same .the moccamaster got sent back it was nowhere in the ratio 4s league.”
