“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.”
“I don’t like the way it pours at all. If I knew it would Splash so much I’m thinking I wouldn’t have purchased it. I’m also not a fan of the small opening to put the water in. I’m not able to get my hand in there to properly clean it. I’m sure in time the glass on the inside will get cloudy and be an eyesore sitting on my kitchen counter. I’m actually sorry I made this purchase.”
Hi Lori! Sorry to hear of your experience. Here is a help article on how to keep the tank sparkly clean: https://help.ratiocoffee.com/cleaning-your-ratio-six

“We have enjoyed this machine from day one. We only make coffee once a day so the carafe is perfect, it keeps the coffee hot long enough to finish without cooking it like a burner-style coffee maker.
We've been using it for about five weeks and the only issue I have with it is it's a little fiddly. Lots of pieces, not the end of the world. It makes great coffee.”
“Only a week in but I'm in love with my Ratio Six.. it brews exceptionally good coffee for a longtime pour-over guy. Everything is so thoughtfully designed and well built, everything except - the dang carafe! I'm really surprised that such an elegant and functional machine would fall so short in this area as it's a key feature, and truthfully takes away from an otherwise very pleasant user experience. If the carafe got an update to pour (much) more smoothly then it would be an easy 10/10 for me, but sadly this component needs improvement.”
