“This is a superior product. It’s not inexpensive but you definitely get what you pay for. It’s worth every penny. I’m difficult to please when it comes to coffee and I looked at A LOT of other (and more expensive) options and this was the best decision I made. The coffee is a pleasure to make and drink. And this company’s customer service is without equal in my opinion. They want to ensure you’re satisfied, period. And they go above and beyond what any other consumer products company I have ever dealt with does. I love this product and I love dealing with the people who work at this company. They’re great.”
“Love it , love it, love it! I roast my own coffee and this pour over maximizes the richness of my coffee. It is not only pleasing esthetically, but delivers a wonderful cup of coffee!”
“We love our Ratio 8! It makes the same quality coffee as our prior manually brewed pourovers. I particularly enjoy having this setup the night before to save time making coffee in the morning, and it looks fantastic!”
“This is a fantastic machine if you are looking for a way to cut down the time it takes to make high quality pour-over brews.
Chemex has been our go-to method of brewing for years. However, with 2 kids under 3 spending 15 minutes preparing coffee in the morning has been a challenge. I slightly overfill the Ratio, run through a bloom cycle into an empty filter, dump it out, add freshly ground coffee, and start the machine over again. It takes about 2 minutes of active work and the net result is a fantastic pot every time.
You will need a decent grinder (I use a Rancio espresso grinder on its most coarse setting). I'd watch it the first few cycles to make sure the grind isn't too fine. It'll overflow if you get to wrong.
I also highly recommend using a scale for any method of coffee preparation. I use a 16:1 water:coffee ratio unless the roaster says differently.
Last thing I will say is that Ratio support is great. I've had a couple minor issues and the customer service is top notch.”
