“Beautifully built and visually stunning. The Ratio Eight arrived looking brand new, with no noticeable cosmetic flaws or functional issues.
I replaced a Chemex Ottomatic, and I’m very pleased with the change. The Ratio Eight makes an excellent cup of coffee with great flavor and the perfect drinking temperature.
I usually brew just enough for one large cup, so the lack of a heating plate is actually a plus for me. I prefer freshly brewed coffee and don’t care for coffee that has been sitting on a warming plate.
Overall, the Ratio Eight is beautifully designed, exceptionally well made, and produces an excellent cup of coffee.”
Hi Michael,
Thank you for sharing your thoughts about your experience with your new Ratio! We’re delighted to hear that the overall quality is coming through in the cup. We believe the function and design of the Ratio Eight should make every morning coffee ritual feel a little more special, and we’re glad it’s becoming part of yours. Here’s to a memorable coffee experience every morning!
“I love the way this looks. It fits on our wet bar and blends in beautifully. My only con is that the coffee does not stay hot whatsoever. My husband is constantly microwaving his coffee after our first cup. Unfortunately the glass just does not hold heat, and the bottom is not heated either to keep coffee warm. I don’t want my husband to say we need something else so I may have to get the thermal carafe.”
“I am very Happy with the Ratio Eight coffee machine!! I researched all the companies out there and decided to purchase a Ratio and I am so happy I did. I love the way it brews our coffee, our coffee taste so good and it is so easy to wipe clean and read to brew again.”
“It's beautiful aesthetically, however does not make a hot enough cup of coffee. Even when it's first made and I drink it right away. We are going back to our french press until we find something that we like.”
Hey Kara,
Thanks for the feedback! Two things to consider that you may not be aware of:
- we have a thermal carafe for the Eight that will raise the initial brew temp AND keep it hot for you
- the Ratio Six brews hotter than the Eight if you use the included Heat Shield - the coffee is WAY too hot to drink for most people right off the bat :)
And if you decide neither is a good choice for you, we have a 30 day "love it" guarantee that you can use to return the Eight.
Thanks!
