“I wanted to love this machine more than I do. My husband is all complaints but while I love the look of my Ratio functionality is just not what I was hoping. The glass carafe just falls short and doesn’t keep our coffee at all. Since it also has a rubber bottom I can’t heat it on the stove or heat element like my Chemex. I wanted the thermal but black was not available so I thought I’d upgrade later but really wish I would have just waited. It’s really expensive for what you actually get because I love my coffee and need it to be hot without having to reheat it in the microwave.”
“If you REALLY like coffee then this is the only answer for you. The ability of the Ratio to produce rich, full-bodied coffee, free from the solids and oils that get pressed into or extracted from coffee using other methods really stands out from the crowd. The Ratio is also the most simple and intuitive piece of automated brewing technology out there - even a coffee-deprived teenager can set it up. Finally, the design is out of this world. Elegant, simple, bold.”
