“We recently replace our original Ratio Eight with the new iteration and we love it. After some adjustments to our grind (the old machine used a cone shaped filter and the new one a basket filter and thus a slightly coarser grind), it makes the same amazing coffee that we've become accustomed to and that has ruined every other coffee for us!
The new Ratio Eight is much lighter than the original; it has a separate filter basket rather than simply using the neck of the carafe for the filter; the filter shape is a bit different; and there are more pieces to wash every morning. BUT the coffee is amazing!”
“When my wife mentioned a $800 coffee maker, I thought she had lost her mind. We had been using a Mocamaster for years, and the coffee had become so bitter that I even tried mushroom coffee. Determined to find a better solution, we decided to try the Ratio 8, the second version. To my astonishment, the coffee taste has been incredible. The simulated overpour technology is simply fantastic. I’ve rediscovered my love for coffee. The customer service has been exceptional in helping me achieve the perfect grind size. My only regret is all the coffee I used in my Mocamaster that tasted terrible, and I blamed the beans.”
“I had been using an OXO coffee machine, and was happy with it. The Ratio 8 Series 2 was purchased because of its plastic-free brewing, and because of its fine appearance. I hesitated because of the Ratio 8's substantial cost. After using the Ratio machine for a couple of weeks, I'm happy that I took the plunge. The machines thoughtful construction and simplicity of use justify the added cost. Always makes a great cup of coffee.”
“Hi Mark, I’ll likely start the process to return my machine. I moved the machine on the counter top and orange liquid came out the back. I’ve only had it for ~2 weeks and that seems a bit early for any build up so seems like something is just finicky.”
“I don’t see the value add from the 6 to the new eight Series 2. Besides the obvious design differences and the accessories like the new thermal carafe and metal brew basket, what makes it more than double the price of the six? I do not like now light it feels, it feels cheap for a $800 product. And it’s even more if you have to buy the thermal carafe. Maybe make the carafe included in the $800 ad a second option. It does make great coffee and I do think the water output is more constant t than the six. My six would not get a nice water to bean contact and I have to rotate it every time which was annoying. The eight series 2 was much better. If you make the eight using metal body and a glass water container, than I would think it’s worth the extra $$”
“The Ratio system is an excellent example of engineering meeting aesthetics. It manages to automate the pour-over process with impressive thermal stability and precise water distribution, which are vital for a consistent extraction. For those who appreciate professional-grade results without the manual variability, this machine is a standout addition to a high-performance kitchen.”
“This is my second coffee maker from Ratio and I absolutely love the machines. Beautiful design and consistently great coffee.
My only frustration — spending nearly $1,000 on a coffee maker and not receiving any filters to use it on day one. The new machine uses different filters than my previous Ratio, so I couldn’t even brew coffee out of the box.
Still a great product overall, but including a small starter pack of filters would make the experience feel much more premium. Especially when you sell a 100 for only $10”
