“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”
“I'm obsessed with this pourover machine. It basically ruined getting coffee out for me because I prefer the taste of what I make at home. Super easy to use - my only complaint is that i have to get a specific carafe/water bottle to pour water into the narrow hole because the way it kind of slopes in there leads to spills if I use a regular pyrex pitcher or something similar. But one button, easy to clean. I got the stainless steel filter and ratio 8 steel dripper to sit on top of the thermal carafe. Love love love!”
“Had a Breville coffee maker for many years which outshined Starbucks burnt offerings. With my new Ratio Eight Series 2 we know how coffee truly tastes. Thank you!”
“We purchased the Ratio 8 primarily because of looks - but have been impressed with it overall.
Basically:
- It makes great coffee
- It is incredibly easy to operate (no fancy options/features that never get used anyway)
I'm a fan of pour-over style machines, and this is probably one of the best out there right now.”
