“This is, by far, the best coffee maker we have ever owned. My wife and I have used Chemex for years, but with 3 young kids we've been trying to find a machine that offers both the same level of quality with an automatic pourover process. Thanks for creating such a beautiful product!”
“We had a few small issues when we received the coffee maker, but customer service responded immediately and replace it without hesitation. The coffee maker is beautiful and the coffee tastes great, all without plastics….I love it and would recommend it to anyone! Love it!!”
“I used to use one of those "Mostly Plastic Yet Very Expensive" coffee makers before switching to a French press a few years ago when we started eliminating all plastics from our kitchen. The French press method works great but I got tired of having to manually stir the coffee grounds for 4 minutes every morning. I never considered a manual pour over method as it would also require that I physically stand over the darned thing pouring hot water while the coffee slowly dripped into the pot. Every now and then since converting to a French press, I would search for a 100% stainless steel and glass coffee brewer with no success, until I stumbled on the Ratio 8 S2 a month ago. What a game changer. Same great coffee as those "Mostly Plastic Yet Very Expensive" coffee makers, yet it doesn't require me to physically supervise it while it brews. In less than 5 minutes, I have fantastic pour-over quality coffee. PS. You need to get the thermal carafe right from the get-go, as it doesn't have a heating plate so the glass carafe would make the coffee cold right away. I would probably hate this machine if it didn't have a thermal carafe option.”
“I am now using this Ratio 8 to make my coffee and believe me, the experience and taste is superior! Pour over coffee has more health benefits AND is meant to be made fresh. I make 1 cup at a time (so easy) and so delicious. This is not the old paradigm of making a pot of coffee that sits. This is about making fresh coffee to be had immediately. Use heat retaining mugs if need be, but make yourself a fresh cup each time. It's completely worth it and this machine is a GAME CHANGER for my morning coffee. So so happy I found it!!!”
“We have only had the coffee machine for two weeks, but so far so good! The coffee is good and the machine looks beautiful in the kitchen. We really appreciate the lack of plastic that comes in contact with the water. It does have more pieces and parts and things to fiddle around with then a one touch coffee maker, but it’s worth it!”
“This is the best coffee machine I have ever used. It captures the depth and clarity of a true pour over and delivers it with flawless consistency.
The process is effortless. You press a button and it handles everything with precision, from temperature to extraction. It gives you café quality at home every single morning.
The machine is also beautiful. It looks and feels like a modern design piece and instantly elevates your counter.
For anyone who values exceptional coffee and craftsmanship, this is a worthwhile investment.”
“Love the metal filter holder. However, it takes WAY too long for the coffee to drip through.
Would love a 4 cup coffee machine with the metal filter holder”
Hi Helen, thanks for the feedback! We’re glad you like the stainless steel dripper. The slow drip is not ideal. Have you tried a coarser grind to help with flow? Our CX team will be in touch to see if we can help troubleshoot further!
