“The Ratio Eight Series excels far beyond any coffee machine in my experience. The simplicity in method and quality of extraction combine for a wonderful experience. Additionally, the materials exhibit incredible craftsmanship - ultimately resulting a machine that blends into our kitchen aesthetic.”
“The coffee is good but not hot enough and it doesn’t stay hot. In fact it gets cold pretty quickly. It’s really a very fancy pour over. We are keeping it because of the fact the coffee doesn’t come in any contact with plastic. It’s very expensive for what it is. It is cool looking, though.”
Deborah, thanks for the feedback! We do specifically use the words "pour over" in our descriptions for a reason - we believe the more open design of pour over is both delightful to watch and leads to a more delicious cup of coffee. If you opt for the thermal carafe, you'll have hot coffee for over an hour. It's too hot to drink right away for most of us at Ratio headquarters :)
“Thanks for your reply. I would like any sort of handle on the filter unit. Hoping the filter unit will fit on the carafe I Ordered. The cone type filter was not available.”
Hey Michael,
Thanks for the feedback! A few quick notes:
1. If you linger over coffee for more than 15 minutes or so, we highly recommend the thermal carafe. Some folks pour the coffee right away so don't need it.
2. We don't offer a drip stop for a very particular reason - based on lots of testing and the latest coffee brewing best practices, interrupting the coffee brewing process will impact the flavor negatively. Since it's just a 7 minute brew cycle, we figured the wait is worth it for the best possible tasting coffee.
3. We have considered a silicone attachment for this. Would you be interested in that?
Let us know if we can help in any other way!
“I’ve just had this for a few weeks, but already fell in love with my new ritual of daily morning drip coffee. The device itself is stunning, very well made and gorgeous in my kitchen. It’s easy to clean and works great. I love that I can customize the coffee amount for a perfect taste that I was looking for. Highly recommend!!”
“This is the best coffee maker I could buy. Perfect coffee. Elegant and simple design and use.
I'm still getting used to it after a nearly decade long run with my Series 1. Old friends and new friends to keep me company in the morning.”
