CNN Underscored on the Eight Series 2: “One of the Best Drip Coffee Makers (Period)”

When we set out to design the Ratio Eight Series 2, our goal was simple: refine a modern classic. After a decade of the original Eight, we looked closely at the details—stronger materials where it counts, smarter brewing programs built into the button, and a lighter, more resilient frame—without changing the silhouette that has become our signature.

So when CNN Underscored recently put the Eight Series 2 to the test, we were both humbled and delighted by their verdict: “The Ratio Eight Series 2 Coffee Machine is one of the best drip coffee makers (period).”

What stood out to us most was how the review captured the balance we try to strike between form and function. As CNN described it, the Eight Series 2 is “gorgeous in a chemistry lab experiment kind of way — although that’s kind of hard because it just looks so good on the kitchen counter.” For us, design isn’t an afterthought; it’s as essential as the brew itself.

But beauty means little without performance. Here again, CNN Underscored landed on what makes the Eight S2 different: “This delivers when it comes to great-tasting coffee with minimal effort.” That simplicity is intentional. We’ve always believed coffee at home should be both effortless and elevated—no endless menus, no complicated steps. Just one button and a carafe full of coffee you’re proud to serve.

In the end, the review concluded what we’ve quietly hoped all along: “The Ratio Eight Series 2 Coffee Machine is one of the best drip coffee makers (period). That means it deserves a spotlight, regardless of the price tag.”

We couldn’t have said it better ourselves.
