The New Ratio Coffee Maker Ditches Plastic—And Looks Great Doing It. Few others can manage such full‑bodied, consistently thick extraction on automatic drip… while being so simple to use.

The Ratio 8 [Series 2] continues the legacy the company began more than a decade ago. Though it comes with nothing but an On/Off button, it does as good a job mimicking the pour‑over process as more feature‑laden machines.

The Ratio Eight Series 2 comes equipped with a plastic‑free brew basket made entirely from stainless steel. The double walls and flat bottom facilitate even extraction from every angle.

I'm convinced. No device I know makes single-mug drip coffee this delicious, with such ease and simplicity. The coffee that comes from the Ratio can be astoundingly good. On light and medium roasts in particular, my cups have been satisfyingly full-bodied while still whispering sweetly of berries or toffee.

I started drinking my morning coffee black, which made me super picky about coffee quality and kicked off my journey through Bean Land. Now, I own too many brewers and can tell you that the Ratio Six makes the best drip coffee I’ve ever had.

The Ratio Eight Series 2 Coffee Machine’s attractive design and durable matte surface are matched by its simplistic operation. With a one-button approach to simplicity, it’s a beginner-friendly coffee machine that produces outstanding drinks out of the box.

Making sure our morning coffee ritual is enjoyed to the maximum, Ratio 8’s coffee maker simulates the pour-over brewing methods of your local barista, precisely tracking the water levels and temperature for the best-tasting cup. You’ll never buy coffee out again.

Typically, a perfect cup of coffee required fussing with pour-over devices that look more like lab equipment than high-end kitchen gear. No wonder coffee circles are buzzing with anticipation over the Eight.

Although there are plenty of Scandi-style models on the market which more than fit the criteria for the most stylish coffee maker, the Ratio Eight breaks the mould with its pure, elegant design. Not out of place in the offices of a Silicon Valley tech start-up, it will supply refreshing modernity to your kitchen too.

This cool coffee maker actually brews pour-over coffee and simulates a barista’s movements, so you get the right bloom and brew phases.

The brilliance comes in not having to worry about water temperature and timing...one of the most attractive kitchen gadgets ever

It’s not often you’ll find an individual so closely aligned with a piece of coffee equipment, but the Ratio Eight is every bit Mark Hellweg’s baby.

The Eight delivers top-tier coffee with the push of a single button.

The Pour-Over Perfected

All in all, the Ratio Eight is like a Mr. Coffee—sturdy, steadfast, your go to. The only difference (and it’s a big one) is that the Ratio Eight makes an exceptional cup of coffee...the Ratio, for all of its high-tech innovation, remains a beautifully elegant machine. Not only does it make an amazing cup of coffee every single time, it’s also a joy to look at.

Our personal favorite drip coffee maker: Ratio Six. It is a looker of a machine. But it’s also technically proficient...it fully saturates the grounds with water at the right temperature and allows them to bloom at the beginning of the brewing process. It also comes with a thermal carafe that we found kept coffee warm for hours and didn’t spill a drop during a car ride to the park. 

The Ratio Six matte stainless coffee maker is one of the coolest-looking I’ve seen...
