This review explores the Ratio Eight Series 2 coffee maker, a high-end appliance that focuses on the art of brewing rather than just convenience. It is designed for coffee enthusiasts who appreciate the ritual of making coffee and want to minimize plastic exposure. The machine is mostly made of glass and stainless steel, but it still includes some plastic components. While it offers a unique brewing experience, it may not outperform other machines in its price range.
• The Ratio Eight Series 2 emphasizes the manual pour-over style, offering two brewing recipes for different batch sizes.
• It features a touch-sensitive button for easy operation and maintains the ideal water temperature during brewing.
• The machine’s quirks, like needing to remove the brew basket before serving, are intentional to enhance the coffee-making ritual.
• The glass carafe is recommended over the thermal carafe for better heat retention and ease of use.
Investing in the Ratio Eight Series 2 may appeal to those who value the coffee-making process and want to avoid plastic as much as possible. However, for those seeking a more straightforward and cost-effective brewing solution, there are other options available that deliver similar quality without the high price tag.
