Ratio Eight Review - coffee maker LUXURY???

Is this the most luxurious drip coffee maker there is? Or.. is the Ratio Eight an overpriced obscenity?? Will you pay this much for automated pour over coffee in your kitchen?

I'd love to see a comparison. I have a Ratio 6 in my home office and love it. I'm looking to replace the coffee maker in the kitchen in the not-so-distant future and am wondering if I should do another 6 or invest in an 8.

Love it and when you say “who is it for?” It’s for me! I love great coffee but also need a quick pot some mornings. This is like having a drip maker but it makes great coffee and looks incredible. Sometimes form over function is ok.

@spoitras Жыл бұрын

Thanks for the review! I'd like to hear about the Ratio 6 because I mostly make coffee for myself when I'm at home, so even a half pot will be too much. The most I really need is 10 ounces.

Nice review. There is one robot pourover that I have yet to see a review of that I think could maybe give the Ratios a bit of a challenge at a lower price point with added features. The Hamilton Beach Craft coffee maker. Timer, warmer, 5 brew strength settings, water temperature adjustment, glass basket and an integrated scale.

Yoooo brother, nice video once again!! Although it looks pretty sick, at that price, I still prefer my chemex X Cuisinart programmable kettle to make my pourovers. Just the feel of doing it just seems so right. This machine is a legit piece of art though 👌🏼☕️

The Ratio 8 is the type of machine that is an "additional" part of your coffee making arsenal. You're most likely going to use this when you don't have time for pourover and want to bang out a quick batch to take with you. That's what I would use it for. I'd grind my coffee the night before, air seal it, and knock out a quick 2 cups in the morning. For me it would be this machine or the Moccamaster if I'm doing automated brewing.

Funny thing about prices. In general, what do I want, need,afford! Took me a few weeks to gather information for a new fridge. Best tip is ,don't wait till the fridge dies. 2nd best tip:::: throw away most of the stuff ,as it's probably outdated by a few years.. New fridge is tiny & most likely won't last 25years. On to the coffee maker. My 18year old DeLonghi DIED & it's no longer available, unless someone bought one and is waiting for me to buy theirs... My next purchase might b the OXO or this bad boy. Thank you💙 , your review is great.💙

@DaddyGotCoffee Жыл бұрын

Essentially yes, with super premium build and looks. Exactly why I mentioned the six as a lot more competitive of an option when it comes to price from Ratio - it at least comes with a thermal carafe. The bloom phase is nice though, I wish more coffee makers did that. And there aren’t a ton that use conical filters. But, a lot of people will decide it’s not worth the high price. But… enough people do to keep it in production!

Mine broke as others have reviewed. After about 6 months of use, it now just blinks constantly on Bloom and never brews. I think it has something to do with all of the steam moisture that comes out of this thing from every crevice. I think it damages the electronics inside.

@faith1857 Жыл бұрын

I'll take my Behmor Brazen+ coffee maker over the Ratio 8. It functions like a pour over but with a basket filter. It sprays the coffee grounds so evenly. Stainless steel water tank that drains directly into the carafe. You can set (and easily change) brew temperature, bloom time. It's a bit small if you're making coffee for a crowd, but it's just my husband and me most of the time, and the quality of the coffee it brews is worth it to me. About $200.

@DaddyGotCoffee Жыл бұрын

The brazen is a seriously underrated coffee maker - I agree! Great!

@johnmpifer 8 ай бұрын

I just bought a Brazen after recently getting heavily into light roasts and realizing that, at only 185°F, the BUNN Velocity Brew I was using for the last 9 years was not getting the brew water hot enough to properly extract those light roasts. With the Behmor, I can set the brew water temp all the way up to 210°F for a light roast that would ordinarily be tough to get everything out of with an autodrip machine, and, as you said, the even water distribution allows for good extraction. My favorite brew method is still pourover with V60 or Chemex. But on work mornings when I’m leaving the house at 0430, the Behmor is awesome! And with the thermal carafe, I just make a full pot and my wife has hot coffee ready when she gets up. I really like it!

Can this be used to make tea as well?

@DaddyGotCoffee Жыл бұрын

Technically I suppose it could but it really not designed to for a couple reasons. The temperature is locked at a higher temperature better suited to coffee than many teas which require a lower temp. Also, it works via percolations where the water flows through the grounds (or tea leaves) rather than steeping. If I had to guess I’d say it would result in a pretty weak and potentially bitter (depending on what tea you were using) pot of tea.

I stand corrected, it is one part of it - the other part being that a saturated bed of grounds leads to better and more even extraction

@ericanderson1753 Жыл бұрын

No to the Chemex design. Also, I need there to be a scale. I need to be sure the right mass of water hits the grounds in the dripper, no matter how much is in the reservoir. I don’t want to calculate losses and then guess at what to put in the reservoir for the brew.

@DaddyGotCoffee Жыл бұрын

Is there any automatic coffee maker that utilizes a scale for measuring net output? I can see how you would be a yay or nay on the Chemex design, but just to play devils advocate on the scale point - how is this any different from a pour over? You have to be really down the rabbit hole on pourover if you are measuring net output separate from water input.

@ericanderson1753 Жыл бұрын

@@DaddyGotCoffee three possible cases… 1) The case where you know the mass in the cup/carafe. 2) The case where you know the mass in the “system” (including the dripper and the cup). 3) The case where you know the mass in the kettle/reservoir. I care about case (2). I’m 60g/L through and through (for percolation brewing).

@DaddyGotCoffee Жыл бұрын

I’ll have to measure this. It seems like there is next to no water left in the system, although I’m sure there is some. It seems really negligible especially over the large batch. But, as far as automatic percolation brewers go, this is going to be the situation in nearly any case

@ericanderson1753 Жыл бұрын

@@DaddyGotCoffee definitely. Mostly I’m curious about losses (steam) and whether losses are consistent from brew to brew. I used to think about this with my Bona Vita but never measured it.
