Know before you buy
The machine mimics a barista's technique by automatically managing the bloom cycle and water flow. It heats water to a precise 200°F and pulses it over the grounds to ensure even saturation and extraction, mirroring the control of a manual pour-over.
Yes, the Ratio Eight is designed to be compatible with standard paper filters as well as the Able Kone stainless steel filter, giving you flexibility in how you filter your coffee.
No, the components of the Ratio Eight are not dishwasher safe. To maintain the quality of the premium materials like the wood accents and stainless steel, you should hand-wash the carafe and filter basket.
The Ratio Eight does not include a built-in grinder or a water filtration system. You will need to use a separate burr grinder for your beans and we recommend using filtered water for the best flavor profile.
The thermal stainless steel carafe is designed to retain heat effectively after the brewing cycle finishes. While it does not have an active heating plate, it is insulated to keep your coffee at an ideal serving temperature for an extended period.
The Ratio Eight has a maximum capacity of 8 cups, making it suitable for brewing for multiple people or for those who enjoy several cups throughout the morning.
