Ratio in The Press

Best Stuff

“The coffee machine that nerds out (so you don’t have to)”

“The Pour-Over Perfected”

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.

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

The Ratio Eight coffee machine combines the same principles used to brew by hand in a pour-over device, and adds precise technology so you get the perfect brew every time.

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.

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.

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.

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.

But for me, investing in a coffee machine is partially about looks. I don’t necessarily love the spaceships that espresso makers have become. But 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.
