The Ratio Four Coffee Maker is a deceptively simple brewer design to brew 1-2 10 oz cups of coffee quickly and easily. This is a unique brewer in the space that we really love, and we can’t wait to share what makes it tick!
Design
At first glance, this may look like any other premium drip brewer, but look closer and you’ll see one major design element that sets it apart. We’re referring to the detached water reservoir, which is actually placed on a stand that connects to the brewer with a hose. While odd looking at first, this configuration means that you can move the reservoir to either side, or behind the brewer as your needs require. You can also remove the actual reservoir to refill it right from the tap. This is a really innovative design choice in a market where innovation can sometimes be hard to come by.
While many other features of this brewer are more “standard,” they’re no less essential to how well it performs. Automatic bloom, SCA Gold Cup rated water temps, an excellent evenly distributing shower screen, and the smartly designed carafe all contribute to a fantastic cup of coffee.
Performance and Price
And that performance truly is excellent. This brewer’s parts all combine to give you a delicious cup that is just the right temperature and volume for your morning caffeine. When combined with the ease of use, we really think this brewer is one of the best you can get right now if you’re in the market for a 1-2 cup machine.
Another positive is the price. While the Ratio Four might not be cheap, it’s still very competitive in a category that often sees machines coming in at $100 or more higher than its current price. We think this makes it an even more compelling option, and can definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a fresh machine with a lighter brew volume.
