Ratio Six

Overview

The Ratio Six is a beautifully designed automatic drip coffee brewer from Portland-based Ratio Coffee, a company founded on the principle that the best coffee equipment should be both functionally excellent and aesthetically outstanding. The Six achieves SCA Gold Cup certification with a brew process that mimics the techniques of skilled manual pour-over baristas — a controlled bloom phase saturates the grounds before full brewing begins, promoting even extraction and enhanced flavor development. The water shower head distributes water across the coffee bed in a spiral pattern similar to a hand pour-over technique. A precision thermostat maintains brew temperature within the SCA recommended range throughout the cycle. The machine uses a flat-bottom filter basket for even water distribution, and the included thermal carafe keeps coffee hot for hours without the flavor degradation caused by hot plates. What truly distinguishes the Ratio Six is its design — a die-cast aluminum body available in matte black, matte white, and stainless steel, with clean lines and minimal controls that make it a genuine kitchen centerpiece. A single switch is the only control — no buttons, no displays, no programming. Fill the tank, add coffee, flip the switch. The Ratio Six proves that advanced brewing technology and stunning design can coexist in a machine that makes exceptional coffee effortlessly.

The Ratio Six comes equipped with PID temperature control for precise brewing, pre-infusion for even extraction. It features a thermoblock boiler system made of stainless steel. The vibratory pump delivers consistent pressure for optimal extraction.

Priced at $365, the Ratio Six is designed for home baristas looking for quality without breaking the bank.
