Ratio Six Review

The Ratio Eight for slightly smaller batches.

Ratio Six pour over coffee maker

The Ratio Six is the smaller sibling of the Ratio Eight — the same Portland-made pour-over-style brewing philosophy, trimmed to a two-four cup batch for households that do not need a full pot.

It keeps the manual bloom button and the elegant minimal aesthetic, at a slightly gentler price than its big brother.

Frequently asked questions

Ratio Six or Ratio Eight?

Batch size decides: Six for 2-4 cups, Eight for 40oz. If you usually brew for two, the Six is enough and costs less.

Is the bloom button worth it?

It replicates the pour-over pre-infusion that flattens grinds and lifts a drip cup from average to memorable.
