This was a tough decision to upgrade our home drip program, and I watched tons of reviews online and scanned through the forums. It came down to the wire between the Mochamaster and the Ratio 6. So we've had the Ratio 6 for 2 weeks now, and we are happy. The coffee is amazing.
This is a night and day difference from the Cuisinart we've had for years.
Every batch is good. Every time.
The carafe keeps the coffee hot for hours, which is important since I'm making the batch at 0530, and my wife doesn't start drinking it until she gets the kids to school, so her first cup is usually close to 0900. The coffee is hot. There's no denying that it gets to proper temperature, and you have to be careful on your first sip, or you'll scorch your tongue.
I've mostly made batches with 1 liter of water, and I've experimented with smaller and larger sizes, but it doesn't matter, it always tastes delicious. This is an easy machine to use. Pretty much fire and forget. Push the button, and in 5 minutes you're enjoying a smooth cup of java.
The carafe did come with a scratch that ran down the side of it. Didn't notice it when I first took it out of the box and it didn't really bother me, but my wife was understandably upset about it. So on day 3, I emailed customer service, and Brett emailed me back that day and said that they were truly sorry that it came that way, and that they were shipping out a brand new carafe to us. Came a couple days later, so I feel pretty confident that they stand by their product.
One of my favorite aspects of the Ratio 6 is when you push the button and it turns on, there's this heavy, low moaning sound of it heating up that is just so cool. It's crazy that I actually look forward to waking up and making coffee.
