The Ratio Six Coffee Maker has been awarded the Specialty Coffee Association (SCA) Certified Home Brewer mark. In a crowded and competitive market, the SCA Certified Home Brewer mark helps consumers find and choose the best coffee makers, backed by the science and experience of the Specialty Coffee Association. Certified Home Brewers are thoroughly tested in the laboratory and must meet the SCA’s quality standards for brewing specialty coffee at home.

In addition to meeting these standards, the Ratio Six coffee maker features:

  • SCA-certified gold standard coffee by the carafe

  • Brews up to 1.25 liters (40 ounces) of perfectly extracted coffee per batch

  • Ships with a thermal carafe, which retains temperature for at least an hour

  • Emulates pour-over coffee with the push of a button – water flow is precisely metered through the bloom and brew phases

  • Features a die-cast aluminum 1400-watt heating element, to ensure even water flow through the wide stainless-steel showerhead and over the coffee grounds with precise time and temperature

  • Designed for flat-bottom basket coffee filters, but can be swapped for conical filters

  • Built to last: precision-formed stainless steel, borosilicate glass, and high-end BPA-free copolymers, with a five-year warranty

  • Weighs eight pounds, has the leanest form factor, lightest price of all Ratio coffee makers, and is designed in Portland, OR, United States.

Mark Hellweg, Ratio Founder and CEO, set out to design a home brewer that would mimic the highly tuned commercial batch brewers seen in many cafes around the world. “I was after a very simple home brewer that was almost stupidly consistent, batch after batch”, Mark said. “We designed the showerhead and bloom cycle to work in tandem to evenly wet the coffee bed, even with half batches. The flat filter basket is forgiving of various roast styles, grinder types, and ground coffee doses, so we chose that as the standard filter for the Six. I’m honored that the SCA’s certification demonstrates what you can taste in the cup."
