Ratio Creates Pour-Over Coffee Maker Aimed Specifically At High-End Prosumers – CoffeeTalk

Ratio Coffee Machines, founded by Mark Hellweg, is known for brewing rich, delicious coffee and providing style on your countertop. They are often compared to the “Porsche” of pour-over coffee makers due to their focus on combining timeless quality with modern technology to deliver exceptional user experiences.

Mark’s passion for combining timeless quality with modern technology led him to elevate the options available in the pour-over coffee maker market. He felt that drip coffee makers lacked the beauty and quality of espresso machines, which can be easily replaced with new pumps and TLC. This led him to ask the question, “why must everything be disposable, ugly, and make terrible coffee?”

Ratio Coffee Machines focuses on balance between aesthetics and functionality, focusing on functionality first and creatively and expansively about making it a beautiful ritual people look forward to. They look to furniture and architecture for inspiration, not other coffee makers, and choose materials like walnut wood to ensure they don’t introduce functional problems while chasing aesthetics.

Mark believes that coffee should be a beautiful ritual, and Ratio’s products are designed for people who love beauty, quality, and simplicity. They enjoy receiving notes from customers after setting up their Ratio machine and brewing a few batches. The company doesn’t claim to be the only good option for coffee makers, but they focus on the “Ratio approach” that differentiates them from other machines on the market.

Ratio’s coffee makers are built for the long haul, with replaceable parts and a 5-year warranty that they support themselves. They choose quality materials, with great options for those looking to minimize plastic in their lives, and every material used is from a reputable supplier.

For new users, Mark recommends buying coffee weekly from a local independent roaster, as they offer a variety of coffee styles to suit all palates and recommend brewing coffee within 4 weeks of the roast date. Additionally, investing in a burr grinder can elevate home coffee brewing, offering a vast spectrum of flavors to be discovered in a well-made cup of coffee.
