The verdict
Ratio designs the Six around a bloom phase and a slow, controlled shower that mimics a hand pour, then holds the result in a double-wall thermal carafe rather than stewing it on a plate. Series 2 keeps the single-button operation and 40-ounce capacity and Ratio backs it with a five-year warranty. It is the premium alternative to a Moccamaster for people who want less countertop drama and a quieter, simpler machine.

What owners say
Amazon owners average 4.1 stars over 63 ratings - a young listing for the Series 2 revision, so the sample is thin compared with the Moccamaster and OXO alternatives.
