Sally Jackson: This comes up in your search results from the UK but it is not clear it’s a US product with a US electrical setup. Maybe I should have guessed from the 110v but to be honest I didn’t actually remember what UK voltage was, I had to look it up.

Anyway, after blowing up two adapters, I finally found out I need a £99 step down transformer, which is huge and expensive, in order to power the thing.

It makes great coffee, it does. However you have to prop the water and coffee areas open every day to dry them out, otherwise it’s going to make dank coffee really soon.

I had raised my coffee-making ability to an 8/10 using thermal carafes, descaling, using filtered water and really good, fresh beans. This machine takes it to 10/10. Is it worth the hassle to get the upgrade? With a UK plug yes, but for me I wish I hadn’t bothered.

Amons: Unfortunately our Cafe coffee maker only made it about 14months before the heating element went bad.

We got this coffee make because of the features and design. What it does, it does well. We utilized the timer, the wifi, etc and it brews good coffee.

We contacted Cafe and we are outside the 1 year warranty, so they would not provide us any support. This was equally as disappointing as the coffee maker failing.

We know 2 other people who had this same element go bad just outside their year warranty as well. One paid the $150 for a fix (bringing their total to $450 for a working coffee maker- no thanks), and the other, like us, can't afford to roll the dice again.
I do not recommend this coffee maker unfortunately, or really any product by them as they do not seem to stand by their manufacturing at all. There seems to be something about the construction that causes it to fail after a year's worth of use, and at $250-$300 there are a lot of other options out there. They may not look as nice, but they probably brew just fine.

Manuel Andrade RiveraManuel Andrade Rivera: La cafetera llegó en perfectas condiciones, el embalaje es perfecto, se nota la calidad desde que ves la caja, al abrirla todo se encuentra perfectamente bien empacado. Debo decir que se nota la calidad de los materiales, tuve que pensar mucho y mucho para decidirme por este modelo, ya que estaba entre la Breville y la Oxo que también son certificadas, leí muchas reseñas de las tres, y este modelo no cuenta con mucha publicidad como los otros 2, todas con buenas y malas referencias, pero no hay como vivir la experiencia propia. Definitivamente es un gran salto de una cafetera de 300 pesos que compré hace ya un par de años a este modelo que no es precisamente barato y aun mucho mas para mi país México. Instalé la app en mi celular que fue relativamente sencilla probé con agua solamente mientras tanto, no la he probado como para dar algún otro comentario por lo que por ahora puedo decir que las primeras impresiones cumplieron mis expectativas. Estaré actualizando este comentario conforme la vaya probando

RMillerRMiller: Don't hesitate to get this smart coffee pot. It is beautiful, easy to operate and set up. Most importantly it makes a great tasting cup of coffee ☕️
I did the usual vinegar water run through of a new coffee pot, then 2 brew cycles with plain water to get the plastic newness out of any first coffee brews. Doing this also helps me familiarize with how the system works. Then I set up wifi (easy) and set it to brew at 8 a.m. on gold setting. I ground the coffee, put water in and woke up to the aroma of coffee brewing. I love that if I wake up earlier than the brew time is set for, I can go into the ap and start coffee from wherever I am.
I also have a smart Cafe range I love and microwave so that is what led me to the coffee pot in same series. The copper accents are as quality as what is on my range and microwave. I've seen some reviews saying it's cheaply made but I don't see that on mine at all. It's a heavy sturdy well made copper handle yet light to lift. Accents are all same good quality as on my appliances.
The stainless steel pot has a mouth wide enough to get in there and clean too. (The stainless steel I had before had such a small opening that it was very hard...

em33em33: So after reading some reviews here I was hesitant to buy this machine due to some reviews saying how messy it was. We'll let's just get this out of the way. I have yet to see a mess from this machine and have posted photos showing how good the coffee bed actually looks. In the photo, that is 69g of fresh roasted beans ground right before brewing using a Fellow Ode grinder. Not even close to a mess!

Now getting into the actual review. My have to haves for this machine were a timer for auto brewing for the weekdays, SCA approved and a thermal carafe. I have owned other SCA approved machines in the past like the Breville Precision Brewer, the Bonivita 8 cup and the latest was an SCA approved Ninja Machine. If the Ratio 6 had a timer that would have been in the running this time around. Unfortunately it does not and this machine checked all my boxes so I decided to give a it a try and so glad I did!

Without touching on all it's options yet, the one thing the machine needed to do in order to make it a keeper was make a great cup of coffee! If it couldn't do that, then it wouldn't matter how high tech this thing was and all the fancy stuff it could do, it was going back....
