Ratio, based in Portland, has unveiled the Ratio Eight Series 2, an updated version of its automatic drip coffee maker. The Series 2 presents a significant design shift with a flat-bottom filter basket and is made with premium materials. Key enhancements include a heat-retaining lid and multiple brewing profiles. To optimize production, Ratio has moved assembly to China, citing challenges from the fragmented global supply chain and tariffs. The move aims to keep prices competitive while enhancing production viability, allowing for scale alongside Ratio's other models.
"At our size, to produce a device that's this complex ourselves is just incredibly difficult to do. We've been battling it for 10 years."
"The new brew basket features a heat-retaining lid and rests upon either a redesigned hand-blown borosilicate glass carafe or an optional thermal-insulated carafe."
