Ratio 8 vs Bonavita: Best Home Coffee Maker

[@fordon20s]

Also a huge feature for some, the heated water does not touch plastic during the brew. Even if you chose the plastic reservoir instead of the glass version, the entire water tubing of the machine is glass so only room temperature water comes in contact with the plastic reservoir. Also built in the USA.

[@BusinessPapers]

Financed it with my student loan. Really ties the room together.

[@chasereeves]

Ha! Got me.

I've had my Bonavita for 11 years, not a single issue. It doesn't take up a lot of counter real estate, which is great for smaller kitchens. Best part, it makes a superior cup of coffee. Would definitely get a new one if/when I need it.

[@JeffJacquesmd]

I had the Bonavita for years. Pros: it heats water to about 210 degrees which is great for extracting flavor. It’s easy to use It brews relatively quickly. Cons: hard to make a single cup of coffee. I had the Technivorm as well. Fell out of love with it.

[@chasereeves]

Whoa, you're next step is pretty much written in the stars. (Unless you go full manual).

[@JeffJacquesmd]

Chase Reeves I’m going to see how the Pakt travel kit works at home, before I decide on anything else. I’ve been trying to get to the exact kit, for everything, that provides me what I need without extra and extraneous stuff. You know, exceptional minimalism

1. Mornings don't make sense until the second coffee. 2. Best coffee is when you grind your own beans but each bean type takes experimentation to determine the best parameters. 3 Separate bean grinder, at the higher end, offer more control than bean to cup systems. 4 Unless you are using up a thermo-jug full of coffee within half an hour it is better to have a single / double brew system or espresso maker.

[@dantove963]

Much prefer the Bonavita over the Ratio 8 (which I fell out of love with). The Bonavita simply makes a better tasting cup of coffee. It's easy to use and doesn't take up much space. The aesthetics of the Ratio 8 I find hideous and you will definitely grow tired of it over time. Simple and better is what life should be all about.

[@neist]

I will say that the Bonavita kettles are fantastic. I've used mine daily for maybe... 5 years? Still trucking.

[@RaisingTheFree]

Anytime a coffee maker compliments my parenting skills, I’m sold.

[@zoolanderfred]

Bro, love your channel. Made a few purchases on your reviews, couldn’t be happier! Keep up the great work.

[@chasereeves]

👊

[@jacobpetersen5662]

Had 2 moccamasters previously. Upgraded to the Ratio 8. Best coffee maker on the market no doubt.

[@malena7362]

Why because I’m thinking of doing so?

[@Belgarathe]

Great video. Covering aspect that’s more than just technical such as feel and experience of making coffee. You do need a cofffee video making coffee while you talk about all the miscellaneous stuff that can’t make it in one video. Glad you’re expanding and not being zippered into just travel bags

[@chasereeves]

[@DustinBryson]

This is rad. Glad I found your channel. I am looking at this as a beautiful and functional machine to use in our mobile coffee business. You said you made a lot of coffee with it, do you think we could smash that start button for 8 hours a day without issue?

[@roniquebreauxjordan1302]

How much counter space do..you..need??? Just read about the Ratio 8

[@itisyerdad]

This was basically just a press release ad for Ratio. You didn't even show either machine in action.

[@ImAnEmergency]

4:10 we need an audiobook or podcast of daily affirmations from you

[@vcuteverything]

What's the best way of brewing for you? I remember you had loved the Aeropress back in the day. I know with the family it's tough to make a ton at once.

[@GEBrant]

Great review, Chase! One question, the KONE filter you use, is that compatible with all size batches on this machine? I'm asking because some folks say these kind of mesh filters can clog depending on the flow rate during a brew. Thanks!

[@Knowbody42]

Why don't more of these coffee makers use glass for the reservoir?

[@derhochwohlgeborene8548]

It would have been helpful to see them in action

[@cabbycabby1770]

I wish my ceramic single serve pour over complimented me on my eggs.

[@chasereeves]

Everybody deserves egg compliments, Cabby. (But if they’re consistently not great we may change up chefs.)

[@marcusurso6866]

4:11 "hey! Great job on those eggs. " lmao

[@Leahbobeahful]

love your energy!

[@lorrainegunn4111]

Cheaper? The Bonavita is $320,00 CDN.

[@thureinpaing1016]

Ouf, I thought I was splurging when I got the bonavita upgrade over mr.coffee! Agree that it is a bit plasticity, but replaced the crappy carafe with a chemex and a kone and it looks and feels almost as nice as the ratio 8.

[@chasereeves]

Alllllmost. But the morning cup can be solid either way.

[@dantove963]

Bonavita makes a fantastic glass carafe.

[@JH-jw2sn]

is Ratio no plastic or PVC inside?

[@coldrone]

hahaha I totally see the love in your eyes when you look at it..

[@M82g]

Lol. ❤️ Thanks for the great review and laugh. I enjoyed it. :)

[@ImAnEmergency]

Automatic like for Stumptown Coffee

[@Yay-hovah]

What about coffee enemas?

[@carlopaleologo2314]

Dude... I am a big fan of yours! I need a tip: I travel a lot for business. I need a pouch to bring my medicines (not a lot, just a small bag for 5-6 medicines, pills, etc.). Do you have any suggestions? Thank you! Carlo

[@boskostoybox]

Look at his video titled "best pencil/pen case"

[@zachattack83]

You almost lost me. Then you had me. So did you drink 1 or 2 pots before this video.

[@JulesFredericNerestant]

Now we're talkin..!

[@ED-jn4fg]

I’ll stick to the good ol moka

[@Manikup]

For me, nothing is better than a Bialetti to have a nice cup of coffee 🤩☕️

[@MatevzKrajnik]

Chase, you should try Gina by the Goat Story people 😁

[@chasereeves]

Great for manual brewing.

[@barbietripping]

"something chase wrote lol" I love that you never take yourself too seriously

[@peterbest4943]

I'll stick to my AeroPress...

[@geoffgoddard1296]

My Question: Is the cost justified by the quality of the brew? There is a huge cost difference. Like all technology, they will fall behind over time...By the way, you need a therapist. JK

[@wagstaff6135]

"No, we have to stay... keep using this. I bet it'll get better." The sound of a dictator with a review channel. Or the sound of two families suffering for Chase's art. Or Chase going the extra mile to give his viewers the real deal. So many perspectives within 46 seconds.

Jesus Christ, use a script. Forming coherent sentences on the fly is not your forté.

[@m7md401]

video is too long 6-8 mins should be enough

[@mlinchong]

We're not here for short videos.
