The Ratio Four<\/span> coffeemaker does one of two things: It will make one delicious mug of coffee. Or it will make two delicious mugs of coffee.<\/p>\n

Technically, you could also make one and a half mugs of delicious coffee, or a half a mug. But this is where it stops. This is the end of what the device will accomplish.<\/p>\n

What a rare and wonderful achievement.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s the thing. Your classic drip coffeemaker is a wonderfully simple and useful device, but it shuns the singleton. It looks sideways, even, at a couple. A 12-cup coffeemaker makes large batches fit instead for offices, diners, and church socials.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not a big problem, per se. But it is a bigness<\/em> problem. If, like many of us, you live in a one- or two-adult household, even an eight-cup carafe can be a real responsibility unless you take your coffee in IV form or leave it on a burner all day to get oxidized and weird. I think about this every time I pour out the sad remains of a half-full carafe. Small wonder people resort to pod coffee, even while sacrificing flavor.<\/p>\n
