The new 8-cup Ratio Eight Series 2 , slated for release in September , is now available for presale on Ratio ’s website.

For a limited time, preorders are discounted to $ 639 . But by September , when the 8 Series 2 is projected to go on sale for real, that price will shoot up to $ 799 .

The Ratio Eight Series 2 is one of a small number of coffee-maker companies who’ve had their devices certified by the International Specialty Coffee Association .

It's difficult, and very expensive, to make a truly plastic-free automatic coffee machine.

The preorder window offers a quite substantial discount, but it’s still not in anticipated retail price.

Ratio ’s owners and designers cited uncertainty surrounding tariffs, which is almost certainly a factor in announcing a price that’ll first take effect six months from now .

The Eight Series 2 is manufactured in China because American factories aren’t set up for custom tooling on small production runs.
