Coffee maker is great. The ability to preset and have it made while your still in bed or control it from wifi and start it up whenever you like is like magic.
I like how the machine looks and the smart controls are excellent for setting the temp and brew time. However, I am consistently finding coffee grounds in my cup I have tried both paper filters and the reusable the result is the same. and not having a detachable water tank is less than ideal too.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

First off, let me say that I LOVE the machine itself. It makes great coffee, quickly. But, I have only owned the machine for a few months and the thermal carafe has water trapped inside the carafe walls! I would think about getting the glass carafe, instead, if you are interested in this machine. Wish I had purchased that one, instead!
I would recommend this to a friend!

GE had to replace this for me after about 15 months as it stopped brewing.That being said, they were nice about it, and all is well in my coffee world again. If I were to purchase again, I would consider the black or stainless; the white matches my suite of appliances but is harder to keep from looking stained. The other colors would provide a nice accent and be much easier to keep up.
I love this coffee maker: the way it works, the options I can choose, and the customer service! I think I got overzealous with my first one by cleaning it before it needed it and it stopped brewing. I contacted customer service and within a week, I had a new one. It has worked without issue since (3 months ago). I love the options to choose what kind of brew and how many cups. I also love the insulated carafe and do not need to worry if I left the coffee pot on when I leave the house. Coffee stays warm for 6 hours in the carafe, maybe even longer! I also enjoy hearing the bell once it has finished brewing. Worth the cost. I would love to have the fancier coffee makers (like the espresso machine) but this is a fantastic daily workhorse.
