Hi there,
Thanks for taking the time to leave a review for your coffeemaker, we're sorry to hear about your frustration and disappointment with it. If the troubleshooting tips on page 15 of your Use and Care manual, here: https://products.geappliances.com/MarketingObjectRetrieval/Dispatcher?RequestType=PDF&Name=49-9000019-1.pdf&_ga=2.68164825.933226275.1664221150-1990870561.1664221150 - don't prove helpful, then taking advantage of your warranty, as seen on page 16, may be the next step to take.
Also, If you're experiencing heating concerns such as the unit not heating, taking too long to heat, or if coffee's not brewing:
-Check that the software is up-to-date through the SmartHQ™ app.
-Unplug the coffee maker briefly and plug it back in.
If you're find that your coffee's not hot enough or doesn't match the temperature setting:
The temperature setting is based on the temperature of the water when they contact the coffee grounds. The temperature will be lower in the carafe at the end of the brew. Because of this, checking the temperature with a thermometer is not an accurate way to verify temperature.
We do hope this helps and that we can work hard in the future to earn your trust back.
The different settings allows you to brew great coffee every time. Once you figure out the coffee to water ratio, and the proper setting, every cup will be excellent.
Question? If you need to purchase coffee outside of your home. Then you certainly need to purchase a Cafe coffee machine. It's as good as it gets. Easy to prepare and operate. The cleaning process is next to none. So reliable and in time it pays.for it's self. Enjoy your cup of coffee today with Cafe. ☕️
This is the most horrible coffee maker on the market! They should pay you money just to take it. Price is a RIPOFF! Programming is illogical. Quality is non-existent. The warranty is a total joke. Our 1st failed in less than 5 weeks. The 2nd failed in less than just over 1 year which makes the warranty non-existent. Never ever buy a GE Cafe product!!!!!!!!!

Hi there,
Thanks for leaving a review for your coffeemaker. So sorry to hear about the frustration and disappointment. We do see that one of our agents sent an email to your Yahoo account on 9/21. Be sure to check your spam and junk folder for their message in case it ended up there.
We do hope this helps and that this is taken care of for you soon.
For the price point of this coffeemaker, I would expect the coffee to actually get hot. It only gets hot when I run the water thru one time without coffee grinds, then run that “hot” water through again a second time. We have had it replaced and still same problem with the coffee maker. I would not recommend this machine, totally disappointed with the purchase. They are aware of the problem yet refuse to let us upgrade (willing to pay the difference!) to a better quality machine.
