Not 5 stars because I wish the water tank was just a little bigger. I replaced my 12 cup machine with this, just wish it would brew the same amount. Great unit!
The ability to virtually dial in the strength you want, quantity and the cafe makes it the best maker I've ever had. I have been searching for years for the flexibility this coffee maker has. The timer allows me to have a cup or two waiting after my awakening. It is also easy to clean and maintain, I give it a A+ ,nice going GE Cafe!
I purchased the Cafe - C7CDAAS2PS3 coffee maker because of the brand recognition and the overall look in advertising for this product. Unfortunately for the price, I expected it to at least have a heating element on the bottom, where the carafe sits to keep your coffee warm. This is what we call in TEXAS, "Big Hat No Cattle!" It looks great in a picture, but fails to do what most way less coffee machines do? Keep a pot of coffee warm after you make it. This is nothing special and I would not purchase again.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Landed on this machine after returning a Moccamaster because there were just to many pieces and parts to deal with every day. So satisfied with the exchange. This machine makes great coffee and has convenience features that set it apart. We wake up at different times throughout the week depending on schedules so it’s not always convenient to just set my coffee to run at a certain time in the morning. I set this machine up at night, and when we’re ready for coffee, I just reach over for my phone & turn the machine on via the app. When I hear the chime alerting me that the coffee is brewed I can make my first trip downstairs for coffee. It also has four different brew strengths to choose from and you absolutely can tell the difference. All were good coffee, but medium and gold are our favorites. Lastly, it is easy to clean - the shower head cover piece comes of easily to clean oil from coffee grinds that rise with steam during brewing, the filter basket comes out easily to trash the used filter and rinse, and the lid on the carafe comes off with a large enough opening to reach in and clean the carafe properly (maybe not for very large hands, but you can see clearly in to clean well. I love this machine and am happy with the purchase. It’s been worth the price to me
I really like the stylish design of the system. Not having burnt coffee from a hot plate is very nice. The insulated carafe keeps the coffee warm all day. Plus I love anything with WiFi!
This is the coffee maker that very well could be described as "all this and brains too." The coffee brews quickly and the flavor of my coffee is fantastic with the help of the brew settings. And it is a work of art on my counter top!... Almost to the point that I have forgotten the carafe is only 10 cups instead of 12. (Um, Cafe Appliances staff, big can be beautiful too! Hint1 Hint!)
