What are these black marks on the control panel? I returned the first one because of these marks and the 2nd one came with black marks again.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

These marks are likely caused from wear and tear of the unit. This is the finish being worn away. We recommend potentially checking into your warranty for additional assistance.

Our granddaughter bought us the brewer to match our other Cafe appliances. We have found the Carafe to be extremely fragile and replacements expensive. It time to go back to the Keurig!

Loved this coffee maker until it came to descale. Followed the direction but light won’t go off and now it stopped working. Just gives error message. This is such a disappointment considering the cost of the product. I would not recommend buying it!

We want to help out with your coffee maker not operating properly. When descale is flashing under the time display, it means that too much limescale has built up on the heater. Also, it can be important to remember when descaling, if the carafe is removed, the heater and pump is shut off and displays “Err” error code, after 2 minutes the screen will return to idle clock state. To fix the error place the carafe back.
We also recommend trying an electronic reset, which can be done by removing the power cord for 2-3 minutes, then plugging it back in.

This is the most expensive and worst coffee maker I have ever had. The coffee quality is not good. Does not stay WARM for more than 30 min. Descaled light on and will not go off after multiple treatments. And the rose gold handle has Peeled off. And we have had it for 15 months but it was not used for more than 6 months as we were in Fl

Very dissatisfied with this product. I loved how it worked but stopped brewing in less than two years regular usage. They tell me it is not repairable. I thought for the price I would get a high quality product.

This is my second Cafe drip coffee maker, The first lasted about 5 yrs then the water sensor failed. Brews well and quickly. Design looks nice but I wish it had detachable water reservoir.
Have only had this brewe for a month so can't comment on durability.
after 1 yr. the handle to the pot is peeling and ugly. not worth the price tag

Previous coffeemakers owned included one that brewed at least three pots a day for over fifteen years, and the one we retired when getting this one, still functioning after ten years. As we have the suite of Cafe appliances, we chose this one. First hint of compromise was that the descaling instructions were copied from the previous model's manual and pasted into this one, while in actuality, the protocol is entirely different. Then yesterday, after a mere eighteen months of use, it failed. I suspect the water sensor took a cab, based on what's happening. So while the design is pleasant, and it makes enjoyable coffee, if you want something dependable, do look elsewhere. Poor quality components will rear their cheap little heads.
