The Cafe coffee maker gives an error code, and it doesn't explain the reason.

We recommend resetting your coffee maker by disconnecting power from the unit for 2 - 3 minutes and reconnecting power. If this reset does not revert the unit back to normal operating function and eliminate the error code, we recommend taking advantage of your limited warranty.

So far we’ve had this coffee maker for a little over a month and we love it. The brew is so consistent and delicious. Easy clean up too, and the features are easy to use. And as a bonus, it’s pretty and matches our Cafè espresso maker 😁
Besides being a very good looking stainless steel and copper (stylish) coffee maker it’s super easy to control and the brewing of the coffee itself excellent. Plus, it has enough capacity for the amount of us coffee drinkers at home would normally brew.
Made great coffee until it died after 6 months of casual use. Apparently this is a known defect. Tried contacting GE and while they were very nice, it was futile. Didn't do anything other than put me on hold. Time to buy something new....
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I would love to give this coffee maker 5 stars. It does make good coffee, looks nice, and seemed built well. However I have now had 3 fail in the exact same way. They stop pumping water. The first one was replaced under warranty, which was good of them. The second maker failed in the same way, and the one that I gifted also failed in the same way. Oddly, they would pump water when you would do a descaling, however not when coffee was ask of it.
Unless CAFE fixes their QC issues, I can not recommend.

We are sorry to hear about your coffee makers not pumping water. We will be forwarding this over to our product team to review. This will allow us to look for potential improvements we can make for our models going forward. Thanks again for sharing.
It was fine when it worked. Lasted just over 4 months before it stopped brewing. Multiple attempts to reset and/or clean have not been successful.
