This coffee maker is beautiful, but, the cup of coffee is what matters most. This coffee maker delivers such a balanced and smooth cup in no time. Parts are easy to clean. Gold setting is perfect. Coffee stays hot in carafe. My only gripe is the carafe does keep about 1 oz. or less of coffee behind and you have to remove the top to pour the rest, but, that’s really minor. Also wish you could remove the water resorvoir. Brewing 4 cups takes 3 mins, super fast. Color of machine is more of a dark charcoal gray then a black. Super easy to wipe down and clean, doesn’t show streaks. Above all, I’m very impressed with coffee quality.
Brought because it matched the refrigerator and so love it! As beautiful as expected and the carafe is such quality! Absolutely recommend. Even the packaging is first class.
I would recommend this to a friend!

We bought all new Cafe appliances and waiting for them to come in. So when we saw there was a matching coffee maker, just HAD to get it! Great coffee, easy to clean and looks amazing Can't wait to get all our new Cafe appliances.
The machine is beautiful and the coffee it makes is a step above, it’s noticeably better than average drip coffee makers, I can change the temp and strength, the thermal caraf keeps the coffee hot for at least four hours. The color and design of the machine are what attracted me to it, it has a high end look and the way that it sits under the cabinet is what I wanted. Now to the bad part, this is the third coffee maker I’ve had, the first one quit after three months, the water just quit pulling through the maker to drip over the grinds. The second machine quit after four months the exact same way. We’re using the third machine currently so we shall see how long this one lasts. This is a very expensive coffee maker which I didn’t mind paying for and the company has been very good about sending new ones but both times the machines have quit we’ve had to wait two weeks without a coffee maker which is very inconvenient because we are all day coffee drinkers. So all in all, this coffee maker makes great coffee, it looks very good, it has added features that we actually use but I don’t think I would spend the money on it if I had to do it over again. Let me add that it was a Christmas gift form our son in law and daughter and they were very excited to get it for us so their disappointment is also upsetting to us. The whole experience has been annoying to say the least. My hope is that Café has made the corrections needed to this coffee maker so that it will work for a long time. I’ve had very inexpensive coffee makes work for years with no issues and this maker is the cost of 6-8 cheapies.

Hi there, and thanks for reaching out to us about this specialty drip coffee maker. We are glad that the unit is making coffee you consider to be a step above, and that you're enjoying the features and look of the model as well!
We do sincerely hate to hear you've had an issue with the first two units needing to be replaced; we know how much of an inconvenience that must be, especially when coffee is such an important part of your routine. Your feedback regarding those former units is being sent to our Coffee Maker Design team for review and possible future alteration. We appreciate you letting us know what went wrong with those units so we can work to make any needed corrections going forward.
We will work to earn back your faith in us going forward, and provide an improved ownership experience. We are confident your current coffee maker will provide excellent coffee for you for a long time to come, but are available if you have any further questions or concerns. All the best! -Sarah@Cafe
First thing's first, this is a supremely well built and well thought out coffee maker. Particularly for people that live in higher elevations because you can choose your brewing temperature down to the degree. Very nice feature. Other than that one particular feature, the coffee maker operates like any other drip coffee maker. Varying degrees of brew style, auto brew, and wifi connectivity are all things I've seen on other coffeemakers. However, I have not seen coffeemakers that fit into a space and are lovely to look at and interact with. the tactility and aesthetics of this coffee maker are unmatched in this category of appliances, which, to me, is the main reason that one should get this coffee maker. I proudly display my café coffeemaker on my countertop.
