I'm not a coffee gourmet. I don't grind my own beans. I use French Market coffee from a can. Nevertheless, this machine makes the best cup.of coffee I've ever had. It's wonderful to have that experience everyday.
We bought this coffee maker to replace an old one of another manufacturer. We love the way this coffee maker makes coffee and look forward to using it for years to come. Also, it's just plain beautiful.
This is the best home made coffee I've ever had. The machine is stylish and looks amazing. I've been extremely pleased with the product and coffee so far!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Hello- Congratulations on your new Coffee Maker. We agree, this is a beautiful model and it does make a great cup of coffee. We are so happy to hear you are enjoying the coffee and pleased with your purchase. Thank you! Joyce@Cafe
My old coffee maker failed & it was time to research a new one. I like my coffee hot. This coffee maker agrees with me & let’s me brew up to 205°. It took a few tries to get just the right cup of coffee for me, but I did. I really love this machine!
I would recommend this to a friend!

I would give this coffee maker 5 stars except getting a replacement water filter is next to impossible. I’m not talking about the nest filter that holds the coffee grounds. I’m talking about the charcoal filter that fits into the basket at the bottom of the water reservoir.
Onto the brewer, it makes great coffee. I’m a coffee snob. I buy fresh roasted beans from a artisan roaster and grind enough for one pot. I never thought I’d grind the beans the night before brewing but this machine is Alexa enabled and getting out of bed to find my coffee waiting for me makes that worthwhile. You can set the strength of the brew and the temperature of the water to your personal preferences.
It’s a shame that something as simple as a filter is next to impossible to purchase. Come on GE you can do better that this!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
