I purchased the appliances set for my kitchen in white/brushed bronze, my husband decided to gift me the coffee maker, however the white coffee machine's handles do not match with the standard color of the white kitchen appliances (stove/fridge/dishwasher handle's standard color is white/brushed bronze)... the coffee maker is white/brushed copper, why will you do something like that?, it is supposed to match, otherwise do not present it in pictures as a set. I have not used it yet so I can not comment about performance, just upset about the color...
I would recommend this to a friend!

Hi adriana - Thank you for taking the time to post a review on your new coffeemaker. We are sorry to hear of your dissatisfaction with the color finish of the accents and handle on this unit. The copper color for the accents and handle were selected as it matches the copper cuff on the handle of your large Cafe kitchen appliances. We will be happy to share your concerns with our small appliance design team for future product offerings. We apologize for any inconvenience or distress this has caused you. Vikki@Cafe
I have had this coffee maker for a month now. It is gorgeous! 3 stars are for actual functionally. After pouring a cup of joe no matter the angle coffee always drips down the front of the kettle. Also when lifting the coffee filter lid water always drips down the sides of the machine. Outside of these design flaws I love it.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Please reach out to us directly: https://www.geappliances.com/ge/service-and-support/contact.htm We look forward to hearing from you. Vikki@Cafe
We expected a great deal more for the price. There are numerous models with features that make this look pedestrian by comparison. It seems they're trying to leverage a brand name for the sake of profit. This Chinese coffee pot shouldn't have made the internal approval cut.

The look of the this coffee maker is better than any other I have seen on the market. It makes great coffee. My biggest complaint is the carafe. I do not feel that it keeps the coffee warm long enough. I feel that the temperature decreases fairly quickly and that I am heating my cup up after just 30 to 45 minutes. Also the "smart" portion of the device is not all that great since you need to completely set up the machine before it is ready to go. A timer works almost just as well.
You are not only buying a coffee maker, you are buying a small piece of artwork for your kitchen counters! The unit is beautiful. My only issue with the unit is how tall it is. It fits under cabinets, however, I have to move it to fill up water and put ground coffee.
