The coffee machine itself works well, but the carafe is terrible. After using it for only a few years, the material around the handle is separating and falling apart. Pretty soon it will be so bad that I won't be able to use the machine at all anymore. When I ordered this machine I was hoping it would be the last coffee machine I would ever need, but it looks like I'll be shopping for a new model soon.

We know the importance of an appliance and its parts operating as expected. Since you are no longer under warranty, we advise you to replace your carafe. You can view the compatible replacement on our parts website at the link below.
The machine makes good coffee but the thermal carafe is terrible. After only 2 years , the finish on the handle separated leaving sharp end. Now it is corroded.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

No issues until descaling then I was unable to get the machine to restart normally. Apparently from the reviews this is a common issue. One suggestion for fixing the issue was to send it for professional repair. Likely won’t do that or buy another GE Cafe either.

I’ve had mine for 3 years now and unfortunately it’s very disappointing for its cost. There are multiple announces with unmanaged condensation. The grounds basket housing condensates and makes a mess, the grounds lids condensates and makes a mess, the reservoir lid condensates and makes a mess.
Also, the LED display is beginning to get blank spots. There is no WiFi info or control over the warming plate (2 hours with no control or even a timer) Lastly, the glass carafe doesn’t pour dripless. You have to wipe its chin after every pour.

We'd like to assist you with your coffee maker. The lid on the brew basket is designed with a tight fit to capture all of the steam created in the brewing process. The water will condensate on the parts inside the brew basket at the end of the cycle and remain there until the unit is opened and cleaned.
For information on cleaning your unit, please refer to pages 14-15 of the owner's manual. Here is the link: https://products-salsify.geappliances.com/image/upload/s--7AYSkUUx--/j9ps7cfsqfoecc02numn.pdf?_ga=2.130685455.1693285100.1730221483-132335501.1644413847
As far as the LED display, we recommend unplugging the unit for two minutes and plugging it back in. Also, please make sure the cap to the carafe is on properly and not backwards. This can cause leaking and dripping to occur.

Great drip coffee maker..... until, the metal handle on the carafe finish begins to peel. It is sharp and resulted in a finger laceration. The company refused to replace it. Distinct by POOR design!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

This coffee maker makes excellent coffee and is easy to use. Love that I can start it in the bedroom and get a notification when brewing is finished before going downstairs to the kitchen. The carafe keeps the coffee hot for over two hours.
This is a good drip.i had a bunn for about 10 years and I find this make similar but do not recommend if you are not seeking a short life one that will look terrible within a year.
