I just want to let you know I enjoy the café small appliances I now have the toaster the coffee maker and the toaster oven all in black looks very nice I've had a pretty good
We only used our coffee make a few times and it went into a descale mode; it doesn’t brew coffee anymore. It only descales; the only function that works. We have had it on the counter for a long time to match with the rest of the Cafe appliances, and now considering throwing it away. If zero star was an option, that would be my rating of this product. I have spent numerous hours researching on how to fix it, but I’ve been unsuccessful.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

We would like to help and provide some guidance. 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 allow for brewing.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a major upgrade fro our conventional drip coffee maker. The warming plate was very inaccurate and was causing our coffee to taste bitter. The key to this model is the thermal carafe. Our coffee is heated only once during the brew process and transferred to the carafe. The coffee stays warm for nearly 3 hours.
The app did NOT work properly while setting up the connection with the coffee maker. It was only until bluetooth was activated (after googling online for 30+ minutes) that the connection was established. Horrendous interface. The brewing is also not as smooth as a traditional (simple) coffee maker. Overall, this is not worth its selling price.

THIS IS A GREAT COFFEE MAKER. The only issue I have is that the copper handle is peeling. It is an eye sore as I have all the GE Cafe appliances in my kitchen and this is the only one with blemishes. it is very disappointing as the coffee maker was not cheap. The peeling copper is the only reason I did not give this product 5 stars. I would love the company to "make this right" for all the customers having this same issue.

We're glad to hear you're overall happy with your coffee maker, and we'd like to look into this issue you're having with the handle peeling. We'll be reaching out over email to discuss this situation with you. Please respond at your earliest convenience.
Coffee grounds continue to seep into the carafe when using the maximum amount of recommended coffee ground scoops for the maximum amount of water for 10 cups of coffee. The heating element (hot plate) is inconsistent in the amount of time it stays on after brewing.

We would like to help and provide some guidance. We recommend a medium grind coffee. Any finer grind than that can lead to overflow of coffee grounds. We also recommend to use the provided scoop with a flush level of grounds. Heaping scoops can lead to too much grinds/coffee grounds and potentially cause overflows. This model unit does not have a heating plate. Its has a thermal carafe that will lock in the heat for up to 3 hours.
