I bought the product since it fit my kitchen. My whole family drinks coffee and very happy with how easy it is to use and that it made their coffee better than ever!
Making coffee every morning now puts an even bigger smile on my face. There is only one downside and that the lip on the kettle could have been improved to allow last few ounces of coffee to pour out easier.
I like the coffee maker overall however after having it for a month the copper detail is already peeling off.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Overall i'm satisfied with the Cafe Coffeemaker. I gave it a 4 star for the following reasons: Would have liked if the unit had a warming plate. The carafe itself stay luke warm. I like my coffee hot, therefore I have to reheat in the microwave..
2nd - The water reservoir requires you to keep the lid open after brewing otherwise the steam builds up around the container leaving a smell. You need to dry the reservoir out. Not certain if the filter is supposed to stay wet. Overall, coffee brews quickly and tastes good. The unit itself is compact and attractive. I purchased the grey unit.
I love the look. I have a complete kitchen of GE appliances. The coffee maker is sleek in design and look. Makes great coffee East to use and clean. Just love it!
Not only is this beautiful to look at, but it is also easy to use. But most importantly, it brews an amazing cup of coffee even if you are using mediocre store brand pre-ground stuff. I'm not a coffee connoisseur about beans and grinds, but what I do want is my coffee hot and strong and this has done the job with at least 4 different types of coffee so far. I It is set to the hottest temp and Gold and haven't been disappointment.
Unfortunately this coffee maker doesn’t brew the coffee warm enough and it also lacks the ability to keep it warm. I have to microwave every cup. Great if you want iced coffee!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hi - Thanks for reaching out to us regarding your Café coffee maker. We are sorry to learn of your disappointment with the temperature of your coffee. The thermal carafe retains the heat of the coffee for a minimum of 1 hour after brewing as there is no warming plate with this style of carafe. You may want to preheat the inside of the carafe and your cup by running them both in hot water prior to starting the brew cycle to help keep your coffee warm. Your feedback is vital to the continued success of our company and will be shared with our teams. Wishing you the best! Vikki@Café
