Makes great coffee but the app good be better. Won’t brew coffee if the carafe isn’t properly situated. It may look like the carafe is properly placed but it isn't. An indicator that the carafe is properly placed. Also, it does not reliably responde to Alexa commands.

Hi,
Thank you so much for taking the time to share about your coffee maker. We appreciate the feedback and we're more than glad to provide guidance!
You are correct in saying that this coffee maker will not brew without the carafe in place. The top of the carafe must be engaged with the drip stop lever on the bottom of the brew basket. If not, the water won’t flow into the carafe and the basket may overflow during the brewing cycle. You can find this information on page 10 of the owner's manual: https://products-salsify.geappliances.com/image/upload/s--7AYSkUUx--/j9ps7cfsqfoecc02numn.pdf?_ga=2.165745534.1339044369.1701872713-132335501.1644413847

New kitchen renovation with all Ge Cafe series appliances including Drip Coffee maker. Matte white. Absolutely gorgeous. Exact look and style desired. Thermal coffee pot defective. Followed manual exact for proper cleaning. Exterior portion of thermal pot filled with water and the matte white finish is completely chipping away. Maybe a defective pot? The machine works excellent. Super bummed. Can I buy a new thermal pot?

Hello - Thank you so much for taking a moment to connect and share your review. We're sorry to see that the carafe has started to chip on you. That is not something we want or expect.

We look forwarding to hearing from you. - Jonathon@Café
This product is great and is very user friendly. I especially enjoy the carafe style pot that keeps your brew hot and never burns your coffee like others with a hot plate. Another consideration is the quality you get for a fair price point. Enjoy your new CAFÈ as I do mine.
