What is error 4 mean? I had to clean my unit because while brewing the coffee grains exploded everywhere and now it says error 4?
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hello,
We appreciate you taking a moment to get in touch and leave a review. We're sorry to hear that your coffee maker is getting an error code.
We recommend resetting your coffee maker by disconnecting power from the unit for 2 - 3 minutes and reconnecting. However, the error code 4 means NTC is loose contact with heater or heater doesn't operate.
If the coffee maker is still under warranty, please refer to page 16 of the manual at this link here: https://products-salsify.geappliances.com/image/upload/s--7AYSkUUx--/j9ps7cfsqfoecc02numn.pdf?_ga=2.262695564.1265059875.1696857927-302677575.1657120421

1 star for functionality, 5 stars for the aesthetic. I have used this coffee maker for several months now, almost daily. The huge design flaw is the size of the coffee basket. You will see other reviews and might think it’s user error, but it’s not. When using the recommended amount of coffee, even when ground very coarse, at 7+ cups the basket of grounds will begin to overflow and make a mess. If you attempt to make 10 cups of coffee you will absolutely have a mess on your hands. Sure, it’s not a huge deal, but it ultimately ruins the experience. If you have guests over and want to make a 10 cup pot, just know that there will be grounds in the pot and possible bubbling over the top of the basket.

I’ve been searching for a beautiful yet functional coffee maker and I hit the jackpot when I purchased this. The coffee is so delicious and the set up is quick and easy. I love the auto-brew function and the accessibility it provides with the app.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Hi,
Thanks for choosing Cafe! We're so glad you're enjoying the functionality and operation of this coffee maker. Thanks for sharing and have a wonderful day!
I bought this coffee make in June 2022 and think it makes great coffee. And it stays hot in the thermos for the entire morning which is a big win! Unfortunately the enamel on the handle has cracked and bubbled (which doesn’t look great but also slightly sharp). As the few stains show, we have not put this in the dishwasher.
Again great coffee but not so great ‘hardware’.

Hello - Thank you so much for taking a moment to connect and share your review. We're so sorry to see that the handle has cracked. That is not something we expect to happen.
With this in mind, we are going to forward this over to our design team. This way they can review everything and look for ways to improve for our models going forward. Again, we are sorry that we have let you down.
Let us know if you have any questions, we're always happy to help. - Jonathon@Café
Not sure about the coffee maker.. Cannot get the coffee to taste right. It has an after taste. We’ve tried all the settings. Nothing works. I called support, no help from them. The lady said she had no idea what to do. We had a Mr. Coffee drip machine, that was wonderful. It has been discontinued. But if you can tell me how to set your machine to make the coffee the same as the Mr. Coffee machine, I’ll be happy to give you a better rating.

I have had this coffee maker for 14 months. Would be 5 stars if the handle didn't peel and cut my hand!

Hi,
We're sorry you had this experience with your Cafe coffee maker. Having the handle peel is unexpected and not at all the reliable experience you deserve. We'll have an agent reach out to you via email for more information. Thank you for your patience, we'll talk to you soon.
