I’ve had my coffeemaker for almost a year and I’m not really happy with it. The coffee tastes excellent, but the tank should be removable to clean, and the timer for keeping the coffee hot should be longer than 2 hours. I realize that perhaps a great cup of coffee might not taste as fresh and great after two hours, but my mornings needs hot for 2.5 hours or 3.0 hours. Instead, I’m forced to warm up in micro, yuck! We add a creamer that’s powdered, and you have to have it hot. I’m not about to buy a carafe to keep it hot , for the money I paid for this. Great coffee, but too merciless on the engineering for those who are not A+ aficionado’s, or those who like to clean their reservoirs thoroughly.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Looks nice and that’s about it. This is a replacement for the same model that broke that was less than two years old. Bought to keep appliances matching color, unfortunately I don’t have high expectations.

This is the best coffee we have owned. We had a Moccamaster and replaced with this Cafe. Far exceeds the Moccamaster in terms of coffee taste, aplliance anesthetics and cost. Love thos coffee maker!

Hello - Thank you so much for taking some time to get in touch and share your review. We're sorry to see your coffee maker is no longer brewing. That is not what we would expect to happen at all.
We do have a troubleshooting step that you can try. You can perform an electronic reset, this is done by removing the power cord for about 30 seconds and then plugging it back in. If this doesn't help any, then we'd suggest taking advantage of the warranty. You can contact 1-800-430-1757 to initiate the request.
Let us know if you have any additional questions, we're always happy to help. - Jonathon@Café
