GE Appliances CAFE Specialty Drip Coffee Maker with Thermal Carafe Stainless Steel: Best Insulated Carafe, Stainless Steel, 40 Cup Capacity

After a few years use, metal is peeled off the carafe and the base is cracking. It’s just 2 people using this machine Cafe is not supportive and I do not recommend buying this.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] When I first acquired this it brewed extremely fast, the more I use it the slower the brew time. The capacity is standard of all coffee makers. I must say the carafe insulation could use some improvement as it loses temperature raqther quickly. It is confusing to set up and I still need to refer to the manual for certain functions.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So we got this coffee maker in 2022 as a wedding gift from our registry. Cafe products look awesome, loved the copper accents, and finally got a coffee maker where the carafe was double walled vs glass. This was because I prefer to drink a good amount of coffee during the morning, and I wanted to see if this would be better for preventing the burnt flavor of coffee that had been continuously heated all morning. Well it was, made awesome coffee. Still does in fact. But I'm rating it 2 stars because of the finish of the copper is wearing off on the handle of the carafe, and also on rim of the drip portion that holds the coffee while it's brewing. In my opinion, this isn't normal wear and tear, nor is it just "cosmetic" as the Cafe rep told me in an email when I inquired about having it replaced. Yes, there is a one year warranty, but really this should last far longer than three years. The cafe folks were super kind online, and were polite, but be aware, they will take no ownership to the quality of this product after the one year warranty. They will offer you access to a special website to purchase another one at a discounted price, but that's a bit insulting. Amazon almost has the same price currently. Yeah, I still like my coffee, it does a good job, however the company should do better about quality control. I won't buy another when this one is done.

The coffee does not reach 205 degrees as claimed and any remaining water in the basin leeks. I’ve called support but because this is past warranty they won’t offer any solution. Do not buy from this company

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very disappointed in this product. Pot tarnishes and coffee grinds overflow onto the water head.

The digital numbers for the cups are not clear. I have to scroll through the numbers to eventually figure out the number I’m looking for. Also, the C ON CAFE has peeled off even though I don’t wash the base of the machine. The shiny rim at the base where the coffee comes out seems rusty in 2 places. The spout makes no sense because there’s a complete rim inside the pot which prevents coffee from coming out smoothly. Poor design. It’s a handsome machine and makes fine coffee but poor design and poor quality materials. The is an additional complaint. While In the process of descaling my machine, I noticed the copper covering on the top of the handle area is bubbling in 2 places and will eventually crack and chip off.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It's okay - the coffee is excellent, but I absolutely hate how easily the carafe stained up, the carafe is poor quality plastic at top which stains like crazy.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I cannot imagine a better coffeemaker than this one! It looks elegant and sophisticated on my countertop. Visitors are always commenting on the style and beauty as well as the brew it produces. A other great feature is it’s ease of use - WiFi takes care of you. The coffee aroma is the first thing you notice upon awakening!

We have really enjoyed the look of this coffee maker and the coffee it produces, but after less than three years the copper coating on handle is flaking off making it dangerous to handle the carafe without getting scraped. Extremely disappointing quality, especially considering the cost of this product.

Love this coffee maker and it looks beautiful on my counter, but the carafe withthe rose gold peeled terribly and I cannot get a replacement for it. This was not a cheap coffee maker and I am terribly dissapointed since I live in GE's backyard and my son worked for GE before COVID. Not happy!!!

The Material on this Carafe is absolute Carafe is absolute garbage! If it weren't for it being so expensive I'd throw it away. While the machine works great, the materials that are used on the handle of the carafe won't last you 6 months

First off, I love this coffee maker. It performed as advertised, great coffee. Smart WiFi ability is sooo nice to have. Unfortunately, all of the gold/copper colored appliqué is peeling off, the handle is falling apart, the cup indicator lights only partially work making it difficult to read. I would say the quality is poor, overall. For the price, this coffee maker should last many years. Ours is falling apart after almost 3 years!! These appear to be known issues and GE should replace the units. Or, lower the price significantly. Will be exploring other options going forward

The overall function is fine but I have had this replaced for finish issues and now the second one has finish issues as well. I paid extra to have something aesthetically pleasing on my countertop but now it just looks cheap. I got the matching air fryer as well.

I’ve only had this coffee machine for a couple of months, and I already noticed a strong moldy smell coming from the water reservoir. I tried running multiple cycles with diluted vinegar, but the smell is still there. It’s extremely disappointing, especially considering how much money I spent. I honestly feel I would have been better off with a cheaper coffee maker.

Overall its makes very good coffee, but I can't recommend it thus far because the original one I received broke within a year, which falls within the warranty. This allowed me to have it replaced pretty easily, but less than a year later again, the replacement is now faulty. Even though it's less than a year from when I got this new machine, it's not within the warranty from the original purchase so they won't replace. This is frustrating for what seemed like a good coffee maker. If you want the coffee maker to last more than a year, you may want to try something else.

I ordered the white Cafe coffee maker And it is so gorgeous on my counter and the coffee taste delicious Easy to clean and use

This product was purchased for our anniversary. My husband does not drink coffee nor could he figure out how to reset the time on my old coffee maker. However when he found out that this one had the thermal pot like I wanted again and connected to the appliance app he was excited. I have been please with the capacity along with how fast it brews. Since we live on a farm I like the fact it has a replaceable filter and the materials used to make the pot seem to be high quality. My coffee was still hot today over 4 hours after it was made.

Brews Delicious coffee! The carafe keeps the coffee hot for a long time. Coffee doesn't taste bitter at all.

The white matte carafe is already scratched after only a few days of use It has a bad design flaw about the water reservoir. You cant remove it or clean it. It collects mold because it has a trim that does not allow you to clean it. You need a pitcher to fill in the water reservoir as opposed to something removable.

The coffee is being brewed thru plastic until it goes into the craft. It is very hard to clean. I would like to exchange for a stainless version. But the coffee is very good.
