CAFE Affetto Automatic Espresso Machine + Frother Matte White: Espresso Maker with Grinder, Self-Cleaning, 2.5L Capacity

Great coffee machine, simple to use!!! There is daily maintenance of dumping the grounds and wiping down the machine, well worth the coffee

I was so excited to finally get a good coffee machine as coffee is my one and only vice. Having a machine that grinds fresh coffee with a built in frothed has always been one of my dream products…I finally caved and bought myself this coffee machine as a gift to myself for my 50th b birthday. After 2 weeks the frothed stopped working and no longer made the milk or cream frothy…it only boils it. I tried calling to get a replacement part but the task of getting through to anyone and explaining the problem was absolutely daunting and not worth my time and trouble. I went back to the handheld frother and will just continue to settle for that…it isn’t the end of the world after all to use a handheld frother…I just wish I’d never spent the money on this GE product. Poor quality!

This machine is a lemon. I descale following instructions, spoke wit( service rep and the machine will not come out of descale mode. I spent from 12 pm to 12am trying to resolve to no avail. Totally disgusted and dissatisfied. I don’t use it often and after a year each time descale has been an issue. No one recommended exchanging!

The machine leaked water out the bottom and had to be returned.

Best espresso ever! I love this this machine! Makes the best espresso easily and no mess. Definitely worth it.

This GE Cafe Espresso machine is a lovely little gem. It looks great, is easy to use and understand, set up was easy, and I loved my first cup of Espresso Americano.

Very good machine ,very easy to use,cute color and good quality

Gorgeous machine and delicious results! I have found it easy to setup and use. I can’t wait to wake up and make a latte in the morning!

First time ordering my own espresso machine. This is super simple to use. And Love the look!

Terrible in so many ways. I have exhausted so much of my time and energy into this machine only to result in continued disappointment. Most recently, someone pointed out the words on the cintrol panel were coming off to which I realized when i wipe my machine down with a damp cloth (water only, never any cleaners or scrubs!), the lettering literally wipes right off without if applying any pressure or scrubbing! Overall, I am extremely disappointed as I always viewed Café as a high-end, high-quality brand.

After 1 year and a half the coffee maker started do dispense watered coffee and display messages like add beans" when the container is full or "descale" after I have just performed the procedure. I would love to take it for support option instead of throwing it away.

It's a beautiful machine that beats "basic" and creates espresso/coffee a Kuerig/K-cup can't compete with. I love that it freshly grinds, has a water tank, steam wand, and capacity to catch grinds. My biggest complaint is that it's not a "one touch" espresso machine as advertised because it automatically shuts off requiring you to power it up and run through a rinse cycle at EVERY power up. The machine automatically turns off after your preferred setting of 15, 30, or 45 minutes without an option to keep it on throughout the day or night. Each time you approach the machine (after auto shut off), you have to turn the power on, place a cup under both the espresso dispenser and steam wand, wait about 43 seconds, catch what is being rinsed out, dump the rinse, then choose your style of coffee. It's worth the work, but I probably would not have bought it if I knew it wasn't one touch. The steam wand is not as easy to remove for cleaning as the video shows, and I would prefer the wand be adjustable like the espresso dispenser. The steam wand doesn't seem consistent, but I'm still learning how to use it.

So far so good. I do wish I could make a larger cup, but I’m sure I’ll figure that out.

Solid construction, easy to use and maintain. Makes excellent espresso and Americanos.

I love this product! I moved from the Bellissimo to Affetto & have no regrets! It is so simple to use! I do wish that the steamer would get a little hotter & the frother would be adjustable like the espresso dispensing spout. But overall highly recommend!

Easy to use machine. Makes a good cup of coffee. Only caveat is I wish the water well was a bit bigger but is sized to what every other machine I’ve had. It’s easy to clean and rinses itself before every cycle which is nice.

I’d really like to give this espresso maker more stars, unfortunately it has started to leak (brewer) and it is very difficult to clean. When I remove the brewer and try to return it to the base, it is very difficult. Shouldn’t be doing this as it was very expensive.

I absolutely love this machine. Coffee has never tasted so good!

If you want to spend all day figuring out how to make a coffee, this is your machine. Terrible instructions. Very unclear. Trying to figure out how to get more than 1 or 1.5 ounces is a complete guess. Would it be so hard to say you'll get 5 or 7 ounces when you select a certain function? Total guesswork. So much for instructions actually providing any useful information.

Super simple to use. We went from buying lattes every weekend to just making them at home and enjoying them even more. I’ve enjoying playing around with my foam art!
