GE Appliances CAFE Grind and Brew - Stainless Steel: Drip Coffee Maker with Grinder, Water Reservoir, 10 Cup Capacity

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this...but the reservoir leaks. It's not how I'm seating it in the base...it drips slowly even when I am filling it. If I leave water in the reservoir after brewing, it slowly leaks out...over the LCD screen, which apart film being annoying to clean up, can't be good for the electronics. I want to persevere because otherwise it's great. But....sigh

First one worked for just under a year and then started spitting water out of the back. Got it replaced in July under the warranty but the today, beginning of October, after making the first round of morning coffee it stopped pulling any water through. Called GE but there is nothing they can do to since it has been more than 1 year since the original one was purchased, even though the replacement they sent is 3 months old! Save your money and buy a cheaper coffee maker since you will likely be replacing this one.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I just wish I bought this 30 years ago instead of just a few days ago. 👍

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My wife and I bought this to replace our DeLonghi after it stopped working. We wanted a coffee machine that would grind or use pre-ground coffee. We also wanted the ability to make different size cups. This does it all, and it makes a great cup of coffee. Looks great on the counter too. Glad we bought it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This machine makes a good cup of coffee, which is most important at the end of the day. And it's GORGEOUS on the countertop (albeit large). I also did not experience the leaking issue that others have experienced (I was careful not to over-tighten after inserting the filter and only add water from the top). I take 2 points off for: (1) the grounds get all over the place--under the basket, on the warming unit, on the countertop--after just one brew cycle, and it's annoying to clean; (2) for the price, I'd expect the coffee to stay hot longer and would expect some more brew functions.

I have had this coffee maker for less than one year. The grinder completely stopped working. I’ve disassembled it twice and cleaned it every which way I can. Still will not work. I do not recommend this to anyone. You will be wasting your money.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We love this coffee maker... The taste we get from freshly ground coffee is remarkably better than pre-ground coffee and now we can't go back! Also, this is truly the only nice looking modern coffee maker. It always draws attention of our house guest and they comment on how cool looking it is. The only downside is that to really keep this machine running well, you need to stick with maintaining it. Make sure to replace the water filter regularly, especially if you live in an area with hard water- otherwise the line will get build-up and stop working. We learned the hard way and just took the filter out after some time, but without the filter, the water line got clogged up and then we couldn't get the machine to work at all... So we're on our second machine. Also, you'll want to make sure to clean the bur grinder, because that too can get clogged and create issues with the machine operating. Otherwise, great taste, and great look... Nothing else quite like it, so this is our perfect choice!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Our machine has broken twice now. First time the water wouldn’t pull from the reservoir at all, so I went through probably a three week process to get it replaced. Now it’s broken again about 6 months after getting my first one totally replaced. This time no matter what cup size setting you have, it only grinds like 4 tbsp of grounds.

Excellent coffee taste and easy to use. Set on Gold and grind 3. Easy setup and directions. Attractive. Love the built in grinder

Love my Cafe Grind and Brew coffee maker! Two suggestions for improvement: 1) Why is there a black power cord on a white coffeemaker and on (what most of us have) a white counter? That looks terrible! 2). How about an option for slide verses grip feet? I have to place the coffeemaker on a placemat in order to slide it out from under the cabinet in order to add water and coffee beans.

I have been loving this brewer for less than a year. Looks great, makes great coffee and adjusts to taste during dinner parties. I recently descaled it and now it leaks at the water reservoir when placed in position, I’ve done all the troubleshooting including replacing the o-ring. Tempted to buy another reservoir but my confidence is low.

Purchased through Cafe 2 plus years ago. The water reservoir discharges water over the counter. This happened a few times early on. I attributed it to the way I seated the full container back on the maker after filling. But no matter what I do, it would occasionally discharge. I chalked it up to user error. This week it emptied water over the counter 3 times. The gasket was replaced after the first failure. Hence, I am reduced to adding little water each time a cup of coffee is made or not use at all. I have checked the manual/trouble shooting tips makes no reference to this problem. For the price of this appliance, I am stunned at that this is a continuing problem. Awaiting a response from Service. But I cannot recommend this coffee maker unless you want to continually be wiping up water. Buyer beware

It makes great coffee, but it is not holding up. All the plastic parts are stained and the interior of the pot is peeling at upper rim.

Loving the machine, seems sturdy enough to work for years. The only gripe I had was the silly flimsy plastic guides for the carafe top - instead of a solid button, it has tiny u-shapes that broke the first day, fell into the carafe and ended up in my mouth. It was cheerfully replaced by the company & received right away, so no harm done, but it's a design flaw that could result in someone swallowing the plastic pieces. Beef up that vital area & I would rate the entire unit 5 stars!

Best coffeemaker I have ever owned! Love the carbon filters and ease of replacement. I use only Zero Fiktered water ( no dissolved solids). The app makes things so easy!! I usually set at 4 or 6 cups ( set as favorites). The only thing is if your kitchen is cold the carafe is cold and has a cooling effect on coffee temp. You can preheat w hot water if that is a big deal. But it’s better than burning coffee! You can nuke for 30 seconds if u don’t think hot enough. I generally don’t mind. Flavor is great! Cleaning is easy. Using timer is a gem! Grinds and heats really incredibly fast! Would recommend! The coffeemaker and carafe is extremely well made! The carafe is very solid! Again highly recommend !

Love the wifi feature. wake up and press brew. Makes a good cup of coffee. I put in my 24 oz and its all done automatically. A little cleaning but nothing crazy. I hoped someone would make a pour-over type machine like this.

My husband and I were using the carafe for making our coffee but recently moved to brewing individual cups. We are saving coffee and it always tastes so much better freshly brewed! If I would make one suggestion is would be for the carafe pour spout to be modified.

After 20+ years of being a loyal Cuisinart Grind and Brew customer, I replaced our Cuisinart with Cafe's Grind and Brew machine. We are in love. The machine looks gorgeous on our counter (we bought the white model), and the functionality is top-notch. I love that we can adjust the brewing temp--a feature not offered through Cuisinart. The app is easy to use, and I love that I can make a single travel cup.

I’ve had this machine for over a year now and it’s doing just fine! No mechanical issues whatsoever. The carafe doesn’t keep smaller amounts of coffee warm for very long. We rarely make a full pot. We usually use the Gold or Bold brew strength setting. They both brew delicious coffee. The design is beautiful and has held up nicely. We don’t put any of the parts in the dishwasher. Also, I was able to find filters on a third party site that work for this machine when this website was sold out.

Not at all the quality I would expect from something with the Cafe logo. Grinder spews coffee grounds everywhere. Including in the pot. Made of plastic so cheap it can’t be put in the dishwasher. So you have to take the entire thing apart and wash by hand. And there are lots of parts. Brand new. Received as a gift. GE will not honor warranty unless I have a receipt, which I do not as it was a gift. Run the other direction. It’s complete garbage.
