CAFE Specialty Drip Coffee Maker with Thermal Carafe Matte White: GE Appliances, 10 Cup Capacity, Automatic Standby Mode

Like many of the other reviews, my brewer hasn't held up. The finish has rubbed off and the plastic parts have chipped. I have had mine about a year and for the price I would expect much more (especially from GE).

Previous coffeemakers owned included one that brewed at least three pots a day for over fifteen years, and the one we retired when getting this one, still functioning after ten years. As we have the suite of Cafe appliances, we chose this one. First hint of compromise was that the descaling instructions were copied from the previous model's manual and pasted into this one, while in actuality, the protocol is entirely different. Then yesterday, after a mere eighteen months of use, it failed. I suspect the water sensor took a cab, based on what's happening. So while the design is pleasant, and it makes enjoyable coffee, if you want something dependable, do look elsewhere. Poor quality components will rear their cheap little heads.

The Cafe coffee maker gives an error code, and it doesn't explain the reason.

So far we’ve had this coffee maker for a little over a month and we love it. The brew is so consistent and delicious. Easy clean up too, and the features are easy to use. And as a bonus, it’s pretty and matches our Cafè espresso maker 😁

Beautiful coffee maker that brews excellent coffee. It's easy to clean, looks great on our counter, and brews a pot of coffee in about 5 mins.

Besides being a very good looking stainless steel and copper (stylish) coffee maker it’s super easy to control and the brewing of the coffee itself excellent. Plus, it has enough capacity for the amount of us coffee drinkers at home would normally brew.

Made great coffee until it died after 6 months of casual use. Apparently this is a known defect. Tried contacting GE and while they were very nice, it was futile. Didn't do anything other than put me on hold. Time to buy something new....

I would love to give this coffee maker 5 stars. It does make good coffee, looks nice, and seemed built well. However I have now had 3 fail in the exact same way. They stop pumping water. The first one was replaced under warranty, which was good of them. The second maker failed in the same way, and the one that I gifted also failed in the same way. Oddly, they would pump water when you would do a descaling, however not when coffee was ask of it. Unless CAFE fixes their QC issues, I can not recommend.

It brews a great cup of coffee consistently. Easy to setup and use.

It was fine when it worked. Lasted just over 4 months before it stopped brewing. Multiple attempts to reset and/or clean have not been successful.

Works well and looks nice, however; after only three months of use the handle is peeling. It has only been hand washed. For the price, I feel like the quality of the pot could be better.

Bad quality. I got it less than a year and the copper on the handle keeps peeling off.

The cafe drip coffee maker makes great coffee. Fast & hot. And it stays hot for a long time in the pot. Now we own two of them. The black and the silver model.

No issues with this coffee maker. Wifi feature is great and it is easy to hook-up. You can set the strength and temperature of your brew and can program auto start or turn it on with wifi feature whenever you are ready! We have the stainless steel model so there is no warming plate but coffee stays hot for a few hours. We have even gone back several hours later and the coffee is still warm so a 30 second stay in the microwave heats it back up! You can also set the # of cups you want from 1 to 10. Has a metal mesh filter which we tried, but prefer the paper filters as the mesh filter has to be cleaned after each use. All around good product!

Love this product. Brewing is l5 minutes or less. Coffee taste delicious.

Looks great, makes great coffee, does not last. Didn’t even make it two years, but of course died post-warranty. Don’t buy this.

Have not had it very long, but so far it has produced very fine coffee.

We expected more from a coffee maker at this price point. We have the model before this one without the WiFi and it does look nice but the knob stopped working correctly so it takes us extra long to try get it to stop on the right number anytime we change the number of cups or time. Very frustrating.

The carafe is completely peaking and cracking. Always hand washed. How can I replace ?
