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

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 ?

My maker died after 2 months of use (no heat and it won't brew). GE is refusing to honor their warranty. It took writing a bad review here to get someone to contact me. Interestingly the original review is gone. They are flat out refusing to fix this because I don't have a receipt because it was a holiday gift, despite that I registered my coffee maker with them upon receipt. Theses coffee makers are defective, but at least the blue tooth still works ... Go with another brand. The other high end coffee makers support your appliance as long as you registered it.

I've had this coffee maker for a little over 2 years. It still makes great coffee, but the carafe is falling apart. The finish on the handle is bubbling on the top and corroding on the underside. I'm sure the handle is going to detach like so many other reviews have mentioned. There also a good amount of water trapped somewhere in the walls of the carafe, likely getting in through the corroding handle. I've tried to purchase a replacement carafe, but the thing is always sold out, likely because nearly everyone that bought this machine early on is now experiencing the same.

Makes a good pot of coffee, but it’s a pain in the butt to clean! Every day I have to deal with trying to get coffee grounds off the lid and the filter area. Bought it because it claims to Have less plastic than most coffee makers, but the filter area is still plastic So I’m still dealing with plastic getting hot

I love this coffee maker! It brews delicious cups of coffee in very little time . It looks beautiful with my other cafe appliances, all of which are perfect! My only recommendation would be to brew 12 cups instead of 10.

My wife and I bought this coffee pot for the sleek design and it matched all our other GE Cafe’ appliances. The design is amazing. However the thing we don’t care for is the coffee does not stay hot for long in the “thermal” container. If we would have k own this we would not have spent the high price for the unit.
