Cafe Affetto Automatic Espresso Machine + Frother Matte Black: Espresso Maker, Self-Cleaning, Whole Beans, 1.2L Capacity

I’ve have had this machine for 2 yrs, then all of a sudden water and grinds started filling up the waste tray and onto my counter. What a waste, called for service and was told unless I had an extended warranty there was nothing they could do. This is junk.

From the rinsing to the letting me know when it needs water and empty the tray, just perfect. Plus, the narrow fitting is not obtrusive in kitchen. I just love it. Clean cup of espresso each time!

Love the sleek look and it makes great espresso! Very easy to operate, very consistent!

Positive- cofe grinder is good, the end product is good. Negative - small water container, app does not provide the notification beforehand that water in the tank has to be fill up. The cup size max is only 5.5 mg

So far I really like this machine. It turns out a great espresso with out a complicated procedure. It also looks great on my counter.

This espresso machine is great for beginners. You don't have to do much as most of it is automated other than the milk frother. The cleaning part gets a bit much at times as the grinder spills coffee grinds all over the compartment, so I normally do a deep clean every couple of weeks. The only negative for me at least is that by the time I am done with everything, its barely warm so I usually froth the milk twice to get it warm enough and its not fun holding the steel pitcher for that long and I know I am being picky but wish the pitcher handle was a bit rounded so it was easier to hold but I guess I can always buy a replacement one.

Makes a great tasting cup of espresso! Easy to use and maintain

Four stars for the convenience and ease of use for a functionally blind elderly mom to be free to have fresh hot espresso whenever she wants it. One star off for design flaws. The overflow bin for the grinds is poorly designed and fails to catch the grinds and it's a mess to keep clean. A pull out tray would be a smarter idea tbh. This needs a re-design. The drain overflow has uncessary nooks and crannies that accumulate coffee oils that are difficult to clean out. Why so many molded crevices? The drain could be so much simpler and easier to clean. The coffee itself is never hot enough so it requires an additional 30-60 seconds in the Microwave. An extra hot setting would be a nice feature to add. Finally, this needs a water reservoir twice its current size.

All is great except the power light constantly blinks and we do not know how to make it stop.

I love everything about this espresso machine except one thing. It’s beautiful, makes delicious coffee, easy to use, has good personalization options. But, I’m on my third machine in 2 years. The first one had an issue right after the warranty expired. I liked it so much I got another, but this time I got an extended warranty. Unfortunately, it had an issue throwing dry grinds Into the tray. GE sent me a new machine because I was within my warranty. I hope the third time is the charm!

The rose gold has almost completely peeled off from the drip tray.

Very nice consistent quality of coffee. I drink a Dbl Americano and my wife makes Dbl Cappuccino. I did set it up to wifi but Im not sure what it does so anyway… We both worked in Food Service our 40+ years of our careers and have had great coffee experiences both here and abroad. This was a gift for her retirement and it is a great addition to our kitchen/dining arsenal. Our old brewer is collecting dust. All in all a well designed, user friendly appliance

Fails after 1.5 years. After that it can make cold water hot. Reviews all over Internet reports the same thing.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This machine brews a delightful espresso. The Americano and espresso outputs are customizable through the app which make sit a breeze to use. The frother has worked flawlessly. The only downside is the hopper capacity and capacity for the waste bin. They both require regular attendance so placement under the shelving makes it difficult to refill the water reservoir and bean hopper.

Fantastic! The design is beautiful and sleek. It’s a little tricky at first, but once you get the hang of it, you can enjoy specialty coffee right in the comfort of your own home.

It’s one of the easiest automatic espresso machines I’ve used. I’m really pleased with the design as well.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My husband and I love this machine. The coffee tastes full and rich and we love the options of brew sizes. The frother is so easy and convenient too! My favorite things about this machine are the sleek build, ease of use and it limits countertop mess.

Best home brewed coffee ever! This is equal to a trip to my favorite coffee shop, without ever leaving home 😄

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] One star off for the brew unit not clearing the puck completely on its own so I clean out the brew unit after each brew. Aside for the concern about the brew unit this is a wonderful machine. I live with an elderly mother, in her 90s, and she is completely incapable of making her own coffee and this machine has liberated both of us from relying on me to make the espresso with the stove top espresso maker that was becoming impossible for me to open (it twists and the vacume from brewing made it nearly impossible to deal with). I love this espresso machine.
