Do NOT buy this coffee maker. I bought it to go with my Cafe appliances. We have had two stop working in a year. We went through the warranty for one of them. And that was a hassle. Now the second one broke. I am throwing it away. Both of them broke around the 4 month time period. Don’t waste your money or time.

Looks great
The coffee maker is stunning, looks great on my counter. I just wish it was easier to use. I am using the app because I can’t figure it out any other way.

Excellent coffee maker.
Makes a great pot of coffee.Looks great on my counter top. Only holds 10 cups, but my morning coffee is more flavorful than with my old coffee machine. Not sure if it’s the reusable filter or the temperature that it’s brewed at, but definitely a better cup of coffee.

Looks great, doesn't last
The machine is beautiful, and at first it brews amazing coffee, but as many have posted, it is not durable. The paint is flaking now after 2 years, the coffee does not taste good anymore. There is a strange flavor to it now.

Poor quality materials
The carafe itself is made of poor quality. Not only did the white stain almost immediately, but the metal material is peeling off, and I’ve had it a year.

Expected More
I expected so much more from a coffee maker at this price point. There are a few display defects. The control panel has black defect lines on the side. The Brew button is twisted and not centered. The coffee filter does not fully filter out coffee grounds. It’s a beautiful machine but very disappointed
1 reply from Cafe_Appliances team - 3 months ago
We want to help you with your coffee grounds not filtering properly. We recommend using either the mesh basket filter (included with the unit) or a No. 4 paper filter and place into the brew basket insert. We are going to share your comments regarding the brew button and display with our product team for review.

Nice addition to our Cafe kitchen
For a long time I was hesitant to purchase this coffee maker due to reviews about the metallic finish flaking off. At some point I got over it and took a chance because we are happy with all of our other Cafe appliances. So far no quality issue with the finishes. We are very happy with the coffee it brews. We have been dedicated french press users for years and wanted to change our morning routine. The recommended water to ground coffee ratio is a little stronger than what I used in our french press, but we think it tastes great. Strong and very smooth. We have tried several brew setting combinations but settled on just using the Gold setting. It has been consistently better than what I was creating with the french press. My favorite Sumatra coffee was fabulous. This coffee maker is easy to use and clean up. We are very pleased with our purchase.

Quit working after 90 days. Zero support.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The coffee was fine while it lasted, but it only lasted 3 months before it quit working. There is no error message, I fill it, start it, and it just sits there and makes no coffee. The manual directs you to the care section of the website. The care section of the website is a pdf of the manual sending you to the website. In other words, they provide as much care as coffee — exactly zero.

Poor quality materials
I've had this coffee maker for 2.5 years and the areas that have metallic finish are all peeling off and look terrible. It makes great coffee but the materials should last longer that. I have taken very good care of and only ever wash it by hand with non-abrasive cleaner, so I'm disappointed in the quality and would not purchase again.

Looks pretty, but breaks quickly!
I love the way this coffee pot looks on my counter and it makes a great cup of coffee, for about 2-3 weeks before it breaks. I'm on my 2nd one, after much jumping through hoops to get a replacement, and this new one has already broken, too. They are poorly made and very fickle, and this is coming from someone who has had multiple Cuisinart coffee pots that have lasted 5-10 years each.

Lukewarm coffee
I hate this machine! I had it replaced once because the coffee comes out lukewarm and the new one did the same! I couldn’t imagine it was going to happen again so I threw out the box and now I’m stuck with it!

Beautiful coffee pot
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The coffee maker is beautiful but a little difficult to figure out how to just get all of the settings right and just brew a pot of coffee. I wish it was just touch and go would be helpful

We'd like to provide some information on how to navigate the controls on the C7CDABS2RS3. We recommend you review pages 5-13 of the Owner's Manual that you can find here: https://products-salsify.geappliances.com/image/upload/s--8UIdzf24--/j9ps7cfsqfoecc02numn.pdf

Pro's and cons, both sides
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Pro's It's a nice looking coffee pot, easy to fill the water, I like the settings to be able to brew different pot sizes and different temperatures. I just learned how much coffee flavor can be increased by brewing different roasts at different temperatures. Fairly easy to connect to the wi-fi app and use that. Con's , It broke within 4 months, and then took 5 weeks, 5 phone calls, talking to 11 different people in 4 departments, spending 92 minutes on the phone to get a replacement.

Good Coffee Maker
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I ordered the Cafe coffeemaker in stainless steel and it is a really pretty addition to our kitchen. The coffee tastes good and is very hot. It is relatively easy to clean. I'm very pleased with this purchase.
