Best Christmas Gift!
Received this as a Christmas gift last month overall I am impressed with the brewing styles and the flavor of my coffee. I love the convenience of the app in getting my coffee set up for the week to brew automatically. A few items I have found since using I would like to mention. 1. There is no heat only or hold function for keeping coffee hot. When it first brews it is perfect however it only last about 45 minutes. After this it is lukewarm at best and requires a heat up in the microwave. 2. Have to manually adjust the setting from carafe to mug if you want to brew a cup only from your phone it is not possible if it on carafe. 3. It uses a lot of water and beans compared to my Ninja from before. I fill up the water reserve every night and I only had to do this on my Ninja every 2-3 days. I am also going through more beans than before. Since I started using it the last 3 weeks I have already had to buy 2 bags of beans size 2.2 pounds. On my previous machine I only bought once a month. This is an added expense I wasn't expecting. 4. My housekeeper accidentally threw away my wire basket and I haven't been able to replace it. I ordered what I thought was a replacement through Amazon and it doesn't fit so the basket will close. There is no replacement part I have found on this website or Amazon. Overall, I do love the convenience of not having to have two separate appliances on the counter. I like the brewing of the coffee I haven't had so far any leaking issues except when I brewed a pot and that is when I found out my wire basket was gone. You must use some type of filter at all times.

2 months agoDo NOT buy this
Don’t do it. It’s pretty. It looks nice. I fell for it even after reading some bad reviews. Unless they change the engineering of the bean hopper; it won’t work. I bought one brand new, it wouldn’t grind. GE sent another, brand new, it wouldn’t grind. Worse part? You had to turn the entire contraption upside down to empty out the beans. I ordered an entire GE Cafe Suite. I bought this as an add on. Now I’m nervous, I’ll be honest.

Don't Buy
Terrible product. Less than a year old and leaking water. Has had issues since I got it where you have to add beans or water when it wasn't the case. Looks great but not great design for the purpose. I'm no buying Cafe appliances again.

2 months agoWe love this machine
This machine is great. Once we found the grind time on the app, it became even more perfect. The flavor of fresh ground coffee can not be beat. There are so many options that the perfect cup is possible. We also love the delay brew so we can wake up to the aroma of our freshly ground and brewed perfect cup. The carafe keeps the coffee warm for the better part of 2 hours, more if it is full. The water reservoir is so easy to clean and fill. This matches all of our other Cafe appliances and is a great addition to our kitchen.

MACHINE IS COMPLETELY USELESS
THIS PRODUCT IS COMPLETELY USELESS. ALL IT DOES IS BREW HOT WATER. THE BEANS CANNOT MAKE IT INTO THE GRINDER. EVEN WHEN YOU STUFF THE BEANS IN, THEY DON'T EVEN GRIND, JUST TURN IN THE GRINDER. DO NOT ORDER THIS PRODUCT IF YOU WANT COFFEE

Be advised
This brewer makes pretty good tasting coffee, however, there are some drawbacks. 1) the cost of this brewer is quite expensive. 2) I have only been using this brewer once per day (and NOT every day) for the last 6 months, and despite the fact that I meticulously clean the carafe with EVERY use, it is stained inside and on the plastic lid. 3) It is extremely labor intensive to keep the coffee shute cleaned out so it will function properly. 4) Brewing even a single cup takes at least 4-5 minutes to completely finish and 5) There is no way to use a coffee "pod" with this brewer to simplify. For these reasons, I cannot with good conscience recommend purchasing this particular coffee brewer.... the time required to clean it daily is just more than expected.

CAFE - Creative Coordination
The coffee maker completes our CAFE kitchen appliance collection! Fresh ground and brewed coffee is the best! The grinder doesn't seem to feed the beans in very well - they have to be manipulated. Maybe that will change over time?

This thing sucks
I have now owned both of your yucking piece of ehit, coffee makers, which neither one of them can heat coffee. I have now had to heat all coffee made from your coffee makers in the microwave to bring to any kind of temperature and after this morning, I will never buy any more of your yucking coffee makers. I have destroyed my kitchen all because your coffee maker will not brew if the brew basket is not closed. Good enough I plan on having a very good weekend taking a shotgun to this yucking piece of ehit coffee maker you guys need to shut your product line down immediately. It is absolutely worthless. I hope every person who tries to buy your freaking coffee maker reads this review and this stops them from buying one. I will never buy another coffee maker from you. It will not heat. It will not brew it will not do a yucking thing but be a paper weight.
