simple but has issues after warranty
I've had good luck with the GE Profile Espresso Machine with Frother for 18 months with next to no issues. Cleaning is relatively easy and no complaints about size and weight as I don't have it under a cabinet, refilling water is no issue. I thought it was built well, weighs quite a bit more than my pod espresso machine. It started collecting water in puck bin, just like reviewer "regretful_purchase" from 2 months ago, now, its leaking espresso around the dispenser similar to the reviewer Stu67's 3-month old review of Cafe Affetto. I would recommend this for its simplicity if longevity isn't an issue.

DON'T WASTE MONEY
Worked fine and then a clicking noise started. Won't brew and won't dispose the grinded coffee. Tried calling support and got "we don't support small appliances". Tried ordering the part and been waiting for 3 months with the time constantly being changed.

Began breaking after one year
Makes great coffee. Fantastic aesthetic. Does not last. After one the hose that delivers the coffee became disconnected. I was able to dissemble it and repair it on my own. It was a weak hoes clamp that failed. Luckily I am quite handy and have tools to do this myself. I fixed it and began using it again. After two more months the unit began leaking water. I was able to dissemble it to discover that two water delivery gaskets failed. One in the water tank and a second one in the water deliver system. GE does not sell these. I cannot order them and there is no description available to find out what kind they are. If I had paid full price for the machine I would be furious. Instead I am left incredibly disappointed. Such a shame. Seems to be a pattern amongst reviewers. I was expecting a much longer lifespan from GE's machine. Avoid this hard to find unit.

Amazing machine!
This is the easiest, most low maintenance espresso machine I’ve ever used. I LOVE making coffee every morning now, and the ease of cleaning is so nice. I also only have to fill the water/beans very rarely - it holds so much water and beans! Amazing machine that works beautifully!

Brew unit problems
I’ve had this machine (no frother) for 4 months. Everything wonderful. Then this morning it ground beans and stopped. Said check coffee brewer. Coffee beans all over the place inside )(I clean weekly) so I removed coffee brewer to empty and clean. Now it won’t go back in. Something is not lined up I think. I’ve unplugged etc but can’t get the flashing check brew unit to stop. I think it needs a hard off but can’t do it.

Worked great until after the warranty expired!
This machine was working fine for a year and a half, but then whenever I steam milk, an excessive amount of steam comes out of the side of the machine and the grind pucks have become very watery. I have seen others complain about internal leaks online. It's a shame because it made a great cup of coffee. One would expect that spending such an amount of money on a coffee machine would at least get a couple of years of use. These issues started literally 4 months after the warranty expired.

Watery espresso
Hopper is not steep enough to feed beans into the grinder without constant stirring.

Stir the beans!
Easy to use. But I like my coffee strong, and I have to stir the beans constantly to be sure they feed into the grinder on the small setting. I also make 4 shots of espresso for one latte, so although slower than the fancy expensive machines, it is faster than manual!
