GE Profile - Grind and Brew 10-Cup and Single Serve Brewer with 6 Option Adjustable Burr Grinder - Carbon Black

I absolutely love this machine, & this is a legit review! One of the main problems I read about with the grind and brew machines was that they were really messy. That's understandable, but GE has totally solved this issue! It's completely enclosed so there is no mess from grinding the beans. The SCA Gold standard setting is perfect! You can tweak it more if you want, but we haven't found another setting we like better yet. I'm also not going through coffee as fast, so we were probably using way too much before. The thermal pot keeps coffee warm for hours, and I love the fact that you can brew a pot (4-10 cups) or individual cups (6-24 oz) without the kcup feature. That alone was worth it for our household. We have different wake up times so one of us was always getting older/colder coffee. Even a small detail like having three different hand spots to grab the water reservoir adds a nice touch. A full reservoir of water doesn't last for two 10 cup pots, but you can make it last if you don't need to make as much. Cleaning the bottom part of the grinder is easy, & they give you a little tool to use. I haven't cleaned the upper burr yet, but it hasn't stalled out like my last grinder did if I went too long without cleaning it. It also has reminders for all the servicing, so I don't have to set my own. The app works great & is super convenient. Lastly, it's just a pretty appliance to have on the counter. I really dig the fact that it's matte & all blacked out. I'm not a technical coffee scientist or anything, but I haven't found anything I don't like. If you are looking for an all inclusive machine that's easy to operate, clean & maintain and makes a delicious cup of coffee, then I highly recommend!

Custom coffee strengths a plus. Contempory look a plus. Based on hi cost, plastic grinds basket and its container are a negative - boyh are fragile & poor fit - not heavy duty. Unit is taller than most & may not fit under cabi ets. Senser in coffee beans storage holder doesn't always sense coffee beans.

The coffee pot does a fine job brewing, however, it is really frustrating that no matter how long you leave you single brew cup on, it will end up spouting out more coffee so the coffee pot burner needs continually cleaned out. And, even more frustrating, when brewing a single cup, it splatters all on the counter around. This was a christmas gift so the short return time did not work for me, so im living with it, unfortunately.

I’ve been looking for a new and reliable single cup coffee maker and found this one beauty. This thing is well worth the cost. I would consider it the top of the line in this genre. Easy to use, easy to clean, and makes great coffee! I highly recommend.
