Bought this because was slightly less than other expresso machines with built-in grinders. It performs well. Only complaint is that the grounds occasionally stick in the chute. I've taken to tapping the chute before removing the handle. It's a small thing, but for this price, I feel like it should operate flawlessly.
Hi, we appreciate you choosing GE Appliances and its a pleasure having you with us. It's great to hear how well your espresso machine works. Your comments on the grounds are well received and we'll try to improve on this. Thanks for the review. -Sylvia@Cafe

I do absolutely love this machine. The only issue that I have with it is that the lettering on the buttons has already rubbed off. So if you’re not sure what the buttons mean, you won’t be able to tell. We used at Daly and love it.
Hello - We're glad to here that you love your machine! Thanks for the feedback about the buttons, that we'll be sure to share with our product design team. Best wishes. -Don@Café

Coffee is great. But grinder clogs up. I have to use my shop vac to clean it, then use the pipe brush to clear it out.
Not good.
Hello - Thanks for bringing this to our attention. Your semi-automatic espresso machine grinds coffee beans before it brews your coffee, so it's important to take steps to keep the grinder from getting clogged. We recommend cleaning the grinder at least once a week, but many users find brushing out the grinder every time helps it work better. Also, the grind size is adjustable. A finer grind means there is more exposed surface area of the grounds, resulting in faster extraction. If you're finding that the grinder is getting clogged often, even if you clean it regularly, try adjusting the grind to a more coarse setting. We recommend starting with a setting between 7 and 9. Please reach out to us if you need additional assistance. Take care. -Don@Café

I have really enjoyed this espresso machine. It makes the smoothest shots. Which has become a problem. Starbuck and dutch bros taste watery and lack in flavor compared to the Café’s coffee. 10/10
Hi - We are delighted to hear how pleased you are with your gorgeous Café Espresso Machine. It makes us so happy to hear you say "perfect shots every time"! We are confident you will continue to enjoy espresso at home any time you like. Wishing you the best! Vikki@Café

Haven’t been back to a coffee shop since we purchased our machine. Its beyond easy to use and has all of the features I was looking for. The only other thing I would have liked would be a seperate hopper for decaf beans with the ability to switch them from time to time.
Hello- Thanks so much for your purchase! We are so pleased that this has saved you time and money! We are so happy you are enjoying all the great features and we truly appreciate your feedback and will be certain to share this with our product teams. Thank you! Joyce@Cafe

Horrible machine. Broke down twice. First time the grinder kept clogging and it leaked water all over the counter. Second time Grinder stopped working completely. Wifi was worthless. Whomever designed that part should be fired. There are plenty of other better machines than this one. Youve been warned.

Quality quality quality. From the bean hopper to the espresso coming out to the froth. Taste just like my favorite hole in wall espresso spots in the city. Highly recommended!

Really great upgrade from a smaller espresso machine. The big thing my wife and I like is the coffee grinder included in it. However, we’ve had it for just under a year and now it’s leaking water.

Bought this item because we have all the cafe appliances. It is a bit pricey, but I am so happy with this purchase. Its absolutely stunning, and the white is so pretty. It is also the easiest expresso machine i have ever owned. I would highly recommend this product.

This is my first espresso machine. It's pretty straight forward and easy to use. the Wi-Fi feature is a plus. the design is also pretty sleek. the color matches my countertop. i definitely save money from going to Starbucks or my local coffee shops.

Love it! Super easy to use and made the kitchen look super clean.

Nice machine and works well but it would be nice if the wifi settings would give a little bit more range for settings for hotter water and less grind time. Other than that it works good and frother heats up fast.
