    I decided to purchase this inspite of the price because I good a good deal on it @ BESTBUY. However, on receiving this I found that they had shipped me an unit that was clearly faulty. I followed all the instructions (which are quite sketchy to say the least) to the letter - washed the carafe, the filter, brew basket, etc. I filled the tank with water to the max level and then pressed the "brew" button to brew 2 cups of coffee. The unit wanted me to add more H2O!! But I had already filled the tank to its maximum capacity! So I tried again and the same result. Then the machine started to display an error code ("Err3") for which the manufacturer has no trouble-shooting guide. The unit may look great but it is no good if it doesn't work. I posted a question on their website which no one has bothered to answer as of yet. So I have decided to return the unit back to BESTBUY and order something from a different brand that works.

      Hi VIVEK, thanks so much for your review. We're sorry to hear about the issues that you've had with your coffeemaker, we can understand how that would be frustrating. We found the following information about error codes when starting a brew and during a brew, they are as follows: 1. "Err" displayed when starting a brew: Verify that the carafe is centered in middle of the carafe pocket. Remove the carafe and put it back in place to re-center. Make sure you are using the carafe that came with the product to activate brewing. 2. "Err" displayed during a brew: If the carafe is removed during the cycle, the error message will display and the cycle will stop. After two minutes, the message will stop being displayed and the brew cycle will end. To fix the issue, replace the carafe within the two minutes. - We're sorry to hear that you ended up having to return your unit, we hope that we can work hard in the future to earn your trust back. If you have questions or concerns, feel free to reach out to us any time. Stay safe. -Michael@Cafe cafe_appliances

    This coffee maker is simply a nightmare, if you like hot coffee don't buy it. I bought it and after a month I returned it, the coffee stays hot for an hour, after that you have to make another one. I have a NINJA coffee maker that keeps my coffee hot for 4 hours, you can program it and even after 2 hours it remains hot unlike this one. The design of this coffee maker is incredible, it matches any kitchen, but it is not worth the price. Don't waste money on this brand.

    Really liked this coffee maker until I tried to descale it. It got stuck in the descale cycle and never transitioned back to the normal brewing cycle. Never could find out how to manually reset. Very disappointing for such an otherwise nice coffee maker.

      We're sorry to hear about the difficulty you're having with your coffeemaker and recommend unplugging the unit for 2-3 minutes if you have not already done so. If the issue persists once power is restored, we encourage you to send us (GE Appliances) a private message on one of our social channels (Facebook, Instagram) with your contact information, model and serial numbers and a copy of your review so we can research your situation. cafe_appliances

    I'll start with the obvious - this coffeemaker is gorgeous. Beyond that, it's nothing special. I have tried everything, and like other reviewers, even the bold setting brews a very weak cup of coffee. I tried adding 50% (!!) more grounds, I tried adding an extra filter to slow the brewing down...nothing worked. There is no warming plate, so the coffee, even at the highest temp setting, does not stay warm very long. If you enjoy a good strong cup of coffee, this is not going to be for you. I'm returning after trying for days to get a good cup of coffee.

    I love this coffee maker, but it came with a couple caveats. Our first one had to be returned due to an obvious paint blemish. Seems petty, but this isn't a $25 dollar machine. The second one looked and worked awesome, until this week. 4.5 months later, it quit dispensing the water to make coffee. Everything seems fine, it comes on, but no water comes out. I'm glad I opted for the extra warranty plan on this one, but still. Is the third one going to last? I think this is a GE brand, so not sure what the deal is. We'll see how this one goes. Disappointed, but I'm too in love with the style to give up yet.

    This coffee pot is beautiful but it does not make very hot coffee. So disappointed in how it doesn't heat up and stay hot. It does make coffee quickly and quietly.

      Hello there - While we're certainly glad to hear that your coffee maker makes coffee quickly and quietly, we do apologize that it isn't heating up properly and making hot coffee. This would be discouraging and we understand your discontentment. To remedy this, check that the software is up-to-date through the SmartHQ™ app. If the issue persists, then try resetting the coffee maker by unplugging the coffee maker briefly and plug it back in. Connect with us if you have any questions or problems moving forward - we're always happy to help out. Best, Kelsey@Café cafe_appliances

    The Café Smart Drip 10-Cup Coffee Maker is mostly made of plastic, with the exception of the insulated coffee pot. Because it's primarily plastic, the coffee maker lacks a heating plate, which is a major drawback. The insulated coffee pot, unfortunately, feels incredibly cheap and doesn't keep the coffee hot, even when set to the highest temperature. The overall construction of the coffee maker feels flimsy, and it doesn't justify the high price. Additionally, the bottom of the pot tends to leak consistently. Overall, I would not recommend this product—it's simply not worth the money.

      This coffee maker has a Drip Stop Lever (check valve) in the bottom of Brew Basket Insert that is designed to close when the carafe is removed. If there is leaking/dripping when removing the carafe, we recommend removing the brew basket and cleaning with soap and water. Chances are there is a small debris (coffee ground or lint from the paper filter) that is keeping the valve from closing completely causing the dripping. If the issue persist, we recommend you take advantage of the one year limited warranty by contacting Café Support at: 1-800-432-2737. cafe_appliances

    I bought this coffee maker for my husband’s birthday. He’s been using a pour over system for years now but wanted something that takes less time during the weekdays. I don’t know how it does it but it makes a superb cup of coffee! Definitely worth the money.

    A bit difficult to program. Note that the "copper" handle is not really a copper handle. It is matched to the carafe with plastic. Very fragile.
