Customer Ratings & Reviews

This is a great 10 cup coffee maker that is fast, quiet, and really nice looking. Set up was extremely easy for this maker. Take it out of the box, wash it out, pug it in, set time, start making coffee. Simple! The build of this is very nice. It is all stainless steel with some plastic parts. Nothing feels cheap on this coffee maker. There is a nice LCD screen to display the time, though, it does turn off after a couple minutes. I do wish this would stay on at all times. It is not too bright as to blind you, but it is definitely easily readable. The carafe is thermal and keeps the coffee hot cup after cup. I do like that the carafe topper is able to lock as well. The filter cone is easy to remove and clean. One thing that I do really like is that the top lid when opened after brewing will drip any condensation back down into the water container. The one complaint I have is that the carafe has a fairly steep ledge on the inside lip so it does not pour the last bit of coffee out easily and I have to remove the lock lid to get the last half a cup or so out. If this design could be improved, it would be a full 5 star coffee maker for me. It is a bit on the large side, so make sure that you check that it will fit in your space. Brewing the coffee is extremely quiet and I had to actually check that it did, in fact, brew. This is very nice in conjunction with the delayed brew feature. You can set the time to start brewing so that you wake up to a hot cup of coffee. No more waking up to the sound of a loud coffee maker! If you would like your coffee a little bolder and hotter, then simply press the BOLD button. Overall, I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a great looking well performing coffee maker. It does run a little higher in price point, but for a great quality GE appliance, I feel it is justified.

My grandmother drinks several cups of coffee every day and for a long time, she would brew full pots of coffee just for herself. A few years back, we switched to using a single-serve coffee maker because it seemed to work best for our family’s needs at the time. In the past year, my fiancé has been working from home and she is also a coffee drinker. So, it makes more sense now to move back to a full-size coffee pot/maker. Plus, it’s nice to have a full-size coffee pot for special occasions when all of us would like a cup of coffee. The GE Coffee Maker caught my eye because it was all stainless steel. We’ve been trying to move all our appliances over to stainless steel finishes and this coffee maker fits right in. The set-up of the coffee maker was very easy. The main assembly was one piece and it comes with a ‘permanent’ filter. Since we’ve been using single-serve coffee makers, we’ve gotten used to not having to purchase paper filters and we rather enjoy it. So, seeing this reusable filter being included with this machine was refreshing. Cleaning it out is easy and it’s much better for the environment. The main assembly of the coffee maker is quite large. We placed it on an open countertop so the height of it isn't an issue for our house, but I could see how it might be detrimental to some people. Make sure you measure before you make plans for where to place it. When we select new kitchen appliances we always look for ease of use. My grandmother embraces new things, but sometimes she has a hard time learning how to use them. So, even though some coffee makers come with super-advanced technologies or features included, that's not always what’s best for every household. GE made things simple with the operation of this coffee maker. You fill the reservoir with water, fill the basket with coffee grounds, and press the brew button. She had no trouble learning this new appliance and that meant it solidified its place in our home. While I enjoy this new addition to our home, I did have a few issues with it. First, the coffee pot doesn’t allow for an even flow of liquid. The carafe has a large lip towards the top of the kettle that prevents all the water or coffee from pouring out of the container. This is a problem for getting all the coffee out of the pot and when filling the water reservoir. I ended up having to swirl the remaining liquid around and then even shaking the pot so that every drop would eventually fall out of the carafe. In addition to the carafe being an odd shape for even pouring, the water reservoir has a narrow opening so it's really hard to get water into it without spilling some. I also noticed that when I thought I had a full pot of water that I was pouring into the coffee maker, the level only said 8 cups instead of the maximum 10 cups. Despite the small issues I found with the coffee maker, it has some very big bonuses, too. I already mentioned the reusable filter, but I didn't mention the taste of the coffee it produces. The coffee maker has a bold option for brewing, but it produces a stronger brew without having to select that option. The coffee maker is exceptionally quiet and it’s hard to know when it’s done brewing unless you’re in the same room with it. I think the best bonus feature of this coffee maker is the fact that the carafe is thermal. It will keep coffee warm for hours. I poured a cup of coffee 2 hours after it had been made originally and the liquid was still warm. Even though there are some areas for improvement, I would recommend this to others on the basis that it keeps coffee warm long after it’s been made and because the filter is reusable. The coffee maker also makes great coffee.

Out of the box it is a snazzy looking coffee maker and so far this is my most favorite one I have had. It may be low on features, but the Thermal Carafe is such a game changer for my coffee consumption. Pros -Low ‘plastic smell’ when unboxing, which was nice. Got a bit of a plastic flavor in the first batch even though I washed everything, so I’d recommend doing just a water brew cycle at least once before brewing coffee. -Thermal Carafe is great! I’m the only coffee drinker in the house and at that I don’t drink a lot. Making 6 cups will take about 2 hours to drink normally. Which by the time I get to that last pour it's already burned. The thermal carafe definitely takes care of that problem. I made an 8-cup for the first pot and I’ve been drinking it off and on for about 3 hours and kept the same flavor profile throughout and stayed hot in the thermal carafe. Brewed an 8-cup pot before Church and just filled up a 12-oz thermal cup. Came back 3 hours later and the remaining coffee in the pot was still hot enough to enjoy! And That is the sole reason I wanted this maker. -Very quiet when brewing. -Don’t have to unscrew the lid to pour like a thermos and as already stated holds the temp really well. Cons -Water Reservoir is pretty tight and technical to fill. Definitely want to be awake for that one, with good lighting. -Clock does not stay on, tapping the hour or minute button turns the LCD back on, but that is kind of weird for it not to stay on all the time. -LCD Screen keeps shutting off. Takes about 2 minutes and it shuts off. Observations -Carafe pouring is pretty slow and you definitely have to tilt it more than a traditional pot when pouring. Just something you will have to get used too, it doesn’t rush out, so that is good. -Height of the maker is pretty tall, so check your counter to bottom cabinet height. -Carafe seating on the warming plate I notice I keep double checking it is sitting where it is supposed to. Will take a bit to get used to its positioning. -Instructions for the thermal and glass carafe version are different. The thermal states that you are NEVER to leave the carafe on the warming plate, but doesn’t give any context. So does that mean don’t let it sit for extended periods of time on the warming plate? No context is given. -When is the brewing done? No indicator when it is done brewing. It's nice it is a quiet brewer, but there is nothing to notify you when it's done, outside of not hearing the brewing sound, but it is very quiet. -Cone mesh filter. I prefer paper filters just because they are easier to clean and I have a septic system and don’t like putting the grains down the drain. -Coffee temp seems a bit cooler than what I am used too. Bold setting doesn’t seem to make it bolder, but did seem to add just a bit more heat to the finished brew.

About a year ago, my wife began drinking coffee daily. She found a coffee maker that has all of the features she likes, but she doesn’t like that it doesn’t match our stainless steel appliances. Our current machine is stainless steel on the front, but black plastic on the sides and top - making it look (and feel) rather cheap. We were excited to try out this beautiful GE model, but we very quickly learned that this coffee maker is all looks. The water reservoir cannot be removed for cleaning and the opening is small and difficult to pour water into. The screen is easy to read, but it quickly times out - making the clock virtually useless. The carafe is insulated and is dishwasher safe, but it has a large lip which makes it nearly impossible to pour all of the coffee out of. The coffee actually pours from the center of the Carafe’s lid - through a plastic lid that is also difficult to clean. The brewing process is quiet, but there is no sound or visual indication that the coffee is done brewing. There is no way to pause the brewing process. The 15 inch height is too tall for the lid to be opened while resting under a cupboard. And, unlike our cheaper coffee maker, this version does not have a function to show how long it has been since the coffee has been brewed. The list of annoyances is simply too long to make this coffee pot worth while. The only reason to choose this coffee maker is for the superior look of the stainless steel. The carafe doesn’t keep coffee hot for as long as expected, it is difficult to clean, and it is therefore overpriced for the poor design. My wife refuses to use it and has returned to our older and cheaper machine. Instead of using an insulated carafe to keep her coffee warm, my wife now uses an insulated mug that works much better. Unfortunately this machine gets a pass until GE can improve the design / function.

I don't know if you have ever used a thermal coffee pot before. I'm going to pretend like I know you haven't and I'm going to tell you this simple truth. Once you get a thermal coffee pot, you will never have the desire for a glass pot again. The GE Classic Drip Coffee Maker is a great entry level thermal pot for your home, office or dorm room. Not only is it a gorgeous looking appliance, but it keeps your coffee hot for hours. I mean HOURS. It comes with its very own forever filter. So the need to buy coffee filters are out the window. This pot brews up 10 cups of coffee quickly for those days that you just don't feel like setting the auto brew feature( Yes. That is an option.) The clean layout and nonintrusive screen allows for the atmosphere around the room to stay undisturbed when it's not in use , as the screen times out and goes to sleep to reduce that unseemly glue. The only drawback is the fact that it only brews 10 cups of coffee. And that pretty much equates to a couple mugs. In an office setting or a heavy traffic area, this will mean that you'll be brewing multiple pots of coffee in a day. But if it's just you and you like to sip a cup throughout the day, this is the pot for you. Because this baby will keep the heat. That being said, this thing will run you $119.99 USD. But again, this is GE we're talking about. And they definitely know their way around aa appliance. I definitely recommend this coffee maker to anyone who loves coffee all day.

This GE 10 cups coffee maker provides a very classy design with an elegant looking. The quality is outstanding, the stainless body is nice and matches my other kitchen appliances. The display is bright and numbers are readable and easy to program. Cord storage on the back is a good feature. The carafe is breakable and insulated/ thermal which is made to keep coffee warm for a longer time without a machine is needed to stay on. However, this coffeemaker has numerous issues; From my experience, the thermal carafe does not keep the coffee warm for more than an hour, also the water filling is an issue, the reservoir is poorly designed where it is hard to pour the water into it, and leads to mess as well as leaving about one cup of water inside the pot and can't be poured completely or emptied. Moreover, due to the pot lid design, pouring coffee out of it leaves an amount of coffee inside even with my attempt to tilt it down. The display turns off automatically after 2-3 minutes which is kind of odd.

Love the look, sleek design, looks great on the counter, and easy to use.

I love the look and build quality of this coffee maker, but not the instructions or controls. Pros - Great build quality and finish. Stainless-steel looks great. - Stainless-steel carafe keeps coffee warm and is durable - Cord storage - Brews quickly and quietly - Reusable mesh filter Things to Consider - The stainless-steel carafe version depends on the carafe to keep the coffee warm and it does not stay hot enough for me over time - the stainless steel carafe version does not have a keep warm feature like the glass version - this is evident in the instructions, but not made clear unless you note the differences between the two versions. - The recommended amount of coffee grounds in the instructions is 2 tablespoons per cup, this is twice as much as my previous coffee make and was way too strong for my taste. My favorite combination was 1 tablespoon per cup with BOLD selected. - The instructions are lengthy and hard to read. The booklet includes instructions for both the glass carafe version and stainless so make sure you are following the correct ones. - There is no brewing complete indicator, which means you have to check before grabbing a cup. There is a valve that stops the flow of coffee when the carafe is removed, but it is not mentioned in the instructions, so I am not sure if you can remove it while brewing even though it appears possible. - You get used to the controls, but they are not always intuitive (reminded me of setting an old VCR). The LCD shuts off even if you set a time, so you can't actually see the clock or auto brew setting unless you press a button. This also leads to confusion as my older aunt could not figure out why sometimes she had to press BREW/CANCEL twice to start the coffee and sometimes it started on the first press (the first button you press "wakes" the coffee maker and then the buttons work normally after the LCD is on). - The stainless steel carafe is not as smooth and harder to clean on the inside compared to a glass one. - The included coffee filter works well, but takes a little extra time to clean compared to a disposable paper filter (which you might be able to find, but is more of a challenge due to the cone shape). Despite its short comings I would still recommend this coffee maker, because of the build quality and appearance. I might consider the glass version, which likely has the same great build quality with the keep warm feature - unless you normally take the carafe on the go.

I almost rated this 5 stars. We will get to that later. Coffee maker is great. Sleek modern stainless look that matches my oven. Comes with reusable filter. Easy to program. Easy to clean with stainless. The carafe kept coffee warm for hours. I brewed it at 5:45 am and it was still hot past 7 am. Bold option allows for darker brew. I am not a coffee snot so coffee is coffee to me. The only thing I could ding this on is it is hard to fill by using the carafe. You need to use something else to fill the reservoir. Great job GE. I would recommend this product.

This is a really really good coffee maker. Not only is it simple to set up and operate, it looks great on the counter. The things I like most though is the thermal carafe. Keeps coffee hot a lot longer than the normal carafe and can be set on the dining room table. The 2 things I didn't like, was this was only a 10 cup but was the same size as my old 14 cup coffee maker. Might be not a big deal to most. Also for some weird reason, the clock light turns off after awhile. Maybe I'm just use to having the clock on in my old coffee maker. One feature this has that, surprisingly, many coffee maker doesn't have, is an option to make a "bold" pot of coffee. I really appreciate this feature. I inserted some photos so you can see how good looking this coffee maker is compared to the standard one. Definitely worth a purchase

GE clearly made this for us coffee enthusiasts who simply enjoy a cup of coffee! In my role at work I work from home and I also work in the office. So having multiple cups of coffeee brewed has been so helpful! Don’t get me wrong I’ve got an awesome espresso machine but there are days I just need a pot of coffee available while I navigate my day. My favorite two features are the brushed steel look and the built in filter. Bravo for not making me have to purchase filters. I’ve had mesh filters like this in other makers and it is so convenient to brew the coffee and spread the used up grounds in my plants that thrive on grounds. I attached a picture of the lid because the interior plastic parts seem like they’ll break easy. Which was a downside for me. Ultimately think of this coffee pot as a huge thermal cup. It’s made for brewing coffee but I made summer teas would be great as well! Overall a great coffee maker with all the basic simplicities I need.

The GE Drip coffee maker is a fantastic, understated machine. Right out of the box, with a little cleaning, it was easy and nice to use. The included filter is a nice touch to the machine. It was pretty easy to clean the entire machine, with the coffee pot being a small exception. You can remove the filter, the drip, and just wipe down the rest of the machine and it is ready for the next use. On to the coffee pot itself. The locking lid is a nice touch with the design of the pot. However, this is part of it's downfall. Inside the pot there is a lip that doesn't allow all the coffee to be poured out unless you remove the locking lid and tip the pot basically over for it to drain. This leaves coffee and water when it is being cleaned inside the pot. Along with this, the back reservoir has a small area to fill it. I found myself needing to use another cup to fill it rather than the coffee pot itself. Besides these, the machine is a great coffee maker power house with it's autobrew and bold options.

Nice, easy to use 10 cup coffee maker. Only drawback some may find is the rim when pouring coffee. Its design makes it somewhat difficult to empty the pot. However, that is off set by the metal carafe...no broken glass. It holds temperature well. Easy to clean. Has permanent filter.

Beautiful and makes good coffee but well the carafe is gorgeous it doesn’t really keep the coffee hot and you never know how much is inside because there’s no gauge on it and it’s very hard to wash out because of the lip the water stays right in there.. Additionally there’s only a tiny space so it’s kind of hard to fill. Bottom line is it’s not real easy to use but it is beautiful and it makes delicious coffee with the bold button. Mine just suddenly stopped working though after about two weeks so I don’t know if that was just a glitch

This coffee maker makes good coffee! With that said, I must say that the carafe is extremely heavy… Although it does keep coffee hot all day long. My biggest complaint is that where a heating unit would be at the base of the carafe… But in this model doesn’t get hot, has rusted. I don’t understand why as it is not wet, doesn’t get wet, and there’s no reason for it to rust. It was quite a bit of money and I don’t feel that for what I paid, it was worth it.

Works well and keeps the coffee hot for a long time, but difficult to fill and empty. There's a lip on the coffee pot that makes it so the coffee is difficult to fully get out and for you to fully clean it and get soapy water out. The top of the machine is difficult to pour into too, mostly because of that weird lip on the pot. Also, it has only been a few months and the bottom of the pot drips as I pour it now.

Quiet, fast, works good. Only complaint, the design of the lid hinge makes refilling the water tank a little difficult, and prone to splash. Uses Cone #4 filters.

Sturdy, easy to use, easy to set up. The reusable coffee filter is a great touch. Coffee brews as expected and the thermal carafe keeps it hot for quite a while (I think the 2 hour rating is conservative.) Ergonomics: Water fill placement is not convenient, it is in the back meaning the top lid has to open fully; its height puts the fill/coffee lid right at cabinet height, so the lid won't open when under a cabinet, it has to be moved out to fill; when placed where it has room to open (a 90 degree right turn), the water level guide faces the backsplash, so it is not visible when filling.

Looks really Neat .Especially the stainless steel one.

This coffee maker's sleek design looks very attractive on our kitchen countertop. It is simple to operate - there are a total of five buttons, and only 3 that would be typically used: brew, auto brew and bold. The simplicity is just what we wanted. The quality is excellent - the unit is made from heavier gauge materials than most. There is nothing flimsy about it. The carafe keeps coffee hot for roughly two hours, time enough in our household.
