What Customers Are Saying
Customers praise the sleek, elegant design and impressive brewing performance, with many highlighting customizable brew strength, water temperature, and smartphone app control as standout features.

Would RecommendI love this coffee maker. It makes a great pot of coffee. It’s also very elegant looking in my kitchen. However, as others have complained already the “copper” coating has chipped with only delicate hand washing and the handle is now flopping around with no way to tighten it. I have to put my hands around the pot to pour coffee. At this price range, neither one of these things should be happening and the thermos quality should be a lot better. I’d like to replace it but can’t seem to find any so...

great design poor quality
I have the Cafe Specialty coffee maker C7CDAAS2PS3 in stainless and copper and only use it a couple of times a month or on weekends and the handle on the carafe broke off. Beautiful product but doesnt seem to be very sturdy especially if Im not using the appliance daily.

Nice machine but coffee pot outer paint chips off
We love this coffee machine and its smart functions. The only issue is that after a while, the paint on the handle starts peeling off. The machine is beautiful and we love to display it in the kitchen but with the paint peeling off, its not attractive to display any longer.

Delicious voffee
Very happy with this coffee pot. We use it in the gold star setting and the strength and temperature are perfect. Best coffee we have ever had at home. Much better than a machine of similar cost that we had been using.

Beautiful and simple coffee brewer
Gorgeous countertop appliance with a simple and easy to use app that makes programming brews and descaling a snap. The app also communicates with and controls my other kitchen appliances so it’s a perfect solution.

Quality finished coffee.
Love the coffee and the plethora of settings. It impressively does a first drip to create and capture the bloom of the coffee grounds before proceeding with the rest of the brew cycle. Biggest complaint? This sucker is so stylish, but within months, the copper finish on the carafe handle began to peel/chip away. We are not putting it in the dishwasher or using harsh chemicals. The handle and the base of the carafe now look 10 years older than the machine. I cannot seem to find a replacement...

Wondering
Love hate situation. Can't figure out how to actually clean the reservoir.... daily open to allow condensation to dissipate. Often using less than 10 cup freshly ground beans and having introduced filters, the grounds container leaves water and splatters nicely! ! all over inside. I clean daily and we have changed filters etc. Wondering why?

Super disappointing
Would Not RecommendI really wanted to like this machine. It looks great and I’ve always found GE to make good products. But this coffee maker is the worst. Water started collecting inside the walls of the insulated carafe and the coating chipped off easily. I had to call three times to get it replaced. I only wash the permanent filter by hand and yet the mesh pulled out from the frame and I’ve had to buy a new one. It’s a weird shape, so you can’t get it anywhere else. And despite following exact directions for de...

Delicious coffee, fast, hot, perfect every time!
Would RecommendTried a variety of coffee maker, even a few SCA one that felt honestly over priced. They one showed up damaged and the other just felt cheap. After a bit of more research and seeing this was SCA as well we went for it. Coffee is perfect temp and brewed quick. I couldn’t believe how great the coffee taste either. It’s better than a coffee shop, right at home. Thankful for the find and highly recommended.

Broken and no way to repair
The machine no longer works after using for 6 months and then not using it. This appears to be a common problem with no solution and no support by GE.

Grounds everywhere!
Nice features and looks nice. However, the coffee grounds always overflow the properly placed and correct-sized coffee filter, making a mess everywhere and getting into our brewed coffee. The coffee does not taste good.

Good coffee - but starting to look bad
I’ve had this coffeemaker for just under a year and I love it. The only issue I am experiencing is the copper laminate is peeling off the handle and the matte black is peeling off the bottom of the carafe.

Makes very good coffee but the carafe is cheap
Purchased the Café Coffee maker several months ago so I pretty much ran through all of the features. It make a very good coffee and I enjoy the Wi-Fi connectivity and also the look of the machine. the one BIG complaint I have it the quality of the carafe. The carafe is light weight and feels cheap when you pick it up. For the price of this coffee maker I thought I would be receiving a NETI quality carafe that would keep the coffee hot for several hours. Instead the carafe that comes with the co...
