Ratings & Reviews for Cafe 10 -Cup Programmable Residential Drip coffee maker with Automatic Shut-Off ( Stainless Steel )

Easy to use and great coffee

Very happy with this coffee maker. It's easy to use. The grinder makes for a fresh cup every morning. When guests come, switching to making a full carafe, while still having the "Grind' feature, is quick and easy. Coffee comes out delicious and quick every morning. (My only issue, the time setting never stays at the correct time, no matter how many times I set the clock).

Good coffee, to many issues

I am on my 3rd machine in a yr. Issues with the grinder, pot and basket closure.

Great Coffee. For a short time. Then it breaks.

Makes fantastic coffee, until it doesn't because it starts leaking in less than 14 months, and then there is no option for repair. They will happily sell you another one. Every year, I guess. Disappointing that such an expensive product boasts such terrible build quality. It made really good coffee. Until it didn't.

Good coffee too many problems

The grinder broke after third use..does make great coffee

Disappointed

Great looking coffee maker, but does not keep coffee hot. There is no heating unit for the carafe. It is thermal but just doesn’t really keep the coffee temp I prefer. Now that my 1 yr warranty has just expired, the grinder doesn’t seem to be calibrating the correct amount of beans per what machine is set for cup wise.

Could have been...

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've had this for a couple years and I'm just at wits end with it. The grinder gave me issues several times and now we've moved onto it randomly leaking all over my counter and floor. I've descaled it, reinstalled the reservoir bottom several times and I'm just done with it. Impossible to keep it clean as well. I spent so much on this and I'm surprised it hasn't performed better.

Beautiful Carafe, but...

I purchased the white matte Thermal Carafe. It's a beautiful coffee maker and you will taste the quality of the coffee when brewed. I like that there is three types of brew strengths and you can change the grind size. However, the reason for my three star on this item review is due to a defect on the thermal carafe itself. There seems to be a leak internally where liquid gets inside the internal thermal wall where the lip of the pour and thermal pitcher meet. When I washed it I noticed there was...

HARD TO CLEAN

THE COFFEE IS GREAT, BUT CLEANING THE GRIND BASKET AFTER MAKING A POT IS A PAIN. IT GRINDS TOO MANY BEANS WHICH FILL UP ALONG THE FILTER AND INTO THE FILTER HOLDER THAT DOESN'T DETACH. POOR DESIGN FOR CLEANING.

Best coffee maker

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have tried several other “high-end” coffee makers but this clearly the best! Artistic design, integrated been grinding, touch screen brewing controls make it easy to use, and brew great coffee.

Love this coffee maker!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So far I am loving this coffee maker! I am a bit of a coffee snob. This was easy to set up, and easy to use. I love the strength options. Cleaning and maintaining is quick and easy! This is a huge improvement over my last bean grinding coffee maker.

Almost great

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this...but the reservoir leaks. It's not how I'm seating it in the base...it drips slowly even when I am filling it. If I leave water in the reservoir after brewing, it slowly leaks out...over the LCD screen, which apart film being annoying to clean up, can't be good for the electronics. I want to persevere because otherwise it's great. But....sigh

Wow!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I just wish I bought this 30 years ago instead of just a few days ago. 👍

Minor irritant

I utilize 1:15 ratio of water to beans. The machine always asks me to add water. A minor irritation but I do not know how to accept my judgement.

Great coffee!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My wife and I bought this to replace our DeLonghi after it stopped working. We wanted a coffee machine that would grind or use pre-ground coffee. We also wanted the ability to make different size cups. This does it all, and it makes a great cup of coffee. Looks great on the counter too. Glad we bought it.

Solid

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This machine makes a good cup of coffee, which is most important at the end of the day. And it's GORGEOUS on the countertop (albeit large). I also did not experience the leaking issue that others have experienced (I was careful not to over-tighten after inserting the filter and only add water from the top). I take 2 points off for: (1) the grounds get all over the place--under the basket, on the warming unit, on the countertop--after just one b...

Stopped working less than one year

I have had this coffee maker for less than one year. The grinder completely stopped working. I’ve disassembled it twice and cleaned it every which way I can. Still will not work. I do not recommend this to anyone. You will be wasting your money.

Great taste, modern look, must maintain!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We love this coffee maker... The taste we get from freshly ground coffee is remarkably better than pre-ground coffee and now we can't go back! Also, this is truly the only nice looking modern coffee maker. It always draws attention of our house guest and they comment on how cool looking it is. The only downside is that to really keep this machine running well, you need to stick with maintaining it. Make sure to replace the water filter regula...

Was very excited at first but keeps breaking.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Our machine has broken twice now. First time the water wouldn’t pull from the reservoir at all, so I went through probably a three week process to get it replaced. Now it’s broken again about 6 months after getting my first one totally replaced. This time no matter what cup size setting you have, it only grinds like 4 tbsp of grounds.

It has everything

Excellent coffee taste and easy to use. Set on Gold and grind 3. Easy setup and directions. Attractive. Love the built in grinder

Love it!

Love my Cafe Grind and Brew coffee maker! Two suggestions for improvement: 1) Why is there a black power cord on a white coffeemaker and on (what most of us have) a white counter? That looks terrible! 2). How about an option for slide verses grip feet? I have to place the coffeemaker on a placemat in order to slide it out from under the cabinet in order to add water and coffee beans.
