We love this machine
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This machine is great. Once we found the grind time on the app, it became even more perfect. The flavor of fresh ground coffee can not be beat. There are so many options that the perfect cup is possible. We also love the delay brew so we can wake up to the aroma of our freshly ground and brewed perfect cup. The carafe keeps the coffee warm for the better part of 2 hours, more if it is full. The water reservoir is so easy to clean and fill. This matches all of our other Cafe appliances and is a great addition to our kitchen.

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.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Makes great coffee. I had been using Keruigs for years and had brewed coffee in a while. This is easy and convenient.

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.

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.

Not going back to pods!
I have been using this GE Cafe grind and brew coffee maker for over one month now. It’s got a designer appearance (bought the SS). I wanted to get away from using a coffee maker that uses pods due to environmental reasons and I wanted better tasting coffee. This coffee maker accomplishes both. It works as advertised, is easy to use and clean. Coffee stays hot in the carafe for a couple hours (note: I preheat the pot using hot water from my instant hot). I haven’t used the single brew but once. Next time I do a single I will try it on the bold setting as I didn’t think the gold setting was strong enough for that. I do use the gold setting for a pot and it tastes great. Overall, no complaints whatsoever 😘

Fabulous
Love the look and function of the Grind and Brew .... the included brush remedies any issue ... as it does get clogged at times when grinding .... Wish I could create a stronger coffee .... but got past that by adding a scoop of pre ground beans in the basket previous to brewing ....

Good design
Love the wifi feature. wake up and press brew. Makes a good cup of coffee. I put in my 24 oz and its all done automatically. A little cleaning but nothing crazy. I hoped someone would make a pour-over type machine like this.

5 year owner and still loving our coffee
My husband and I were using the carafe for making our coffee but recently moved to brewing individual cups. We are saving coffee and it always tastes so much better freshly brewed! If I would make one suggestion is would be for the carafe pour spout to be modified.

Great Replacement for our Cuisinart Grind and Brew
After 20+ years of being a loyal Cuisinart Grind and Brew customer, I replaced our Cuisinart with Cafe's Grind and Brew machine. We are in love. The machine looks gorgeous on our counter (we bought the white model), and the functionality is top-notch. I love that we can adjust the brewing temp--a feature not offered through Cuisinart. The app is easy to use, and I love that I can make a single travel cup.

Positive Review plus Comments
This is a review and my comments about Cafe Grind and Brew automatic coffee maker with the single serve option and thermal carafe.
My overall assessment is that this is a terrific product. You can make a great cup of coffee with this product. There are a few items I think you should be aware of prior to purchasing.
The device is large. The dimensions on the website are accurate, but I did not comprehend how big it is until I unboxed it and placed it on my counter. It takes up a lot of counter space.
You can make a perfect or near-perfect cup of coffee with the device. You may need to adjust the various settings to accomplish this. There are a lot of potential settings to adjust. Don’t be surprised if it takes you a while to find your perfect settings for the beans you are using.
Some of the settings are only accessible through the app.
It does not produce crema.
You need to clean out the brew basket after each time you use it. This should not be surprising, but I didn’t fully understand this prior to purchasing. It is not difficult to clean out the basket, but it can be a pain.
It is likely there will be a few drops of coffee either spilled or splashed between making coffee and cleaning the brew basket. You should have a paper towel handy.
I think the model I obtained may be one level behind the latest. I base this on some numbers on the product. I don't think they have added any new features, but there is one thing that you should be aware of. The water filter part number for the device I have is perpetually out of stock. They don't make it easy to find the replacement part number. This is the replacement part number from their website: C7CGFLTR. I hope that is correct.
I recommend turning on the sound through the app. This gives you a beep when the process is complete. That way you do not have to be looking at the timer that is counting down on the device. It also beeps each time you touch a setting on the panel.
The manufacturer's definition of a cup is 6 ounces. The manufacturer claims you can make 10 cups. Since most people use 8 ounce cups, this may be misleading.
The manufacturer's definition of a cup size is based on the amount of water used in making the cup of coffee. A small amount of water is absorbed by the ground coffee beans. I perceive you actually get 3 to 5 per cent less drinkable coffee.
The claim is that the thermal carafe will hold your coffee warm for up to two hours. This is probably true if you fill the thermal carafe with 10 cups of coffee. The actual time it keeps a single cup of coffee warm at what I consider an acceptable temperature is about one half hour. It keeps coffee acceptably warm for a longer period if you have more coffee in the carafe.
The thermal carafe is smaller than the typical carafe size from a standard Mr. Coffee type coffee maker. You can’t use the standard sized carafe since it will not fit in the provided space.
A slight upward pressure makes the brew basket closing process much easier.
The documentation recommends cleaning the burr grinder and the sprinkler head, but it doesn’t tell you how often.
I had a situation where it made a lousy cup of coffee when there were only a few beans left in the hopper. The device is supposed to warn you when it needs more beans. I might have missed it. To avoid this, I always fill the water tank to about two inches above the 10 cup line and I always fill the bean hopper at the same time. I refill both when the water tank fill approaches 2 cups.
It seems to consume more coffee beans than I expected.

I have gone through many coffee makers, but this café coffee maker is by far the best I’ve ever had. It makes a perfect pot of coffee. The effortless use of this machine is very impressive. Just make your settings. They remain for every pot coffee that you make, and you can do it remotely. Five stars Café

Great features!
We love our Cafe coffeemaker! It looks beautiful in our newly renovated kitchen. The sleek, modern controls are easy to use, and it brews a delicious cup of coffee. We are pleased to have the ability to use freshly ground beans. It’s also a bonus to either brew a carafe or only a cup of coffee.

So far so good, I have my own personal Starbucks in my home. The only downfall is that it didn't come with a coffee filter so will have to order them. The features and the fresh coffee !! This is just the beginning .

Christmas morning brew
I set up my Cafe brewer X-mas morning. Thanks Santa. I followed instructions, connected to the app. Then added beans. Set brew for 4 cups, utilizing the insulated carafe. Absolutely marvelous coffee. I said goodbye to my Keurig.
I have a potpourri of beans to try. So many options to experiment with. Cheers!☕
