Café™ Specialty Drip Coffee Maker with Glass Carafe
Product Details
Web ID: 5243884Quit working after 90 days. Zero support.
The coffee was fine while it lasted, but it only lasted 3 months before it quit working. There is no error message, I fill it, start it, and it just sits there and makes no coffee. The manual directs you to the care section of the website. The care section of the website is a pdf of the manual sending you to the website. In other words, they provide as much care as coffee — exactly zero.

Poor quality materials
I've had this coffee maker for 2.5 years and the areas that have metallic finish are all peeling off and look terrible. It makes great coffee but the materials should last longer that. I have taken very good care of and only ever wash it by hand with non-abrasive cleaner, so I'm disappointed in the quality and would not purchase again.

Looks pretty, but breaks quickly!
I love the way this coffee pot looks on my counter and it makes a great cup of coffee, for about 2-3 weeks before it breaks. I'm on my 2nd one, after much jumping through hoops to get a replacement, and this new one has already broken, too. They are poorly made and very fickle, and this is coming from someone who has had multiple Cuisinart coffee pots that have lasted 5-10 years each.

Lukewarm coffee
I hate this machine! I had it replaced once because the coffee comes out lukewarm and the new one did the same! I couldn’t imagine it was going to happen again so I threw out the box and now I’m stuck with it!

Beautiful coffee pot
The coffee maker is beautiful but a little difficult to figure out how to just get all of the settings right and just brew a pot of coffee. I wish it was just touch and go would be helpful

Pro's and cons, both sides
Pro's It's a nice looking coffee pot, easy to fill the water, I like the settings to be able to brew different pot sizes and different temperatures. I just learned how much coffee flavor can be increased by brewing different roasts at different temperatures. Fairly easy to connect to the wi-fi app and use that. Con's , It broke within 4 months, and then took 5 weeks, 5 phone calls, talking to 11 different people in 4 departments, spending 92 minutes on the phone to get a replacement.

Pretty but not functioning
I can’t get the machine out of descale mode. I have looked online and followed all suggestions to no avail. This is frustrating.
