[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Best coffee maker I've ever owned! A burr grinder coffee marker that calculates how many beans to use was my #1 request. Beyond that, it offers personalization for grinding size, temperature and brew strength. The fact that it is pre-programed for the Gold standard was a plus! Was concerned about not having a heating element, but the stainless steel carafe keeps coffee hot and there is a timer that reflects how long it has been since brewing was complete. Fantastic choice - delicious coffee.

This is our second time giving this machine the chance to work appropriately. Two different machines, two months of proper working and then, THERE ARE NEVER THE CORRECT AMOUNT OF BEANS. We have to literally open the flap, do nothing to the beans, press BREW and POOF! it's working. I'm done. If GE doesn't want this machine, I'm going to throw it away. I hope Shark makes a better product.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So far so good. Appreciate the temp control options and burr grinder options. Primary use with carafe which is well designed compared to competition. Appears to absorb some water in beans so be prepared for reduced output. Nice design overall. Bean hopper and burr grinder and water well separated. Most important is coffee now has taste! ( Using ame beans as old machine from well known competitor

I like the setup and the coffee this makes. Unfortunately the grinder isn't able to be properly cleaned and after two months it wasn't getting any grinds through. I never used dark roast, and always used the most coarse setting but even that is pretty fine… I cleaned out the grinder with the instructions in the manual after the first 25 brews and it was fine, but before I got to 50 brews it clogged up on me. It seems like part of the grind mechanism is not reachable which is a pretty big flaw. I cleaned everything out that was accessible and still get no grounds coming through.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really enjoy using the GE Profile Smart Grind and Brew Coffee Maker. The brewing options are very versatile and let me choose exactly how strong I want my coffee. I love that it's podless, so I can use my own beans and always get a fresh grind for every cup. The design looks sleek and modern on my counter, and it's surprisingly easy to clean. It feels durable and well made, with simple controls that make it convenient for daily use. Perfect for anyone who loves freshly ground coffee without the waste of pods.

There aren't many options that offer both carafe and single serve options in a home machine. But of the few that I found and/or tried, this is the better option, hands down. With only a tweak or two, it would absolutely be in a class of its own, if it's not already. The goods things... Water volume - I mostly use it as a single serve machine and I get about 6 large 14oz cups from a tank, which covers at least 2 typical days or more for me, and runs out just before the bean hopper does - nice. Consistency - Each cup has been just like the previous with the same settings, i.e. same volume, same grinds in the basket, same flavor, etc. (Another machine from a different mfgr often times wasn't even close between cups). It's quiet - The grinder is the quietest of any that I've compared - really impressive. From my phone, from my bed - With just a few taps of my phone, I can start the machine from anywhere. Added controls - At least from the app, there are nice options to adjust various aspects of the brew, such as grinding time, bloom, etc. Cleanup - So far has been quite simple. The grinder doesn't make a horrible mess all over as I've seen in others, and I like that! Takes me less than 30 seconds to clean the basket and mesh filter between cups. Well worth it knowing that I'm getting a fresh bean-to-cup every time. Size and style - Fits beautifully underneath my cabinet and takes up much less space than a typical machine, especially when you have a separate grinder! And it looks so much better, too! What keeps it from getting the 5th star?.... The slider - Don't forget to confirm the adjustment. The slider is what depresses the stopper in the basket so that it will release and fill a single cup since a carafe is not underneath to press it manually. I've forgotten it a time or two, and fortunately, it didn't overflow. Instead, it was like an infusion where the grounds sit in the water for an extended period of time. The cup of coffee was good, but it caused a little silt in the bottom of the cup which leaves an off-putting texture in your mouth. I think that's something that could be fixed on future models. Different settings based upon access - Not all features and/or adjustments can be made manually. There are more options for control via the app than from the manual touch pad interface. No bloom selections, grind time adjustment, etc. from the manual controls. That's unfortunate. Restricted height - Would be really nice if a small portion of the drip tray could be removed to accommodate a larger travel mug. Seems that everyone likes about 7" clearance, but I have a couple of travel mugs/thermoses that are just a little taller. The additional inch or two that that would accommodate would go a long way. And, too much height, sometimes - Although any splatter that I've gotten has been rather minimal, a foldable stand that would accommodate a shorter mug would be nice. As I mentioned earlier, I use a rather large mug and there will occasionally be a few splatter droplets outside the mug. But a smaller mug results in a larger mess that could easily be avoided if the mug were lifted an inch or two. So all in all, no regrets. I know that the imperfections are probably kinda picky, but at a price point that this machine falls in to, I don't feel like it's asking too much. And at the end of the day, it's a MUCH better machine than any others of a similar price.

I've only used the coffee maker to make single cups, which is why I bought it. No matter what I do the coffee is incredibly weak. I've set it on gold. I've set it on bold I've set it on extra bold, I have adjusted the grind size. Nothing works. I get weak watery coffee every time.

The machine looks good, and I like the functionality of the grinder built in. Have had this for maybe 1 month and now the brew basket will not stay closed. Have to hold it closed for it to actually grind the beans. Really disappointed in this as this is not a cheap appliance.

The coffee that it makes is flavorful - however it is a problem with the machine. The side vent spits and leaks water out as if it was a small geyser. It also leaks water out onto the carafe and then will start to leak out of the bottom if you don't soak the water up after every use.

I've had the maker for about a year. The catch for the grounds basket is junk. Mine pop's open consistently. That stops the cycle, but will restart when closed. It seems like the basket assembly just has too much slop. There's a support that should help locate the basket to keep it from popping open, but doesn't. I don't know if it's materials, tolerancing, thermal effects, but it's crappy. Ultimately while trying to get the basket to stay closed, I broke the the tab on the basket that keeps it closed. It doesn't seem like the basket assembly is replaceable. So, this is headed for the trash. The app is below average. Won't allow a scheduled x-strong 10-cup brew. But you can do that as a predefined brew and just manually start it through the app... The app allows for additional grind time which is nice, because the brews are otherwise on the weak side. The hopper is a little small, but holds about 3-4 pots worth of beans for x-strong
