We recommend performing a full system reset by disconnecting power from the unit for at least 1 hour before reconnecting. If this doesn't resolve the issue, we recommend reaching out to our Bodewell warranty team by calling 833-426-3393 (Monday – Friday: 8 a.m. – 8 p.m. ET) for further assistance.

2nd unit working ok. 1st unit failed after 2 month

The second unit is working. The first unit stopped functioning properly after less than 2 months of use. GE did the right thing and honored the 1 year warranty and sent a new unit after some back and forth and requiring arduous steps for a replacement.

Not bad at all!

Is this is best espresso machine on the planet? No. But it is a great option for folks who want great espresso on a budget. It can be a little glitchy at times, but 98% of the time it brews perfect espresso. It's simple enough to clean. The water tank has great capacity! We do not use WiFi enabled features on appliances so I can't speak to the interface. I just can't imaging needing to make coffee with my phone. It is plastic mostly, but it looks really nice on the counter with all the other coffee appliances!

Very unsatisfied for cost!

Nothing but trouble from the start. And suggested fixes did not help. Cleaned numerous times and still spits grinds everywhere. Wish I would have read reviews before I purchased. If I did I would have purchased a different brand completely.

We have sent you an email directly as we would like to review your situation further. Please respond at your earliest convenience. In the meantime, check to be sure the grinder is clean. Also, reduce the amount of grinds being used and be careful not to tamp the grinds too tight.

Terrible Product

GE needs to stop selling this. Like a lot of other reviews, we have a machine that constantly leaks. We already got it replaced once and the new one constantly leaks too. The grinder doesn’t work. Horrible machine - GE needs to remove this product from their lineup. By

It is a great addition to my home

I love my Cafe Bellissimo machine. It is such great quality and so easy to use. Very happy with the quality of the machine and it is great addition to my home. It took me a bit of time to learn how to use it as I am not a coffee professional but have enjoyed using it once I figure it out. The instructions provided were so easy. Love the easy clean up of the machine as well.

Grinder

The grinder went out after almost a year of using it. I kept up today on all the routine maintenance and cleaning up the grinder weekly and use high-quality espresso beans, but it was burnt out and basically melted when I called GE it was right past my year warranty so they offered no help. This is an expensive purchase for it to last no longer than a year. It does pre-ground espresso beans well still.
