TERRIBLE QUALITY and even worse…
TERRIBLE QUALITY and even worse customer service. I bought the Café™ Specialty Drip Coffee Maker to celebrate a career milestone. I expected much better craftsmanship and durability for an appliance that cost over $400 — and it’s beyond frustrating that it hasn’t lived up to its promise. Within a year of purchase, the coating in the thermal carafe began peeling. Shortly after the peeling started, I noticed flakes of the coating in my coffee, making it unsafe to use the carafe. It is completely unacceptable for something at this price point to break down a year after purchase. Beyond being an inconvenience and waste of my hard-earned money, it’s also disheartening to think about the environmental impact. In just over a year, I’m now faced with the expense of replacing it and the guilt of sending it to the landfill. It feels like such a waste for something that should have lasted much longer. Nobody seems to keen on helping me out. So I guess I'm just out $400 and my local landfill gets yet another "modern" appliance that doesn't even last a year.
