After extensive research we settled on the Gevi and it’s been a good investment. We use the Program feature with preground coffee every weekday morning, then use the grinder on weekends. It’s wonderful to have coffee ready when we roll out of bed! Wish the grinder could be accessed for cleaning but the design seems to prevent a lot of buildup. Regular cleaning of the water tank with vinegar has prevented issues from our hard water, it does sometimes slobber when filled but turns out that results from impatience on our part (either pour slower or lift the carafe lid so water isn’t backed up at the spout). And no parts have broken or malfunctioned until now. At about 3 years of age, it’s developed a glitch where shutting off the hotplate either manually or via the timer causes all displays to blink, then we must unplug, plug back in and reprogram before we can brew or grind again. We did not buy the extended warranty so knew it was no longer covered and suspected this was unfixable, but I contacted Support anyhow. No, they don’t sell control panel components but did offer a discount if we want to buy a replacement machine. Realistically I see 3 years as a pretty good run for any item with electronics so I think Gevi is still a sound choice. I’d love to buy once and not replace ever again, but that would likely mean returning to a stovetop percolator, no thanks! I’ll be taking advantage of that discount with the extended warranty this time.
