Worry-Free Purchase
Very easy to set up and operate. The grinder, water fill, carafe, all work well. The coffee tastes fresh, robust. I tried using already ground coffee and it works well too. I'm quite satisfied with this coffee maker. I was worried about its height compared to our old maker, but found a spot, and note that steam doesn't escape from the top as it did in old maker.
Previous ice maker was noisy. Water in the reservoir often tainted yellow, and had a dark film inside that required frequent cleaning. Our new GEVI ice machine is quieter, water stays clean and requires only the recommended cleaning frequency.
I’ve been using the GEVI Programmable 10-Cup Grind & Brew Coffee Maker with Built-in Grinder since the beginning of December, and overall, I’m satisfied with its performance and convenience. The built-in grinder is a great feature and makes fresh coffee easy without needing a separate appliance. The machine consistently brews good-tasting coffee and does what it’s designed to do.
That said, there are a few areas where improvements would make it even better. The water reservoir is located on the back, which can be a bit inconvenient, especially if the machine is placed under cabinets—having it on the side would be much more user-friendly, or being able to remove it to re-fill it would be ideal. I’d also appreciate a better measuring scoop for whole beans, ideally one that clearly corresponds to how many cups you’re brewing, as that would help with consistency; and especially since you are not supposed to leave unused beans in the grinder area.
I did experience one odd issue where the display screen began flashing uncontrollably and none of the buttons worked. The only way to fix it was to unplug the machine for about five minutes to reset it. While this hasn’t happened again, it was a little concerning.
Overall, despite a few minor inconveniences, I’m happy with the purchase. The GEVI Grind & Brew offers good value, solid coffee quality, and convenient features, and with a few refinements, it could be an excellent machine
This was a gift for my parents. So far they really like the fact that it will grind their beans before brewing the coffee. Brews much faster than their previous coffee maker.
We love it! We are newly retired and no longer need the Keurig to make our quick cup of coffee on the go. We got the Gevi and a couple good bags of coffee beans and we are happy as can be. We make a 6–8 pot of coffee most mornings and we leisurely sip and enjoy.
