Final Verdict

In our opinion, the Gevi 10-Cup Grind and Brew is one of the better midrange grind and brew drip coffee machines available on the market. It’s easy to use, and simple to maintain but also brews a nice cup of coffee.

And for the $150 retail price the features like adjustable grinding, immersion technology and auto programming make it a pretty good value buy.

On the other hand, there are some questions about just how durable it is and the customer service is not going to win any service awards soon as poor as it is.

Gevi 10-Cup Grind and Brew Review and Rating

Build/Quality

What is it made of? 

  • Mostly is made from aluminum and hard plastic.
  • The coffee bean storage container is made from hard-clear plastic and the carafe is made from glass.
  • The burr grinder is made from steel.

How durable is it?

  • For most users, the Gevi Grind and Brew is durable enough to get a good few years of service from it.
  • However, there have been some customer reports of the water not heating up, the hot plate no longer working, or the machine simply stops brewing within a few short months.

Quality Rating: 7.5

Performance

What brew modes does it have?

  • You can brew fresh coffee directly from your favorite coffee grounds or use fresh beans from the hopper.
  • For beans from the hopper, there are 8 different settings of coarseness that you can choose from to get the flavor you are looking for.
  • Whether you decide to brew from the coffee grounds or use the grind and brew option to brew from coffee beans, you can either use the brew now mode or set the 24-hour digital timer to brew later. If you set the timer, the coffee beans will be ground right before they are brewed.

Strength control?

  • Three settings to determine strength: strong, medium, and mild.

Temperature control?

  • None

How many cups does it make?

  • This Gevi machine can make anywhere from 2 to 10 cups at a time.

How fast does it brew?

  • Anywhere from 10-17 minutes depending on the number of cups and strength

How quiet is it?

  • The built-in burr grinder can be quite noisy for some.
  • However, if your kitchen is far from your bedrooms and you set the timer to grind and brew before you awake, the noise should not be a problem at all. 

How is the taste and flavor?

  • Almost everyone says their coffee is fresh with decent flavor.
  • With eight different settings of coarseness, three settings for strength, and an immersion function each coffee drinker can experiment on the right balance to get the taste you want. 

Performance rating: 8.3

Ease of use/Maintenance

How big is it?

  • Coming in at 8.25” long x 10” wide x 17” tall, the Gevi 10 grind and brew is sizable but not over obtrusive on counter space.
  • But may not fit under your cabinets very easily

How heavy? Portable?

  • Weighs about 12 pounds so not very portable.

LCD display or push buttons or both?

  • LCD display with a 24-hour clock timer and push buttons to access all the programmable features.

How easy is it to use?

  • For the most part this Gevi coffee maker is pretty easy to learn and use.
  • Just pour in coffee beans, pour in water, choose how many cups you want, the grind setting, strength setting and push a button to get your delicious brew going!

Maintenance reminders?

  • No, but the machine, filter, and grinder need to be cleaned about once a week and de-limed about once a month. 
  • You can de-lime the Gevi 10-Cup Grind and Brew by purchasing a descaling solution, mixing it with water, and then running it through the machine with a brew cycle. Or, some users prefer to use white vinegar because it is chemically less harsh. 

How easy is it to clean?

  • There were no significant complaints about the machine being difficult to clean we could find. Simply dump you grounds and wash the filters and carafe in soap and water. Pretty easy.

Ease of use/Maintenance rating: 7.8
