LOUISVILLE, Ky., USA – GE Profile today announced the launch of its GE Profile Smart Grind and Brew Coffee Maker with Podless Single Serve as the solution for ultimate control over crafting the highest-quality coffee ritual. Engineered for speed, convenience, and customization, GE Profile’s latest advancement integrates cutting-edge technology with sleek design and unparalleled performance to ensure the daily grind is fueled without interruption.
Certified by the Specialty Coffee Association (SCA), the GE Profile Smart Grind & Brew optimizes convenience and flexibility with its unique podless design that enhances the freshness of each bean-to-cup coffee brew. Whether it’s directly into a personal mug or sleek 10-cup thermal carafe to share, this brewer elevates the at-home coffee experience.
Now, coffee enthusiasts can enjoy the convenience of single serve without sacrificing a fresh bean to cup brew, while also significantly reducing waste compared to a traditional pod-based single-serve coffee machine. The GE Profile Smart Grind & Brew also features an industry-first steam shield grind chute door that helps to prevent clogs and ensures consistent grinding performance with easy cleaning access.
To further optimize the customization of each brew, the GE Profile Smart Grind & Brew will include SmartHQ AI Coffee Assistant, which is expected to roll out in late January 2025 as a conversational AI experience through the SmartHQ™ app. Unique in the industry, this feature is powered by Google Cloud’s generative AI and offers extensive customization options for tailored brew preferences, scheduling, and the opportunity to create three custom user profiles. Additional AI app assistance offers real-time feedback for additional brew customization, product questions, guided care recommendations, and is equipped with intuitive learning that automatically adjusts brewing based on questions asked.
The GE Profile Smart Grind & Brew delivers the perfect blend of design and innovation for a truly personalized coffee experience. Additional industry-leading features include:
- Stainless Steel Built-In Conical Burr Grinder with six adjustable settings that grinds whole bean coffee into freshly ground brews, removing the need for an accessory coffee bean grinder and guaranteeing a fresh cup of coffee compared to pre-ground coffee beans.
- Innovative Carbon Water Filter with a sealed gasket removes chlorine and odors from the water to help achieve pure flavor extraction and provide the highest-quality coffee flavor.
- Contemporary Form and Function includes features like a removable brew stand to help fit single-serve travel tumblers, a low-clearance, rotating brew basket for added convenience and ease of use, as well as a “Grind Off” feature for those who prefer to use pre-ground coffee instead of whole beans.
- Intuitive LED Touch Screen for optimal customization, enabling owners to adjust settings or receive alerts, like care instructions. A dynamic light bar in the GE Profile gradient displays the status of the grinding and brewing process.
- Small Footprint and Large Capacity with a removeable 90oz. water reservoir that holds enough water for two full carafes and a compact footprint that fits seamlessly into any kitchen design or coffee bar. It also includes two gold-tone mesh, reusable coffee filters optimized for large or small-batch brewing to ensure the best possible flavor.
- Connected Customization with Wifi Connectivity and mobile device control capability via the SmartHQ™ app, including the power to customize the strength, temperature, and bloom time, and set up a custom delayed brew.
