    By rain_ember  May 22, 2006 | 4 out of 5 found this Melitta MEMB1B Mill & Brew review helpful

    Pros: Easy to clean and coffee takes great

    Cons: auto shut off after 1 hour, to soon

    Very well designed Coffee maker and Grinder in one. Up side of this coffee maker is the ease in cleaning the build in filter with the grinding blade. I've owned a Cuisinart with build in grinder and spent most of my time cleaning all the differen...t chambers, more of a hassle than it was worth. This Melitta Mill & Brew is fabulous to clean and use. Down side is timer only last an hour then turns self off. But well worth the taste of the coffee and convenience. I give this a five star rating all the way. Read more Less

    Love Our Coffee Maker

    By Joseph  Feb 5, 2009 | 1 out of 1 found this Melitta MEMB1B Mill & Brew review helpful

    Pros: You can use whole bean or turn the mill off and use ground coffee

    Cons: Take a the time to place the basket in correctly or you can break the latch on lid.

    My husband love this coffee maker because it brews great coffee. You can use whole bean or ground coffee, you can turn the mill off. This is our second one because we break the latch on the lid .We finally found our second one at Outlet mall at a Kit...chen shop for around $50.00. We had this one for four years and still works great. Read more Less

    Owned for 3 years & still brewing

    By StaceyA  Feb 5, 2009 | 1 out of 1 found this Melitta MEMB1B Mill & Brew review helpful

    Pros: love the different settings for grinding

    Cons: doesn't stay on long enough

    I have bought several other coffee makers/grinders and this one has beat them all! Love the timer setting- I like strong coffee, my husband likes his a little weaker- overall a great buy for the price

    Pros: Easy to use, easy to clean, only 1 part to clean!

    Grinds and brew simultaneously love this!!!

    By Tambra  Feb 24, 2009

    Pros: Grinds whole bean coffee

    Cons: Brew basket lid breaks easily

    I have loved my coffee maker for 5 years now. However, early on the brew basket lid broke. I am so tired of having to put a heavy object on top of the lid so it will stay shut and grind and brew. This looks very tacky. I could not for the life of me ...figure out how this happened, it occured when my son and daughter-in-law were house sitting. Now I see this is a regular occurence. As much as I love this maker I may have to go for another brand now. I'm replacing it only because of the broken lid. Since, this seems to be a problem with this maker, I think I'll try another one. Too bad, other than that little problem, this is a great maker. Read more Less

    Bad Quality

    By Barry  Dec 3, 2008

    Pros: Great for a Minute

    Love this Coffee Maker

    By Cindy  Dec 2, 2008

    Pros: able to grind coffee bean

    Cons: latch very flimsy and breaks

    For this price it is a very good coffee maker. I do have to admit that the latching lid is flimsy and broke. I did call the manufature and they DID have the replacement part. I was torn on whether I should have thrown this away and get another one. B...ut looking around I decided to fork over the 18.00 for the part. I do enjoy all the feature and had the maker for over 3 years before it broke. The no longer make this model and I am actually thinking of trying to find another as a back up. :) Read more Less

    Parts

    By Cheryl  Nov 25, 2008

    Pros: delicious coffee

    Cons: parts break and are not replaceable

    I am appalled that parts are no longer available for this item. I have one, I have loved it but the locking mechanism breaks and I now have to tape it shut since I can no longer buy a new lid!!!

    I LOVE this coffee maker but....

    By bunnyfooofoooo  May 15, 2008

    Pros: Great Coffee, Great Price

    Cons: Coffee isnt hot enough

    I have found I have to fill coffee maker with hot water so that it will brew a hot cup of coffee. Then the warming plate shuts off in what seems to me to be a very short time. So I then have to set it to brew without grinding, to turn the warming pla...te back on. Other than that, its a GREAT machine, no other problems. I am hoping its just a fluke, and am going to try buying another one and keep this for back up. If it does the same thing, I will repost. Its about 2 years old, but I dont remember it ever brewing very hot coffee. Even visitors have commented on it not being hot. Read more Less

    Great coffee maker

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Sep 30, 2007

    Pros: Grinds the coffee and makes a great pot of coffee

    Cons: Short holding time - 1 hr. too short!

    This coffeemaker makes a great pot of coffee and is pretty easy to clean - especially compared to how difficult it is to "clean out/empty" the individual coffee grinder in the separate units. I cut back on the amount of coffee - use 3 coff...ee measures (not the one that comes with this coffee maker) and that is very flavorful for the 10 cup amount (full). The instructions call for more but our tastes were satisfied with less. It's a little tricky to assemble the filter/mill holding compartment the first few times but with practice and paying attention - works great. I also called customer service to solve a small problem and they were most helpful. Melitta needs to make the auto turn off time at least 2 hours. I think they make it short to make sure the flavor holds up - and the coffee is quite flavorful. I replaced a Bunn coffee maker (to get the auto turn off and grind feature) and I thought it made a great cup - this is better. The mill and grind feature is much better than the more expensive Cuisinart - bought one of those and sent it back! Good price, too. Read more Less
