Amazon.com Review
Wake up and smell the coffee--not just freshly brewed coffee but freshly ground coffee for full-bodied flavor. This coffeemaker does everything but serve a steaming cup on a silver tray. For the full experience, here's how it goes: pour water into reservoir (a window gauge shows the desired level up to 10 cups); spoon roasted coffee beans into permanent stainless-steel filter basket (no disposable filters needed); program mill to grind beans as you wish (seven settings, from fine to coarse); set clock to current time of day; program timer to begin automatic grinding and brewing process at the hour and minute you wish; sleep like a baby; savor coffee precisely as you like it when you awake. Ground coffee can be used instead of whole beans, and the whole coffee-making process can be initiated instantly without setting the timer. Other attributes: dripping ceases when the tempered-glass carafe is removed from the nonstick warming plate; shutting down is automatic after one hour to prevent damage; cord stores in the rear of the unit. This is a thoroughly modern coffeemaker, suitable for people who take coffee seriously but crave convenience. --Fred Brack

Customer Reviews

Best deal on the market
I researched a grind and brew coffee maker for 3 months before purchasing this one. I'm thrilled with it. I used to work at prominent kitchenware store and didn't hear good customer reviews about the Cusineart Grind and Brew and the Capresso.... The Melitta makes a great cup of coffee, it's easy to use, grinds the beans quickly and you get your choice of course to super fine. The only programing is easy as is the clean up...no hassle which was important to me. The only thing I have noticed is that you need to use more scoops of beans than specified. (I make 4 cups each morning and use about 3 scoops of beans for strong coffee)...

The best grind and brew
This is definitely the best grind and brew coffeemaker available, and I love it. As I write this, I am drinking an amazing cup of coffee made by it. I know the Cuisinart quite well, and the Melitta is a far superior machine. All automatic grinders are going to make noise, but the Melitta is comparatively quiet, easy to operate and clean, and has a timer. I recommend it wholeheartedly. Two friends have bought it and love it, too. No filters ever again, no more coffee grinds all over the counter, and the coffee really tastes fresh. It is also the smallest grind and brew out there. After you first get it, you have to experiment a little with the grind time, which will affect the strength of your coffee. But anyone who has ever used a coffee grinder will master this in about two pots of coffee. Great product.

A Great Little Machine
The Melitta Mill and Brew Coffeemaker is perfect for anyone who takes their coffee seriously. I have used it for several weeks now, preparing everything the night before and setting the timer for a fresh pot in the morning. By doing so, I save myself the time and hassle of grinding separately and transferring grinds to the machine. There are several reasons why I rate this machine at 4 stars and not 5. Although it comes with a wire mesh filter (no need to buy anymore), if the mill setting is set for "fine", you'll have some grinds that go through the mesh and into the pot of coffee. If this doesn't bother you, it won't be a problem. Otherwise, you'll need to adjust the mill setting to be more coarse. Also, the part of the machine which houses the filter needs to be washed thoroughly because, again, the grinds which escape the filter settle in this area. Luckily, the housing can be easily taken off the machine and washed. Washing the filter itself is no problem becuase you would expect to do this with any reuseable filter. These minor inconveniences would not have stopped me from purchasing this machine. It is a welcome addition to my kitchen.
