It includes a permanent stainless steel filter, pause-to-pour function, warming plate with auto shut-off, and water reservoir with large view window. The user interface is fluent in French, Spanish and English.MSN Direct is plug and play with no set up, no subscription, no Internet. Instead, you get specific region, up-to-the-minute weather data via FM signal right to the coffee maker! The info includes forecasts, NWS warnings and alerts, UV index, sunrise/sunset and more. The built-in clock is automatically set by radio signals it restores itself after power interruptions and springs forward and falls back all by itself! Measures 14" x 11" x 8". One-year warranty.

Customer Reviews

Horrible machine and parts
I had a Melitta MEMB1B for a few years and loved the coffee and machine. When it finally started leaking too much, I replaced it with the "smart" mill and brew. Smart machine maybe, but I was a stupid idiot for buying it (and paying WAAAAY more than my original wonderful Melitta. After only 3 or 4 weeks, the plastic posts on the carafe lid broke off. After about 1 1/2 months the weather and everything else stopped working, giving me error messages that something was not functioning and no info could be obtained. After 3 months, I turned it on, and....nothing. It won't brew.

AVOID this machine like the plague. I wrote to Melitta and no answer. I threw it in the trash.

Won't Buy it Again
We've had the Smart Mill & Brew for over a year. My husband purchased it, and now that I'm searching for replacement baskets and seeing how much the darn thing cost in the first place ... he's in trouble. We love the coffee it makes, but within a few months we had to replace the carafe because the cheap plastic lid broke. He called the manufacturer for a replacement. We had a black machine, they only had white replacement carafe, so they gave us free shipping. Now the filter material on the basket is pulling loose, so in searching for that replacement I find the product is no longer manufactured, and I can't find a basket for it. It's worked for much longer than some other purchasers' machines, but not being able to find parts for it is annoying. And the weather station is an absolute joke. Another reviewer said it ... look out the window. This review is probably a waste of time since the particular product is no longer manufactured, but I'd be wary of buying another Melitta product just because their customer service is hinky at best.

Not a good choice
We have owned several Melittas over the years and loved their previous Mill and Brew. When we had to replace our model after two years the style was no longer available. We purchased the Smart Mill and Brew and are not happy. Too big in size, too complicated to operate between grind and ground, warmer turns off to soon, and what a waste addding the weather station in it. I have replaced it with another mfg model. I would not recommend this brewer.
