Average Rating: 
Rating:  - We love this coffee maker...
It took just a few pots to settle on a formula we like (amount of beans and fineness of the grind). The mill is very quiet. The carafe is very handsome and doesn't drip at all. The best part is the convenience of just loading it with the beans and then pushing the timer button - what a time saver! What I hadn't realized when I bought it is that the basket for the ground coffee is also the grinder, so there is a blade at the bottom, like a blender. This part of the unit will need to be replaced someday so I hope it's easy to get ahold of. Bottom line is that it works beautifully and I was able to train my husband easily!
Rating:  - The Cop and a cup of coffee
Believe it or not, but this Trooper knows how to do more than just write tickets! Knowing good Coffee is another one of my talents. I'm not into donuts so I'll leave that up to the fat cops. I've owned a first generation Cuisinart Grind and Brew for the last 4 years. It's been a wonderful coffee maker. The heating element finally died so I retired it. After some research I decided on the Melitta Mill and Brew mainly because of features and price. I've had it a couple weeks and for the most part, I like it. The unit fits under the cabinets without a problem. It's really easy to clean the bean basket and as mentioned by another reviewer a sink sprayer really does the trick. The coffee Does Not taste like plastic. I really like the option of chosing the grind of the beans. The timer works flawlessly and it is very user friendly to program.
The only way the ginder is quiet is if it's off or you live in a castle and your bedroom in in the opposite wing. But, what do you expect? Rock hard beans and a stainless steel blade spinning at high speed? The coffee comes out plenty hot, but the carafe is not heated so it will cool down pretty quick unless you have preheated the it with hot water. If you're like me and doctor the coffee up with fu-fu creamers and or Bailey's Irish Cream you might need to nuke it in the microwave for a few seconds before drinking. Other than that, it makes a great cup-o-joe. Remember, it's a only a $...machine that does a lot for the money. Enjoy!
Rating: - Makes a great cup of strong coffee!
I'll begin this review by describing this unit's sole weakness: to keep the coffee hot longer than an hour you need to pre-rinse the thermal carafe with hot water. You probably won't do this if you use the very reliable timer. If you enjoy your coffee blonde and sweet, you might need to show the mug a little radar love (microwave) to boost the heat...Even with this minor issue, I still feel compelled to give this unit five stars. I'm not trying to hyperinflate the score. I don't have stock in the company. It's just that this baby makes a great cup of strong coffee! I bought this to replace a 15 year old Krups machine. I still have the Krups. The Melitta was purchased mainly because of the timer. I wanted to wake up to a cup of java. I also think coffee tastes better when the beans are ground right before brewing. Based upon other reviews and the Culinary Institute's award, I crossed my fingers and bought this machine. I'm glad I did. I prefer strong coffee, like S-bucks bold Kenya roast. Utilizing a ratio of x cups of water (measured on the machine's water lines) to x+1 scoops of coffee (using the provided scoop), makes the perfect cup of coffee for me (eg - 6 cups of water and 7 scoops of coffee beans = good coffee). If I make 6 cups or less, I grind it on 4; greater than 6 cups - I grind it on 5. The machine is easy to use, easy to program, and easy to clean. I love it! It makes a really wonderful cup of coffee. Quite simply, the Melitta really delivers!
