Problems encountered with the Melitta Mill & Brew MEMB1B 10-cup coffee Maker
The Melitta Mill & Brew MEMB1B 10-cup coffee Maker is known to sell like hotcakes in the market for its unbelievably efficient features, but however, there are still setbacks when you buy this product. As most of the users have said about other coffee makers, the grinder of the Melitta Mill & Brew MEMB1B 10-cup coffee Maker produces quite a loud sound whenever the coffee is being processed. Another thing to note about the coffee maker is its automatic shut-off function. Yes, this is indeed an excellent safety feature, but for most of the users, this can also be considered as a disadvantage. The automatic shut-off feature of the Melitta Mill & Brew MEMB1B 10-cup coffee Maker will give the users a generous supply of cold coffee when there is still an amount left in the coffee maker.

March 5th, 2008 at 2:49 am
I, too, need a replacement carafe for my MEMB1B.
March 7th, 2008 at 5:57 pm
I also need a replacement carafe for my MEMB1B Mill and Brew…please help…
April 4th, 2008 at 8:50 am
I also need a replacement 10 cup carafe for my MEMB1B Mill and Brew
April 6th, 2008 at 2:21 am
I also need replacement. This is frustrating!
April 16th, 2008 at 10:51 pm
found a phone no. to order carafe but they are on backorder. 1-800-233-9054
April 22nd, 2008 at 1:58 am
I need a replacement also!!!!!!!
May 2nd, 2008 at 12:39 am
i need instruction manual for MEMB1B Melitta Mill and Brew. can’t find one.
May 5th, 2008 at 8:01 am
Good news everyone,
I found an easy replacement. It is the 12 cup Mister Coffee replacement carafe. You can find this at Walmart. The only thing is it just barely fits. You push it in with a little force. The good thing is it holds 12 cups and you don’t have to buy a new machine.
June 13th, 2008 at 4:40 pm
I need an instruction manual
July 6th, 2008 at 3:19 pm
ALSO NEED REPLACEMENT CARAFE GETTING MAD MAY NOT BUY ANOTHER MELITTA PRODUCT
August 11th, 2008 at 6:58 am
I believe you need to call to order one. According to what I currently found on their website they are only offering a replacement carafe for a different model, but then explain that you need to call their manufacturing partner to order any other replacements: https://shop.melitta.com/itemdy00.asp?T1=30+644&Cat=
I’d have your machine’s model # handy for when you call.
August 26th, 2008 at 9:19 pm
Good luck finding any at the phone number for Fox-International who is the supplier for Melitta. They do not have any Mill and Brew carafe either and “don’t know when …or if…they will get them in from the manufacturer” However they will take your $25.99 payment so that “if” they come in one will be sent to you immediately. But they aren’t sure when. Very disappointed in this. And we LOVE our Mill and Brew.
September 3rd, 2008 at 9:03 pm
I found a 10 cup replacement carafe at Target for $9.99.
September 4th, 2008 at 12:23 pm
Buy.com lists the carafe as unavailable from the manufacturer. Odd thing is I got a replacement grinder basket no problem about a month ago…really hope I can find a carafe!
September 8th, 2008 at 2:29 pm
I can’t believe I’m having so much trouble finding a replacement carafe! I guess I’m not alone. I absolutely love the coffee maker – but never thought it would be so difficult once the carafe broke.
September 13th, 2008 at 6:19 am
Have been looking for a carafe for over two months. No luck. Ours broken in transit and they were to replace. Still waiting.
September 14th, 2008 at 3:20 am
Don’t hold your breath waiting. We ordered one the beginning of june and still have not received it.
September 20th, 2008 at 10:05 pm
Just bought a ME1MSB, kept the basket and carafe from my old MEMB1B (same parts). Ummm… do I hear any offers? lol
October 1st, 2008 at 2:52 am
I’m going to Target to see if I can find the 10 cup replacement that Stephanie mentioned on the 3rd of September for $9.99. Wish me luck
October 6th, 2008 at 2:58 pm
I called the 1800 number today 1-800-233-9054. They are still on back order.
October 9th, 2008 at 12:10 am
I just spoke to a customer service rep at Fox who seemed to know what she was doing. She said they are no longer making this model and do not have any replacement parts. Sigh.
October 9th, 2008 at 12:05 pm
Is the replacement carafe at Target a Mellita product? If not, what is the make & model number?
October 9th, 2008 at 8:27 pm
At the Melitta website, you can order the replacement carafe in white. It’s very easy to take the black handle off the broken carafe and install it on the white replacement.
October 21st, 2008 at 7:29 pm
We needed a replacement carafe as well for our black mill and brew….we bought the white one from the official Melitta site and used it. You can switch out the white pieces for your black pieces by removing the small screw at the band. Very easy to do…. we are happy with Melitta once again!
October 28th, 2008 at 10:10 pm
I did the same thing Charlene did after visiting this site. I emailed Melitta and suggested they pass on this information to their customers. They responded back saying it may not be safe because you may not tighten the screw enough or get it to tight. I did it anyway, and it works great. Like new! Just be careful with the tension on the screw. : )
November 2nd, 2008 at 11:25 pm
Found a product listing at Gourmet Depot, but it’s also on backorder. Ack!

November 15th, 2008 at 6:09 pm
I look at Target, Walmart & every kitchen supply store every few weeks for a replacement carafe but can’t even find the Melitta grind & brew anywhere! I’ll try Bryan’s Mr. Coffee replacement.
November 15th, 2008 at 9:04 pm
For a copy of the instruction manual for the Melitta Mill & Brew go to:

Just called about an order for 2 replacement carafes and was told that this product has been discontinued and no more carafes are available. I bought 2 Melitta Mill and Brew units 2 years ago and am inclined to avoid Melitta coffee makes in future.
November 21st, 2008 at 9:54 pm
Hey All: Target & Walmart didn’t have a 10 cup replacement caraf either. We ended up tossing it and bought a Cuisinart Grind and Brew machine at Macy’s. It’s loud when it grinds, but it gets the job done & it’s programmable.
November 24th, 2008 at 5:45 pm
will NOT buy any more melitta products they cant even replace a carafe 10 cup I orded in july08 by by melitta think i will get back my 70.00 bucks i dont so but you never no.
December 6th, 2008 at 2:58 am
Your best bet is to go to the Ebay website and search for melitta products. There are generally a wide range of replacement parts for the Mill and Brew Melitta MEMB1b/w

https://shop.melitta.com/itemdy00.asp?T1=30+644&Cat=
This is the link to order a white replacement. I ordered mine and hope to switch it to black as I saved the broken one. Wife will be happy for Christmas! We bought our Mill and Brew on clearance at K-Mart for about $36 – we love it!
December 8th, 2008 at 9:08 pm
Where can you buy a basket for this machine?
December 9th, 2008 at 3:11 am
To those that are using Mr. Coffee carafes with their Mill & Brews–there’s more than a few 10-12 cup replacement carafes out there. Could you share exactly which ones fit (with a bit of a shove) the Mill and Brew?
p.s. to Mike — yes, we know, there is a link to order a white replacement. Unfortunately they are not in stock, will not be in stock and will never arrive at your home.
December 13th, 2008 at 2:43 am
I just “ordered” a replacement white carafe as well… my order status says “In the warehouse” – after reading this i’m a bit worried this is all a farce. ack. Has anyone here had a white carafe delivered successfully from Melitta recently?
Thanks!
December 14th, 2008 at 3:44 pm
Where can I actually buy this MEMB1B machine…can’t seem to find one aywhere??
December 19th, 2008 at 12:11 am
After reading the comments above, I called Fox International and ordered a MEMB1B Mill and Brew coffeemaker(yes, they had one in stock) and received it in under two weeks.
I also ordered some filter baskets, and they said they would ship those in 4 – 6 weeks.
December 19th, 2008 at 8:03 am
I love my coffee maker but broke the carafe, just like so many other people. It took some doing, but I ordered it off the web, cant remember from where. It was expensive. All the replacement carafs at Walmart, Target etc. didnt seem to fit my Mellita. What a conspiracy!
Good luck to all who need a replacement.
kp in Hawaii
December 23rd, 2008 at 2:20 am
By the way, I ordered a replacement white carafe off the melitta site – and just received it today! So they do still have white ones, for 9.99, in stock and shipping!
December 24th, 2008 at 5:09 pm
I just called the number for Melita, I was informed that they no longer make the carafe for this unit. When I tried to ask where I could find a suitable one that would fit the lady hung up on me! DON’T BUY THIS UNIT!!!
December 26th, 2008 at 3:12 pm
I also called Mellita and was told that my carafe was irreplaceable and I was out of luck. I was able to order the white carafe from the website (no one on the phone seemed to know anything about this) so although it doesn’t match, my machine is still functional. It cost me around $16, including shipping, and arrived in four days.
January 4th, 2009 at 7:06 pm
I have a new black carafe, from a defective unit they wouldn’t take back. I just listed it on ebay for $1.00 plus shipping at auction or $15 buy it now. Email me through ebay, and you can have the filter basket assembly too. The basket has 2 tiny holes, where the screening was installed crooked, but it may be able to be fixed.
January 7th, 2009 at 7:31 am
Just checked back and found where could download manual for my Melitta. Thanks Mike Hedrick! Also, I have a black machine, didn’t have and couldn’t find carafe anywhere; found a white one at unclaimed baggage store in Scottsboro, AL, doesn’t match but, works great.
January 10th, 2009 at 4:12 pm
Does anyone know if the filter basket for a MEMB1B is the same as the one for a MEMB1 Mill and Brew?
thanks,
Terry
January 14th, 2009 at 4:30 pm
I contacted Melitta directly at their 888 customer service number and got my replacement cafafe. The 800 contact number in my MEMB MSN direct manual is WORTHLESS. After several months telling me the carafe was on back-order, they finally said it was discontinued and not available. I understand both carafe and filter basket are interchangeable on the MEMB models.
January 14th, 2009 at 4:31 pm
I got the replacement carafe in about a week.
January 14th, 2009 at 4:32 pm
Mine is black.
January 15th, 2009 at 6:32 am
We need a Melitta carafe. The quality of the material that it was made from is of course fragile but one the scale of fragility it is toooo fragile. I question whether this would pass any consumer reports test. Based on what I’ve read I expect the Melitta people to be unemployed and out of business due to their customer no service….disappointed and disgusted.
January 23rd, 2009 at 4:22 pm
FYI – I was just informed that the carafe is no longer being produced for the MEMB1 model. Customer service also informed me that there is no suggestion for an alternate replacement available. So wasteful to have to throw out the machine and get a new one.
January 23rd, 2009 at 4:28 pm
After reading back in the posts – I realized that I might try to call Meritta direct. They said that they DO have the carafe but it is only available in white.
January 28th, 2009 at 6:27 pm
Like most of you, I need a black replacement carafe for the MEMB model. (Mine broke after 2 years). I called both the 800 number in the manual and the 888 number Cal suggested. Both places tell me they are no longer available EXCEPT in white. May suck it up and get a white one because I love the machine and invested $25 about a year ago for a second grinding/brewing basket.
January 29th, 2009 at 5:19 pm
I decided to call the 888 number, order the white replacement carafe, and switch out the hardware from my broken black one (it is one screw – should be easy). Melitta waived the S&H changes since they could not supply me with a black carafe!
February 6th, 2009 at 3:01 am
Received my white replacement carafe yesterday. Replaced the handle in about 2 minutes. All is well again!
February 7th, 2009 at 8:18 pm
Thank you all for your informative (and current) posts. I actually have a white unit and today dropped a heavy glass on the carafe and shattered it. Oddly enough, I was going to buy one of these for my office this past week and discovered they are no longer making them. How very sad. I am encouraged that I can get a white carafe however for my own unit. But honestly, who has customer service that isn’t open on Saturday. That is so non-customer oriented. Ahh well, perhaps it won’t be too late to order a white one..I think I’ll order two to be on the safe side!!
March 9th, 2009 at 3:51 pm
I love my Smart Mill and Brew. This is the one that receives MSN info on the screen. Weird thing is with the time change there isnt any button to change the time. I would have thought the MSN signal is where the time is received but apparently not. If you arent familar with this unit, it also gets the weather reports, sunrise and set info and even Amber alerts! And makes great coffee too.
March 13th, 2009 at 10:02 pm
Just tried both melitta website and Fox International. Both say carafe – in white or black – is discontinued no longer available. Found only 1 guy on ebay selling used one.
March 16th, 2009 at 4:29 am
I have a black carafe for the Mill and Brew I’ll sell, who wants it? Please reply here with a method to contact you.
10 cup size…the lid mechanism kept breaking on the grinder so I bought a new coffee maker. It doesn’t make as good of a cup of coffee though!
March 16th, 2009 at 5:06 am
I am interested in your carage. Mine broke today and my husband will be home from Iraq in 10 days. I need it asap! Ha. What are you asking? My zip code is 76906.
March 16th, 2009 at 1:48 pm
i will buy! mmmay123@gmail.com i can mail check or use paypal
March 17th, 2009 at 1:51 am
Cindy, the other lady is going to pass; too far to mail for her! Please email me if you still want it!

March 17th, 2009 at 5:03 am
Let me know what your price is??? Thanks!
March 18th, 2009 at 4:09 am
Your coffee carafe will go in the mail on Mar. 18th Cindy! Glad to help.
S.
March 18th, 2009 at 3:07 pm
Thank you! You saved me from having to buy a new coffee pot unit. I really love this unit SO FAR! Ha.
March 20th, 2009 at 2:10 pm
I am searching for a replacement carafe for my Mill & Brew ME1MSB. Anyone out there have one they would like to sell? I’ve been searching other brands for a replacement carafe that may fit…any advice would be appreciated!
March 20th, 2009 at 2:14 pm
Does anyone know of a stainless steel replacement carafe that would fit the ME1MSB?

I a looking for a carafe also, i just spoke to company and they did indeed stop making coffee makers period, if there is another on to be sold for a 10 cup MEMB1 please let me know
March 28th, 2009 at 2:23 pm
I am also looking for a carafe,MEMB1 in black if anyone has 1 to sell please let me know
April 4th, 2009 at 4:31 pm
If the closing mechanism breaks (mine has twice), just put something heavy on top of it (I use a rock!), but don’t block the vents. My carafe broke too. I am going to try Target. Last time Melitta send me the wrong one after 3 weeks of waiting. I can’t even remember where I ended up finally getting it.
April 8th, 2009 at 7:23 pm
I was just told that carafes are no longer being made for the mill & brew. I’m so angry that I spent so much for this coffeemaker & now it’s useless. Also tried to contact Melitta and it’s impossible. I’ll never buy another Melitta product again.
April 9th, 2009 at 3:25 pm
I also need a replacement carafe for my Mill and Brew. I have been told that I can’t get one from Melitta and I should try Fox International. I have little hope based on these posts. Has anyone recently found a replacement? This has been so frustrating, I will never buy a Melitta product again !!
April 12th, 2009 at 7:01 am
I need a new lid for the melitta – we’ve been using a bag of rice to keep it closed for years but the lid has now broken in half. Any suggestions?
April 13th, 2009 at 5:45 am
After a fruitless search to find a generic replacement carafe and not finding any available through an individual seller, I contacted Melitta directly and was persistent. I spoke with a supervisor in Consumer Relations who patiently listened to my rant and ensured me that she would resolve my complaint. She kindly explained to me that the manufacturer of the Smart Mill & Brew machine was acquired by a third party (not something that Melitta could control). Thus, these are “discontinued” models and the inventory for replacement parts is no longer available to the customer service reps who answer the 800# lines. I was thrilled that this supervisor went out of her way to help me and actually located a replacement carafe. If you love your Mill & Brew machine as much as I do, persistence pays off. It is unfortunate that the manufacturers service the warranty…not Melitta; and the Applica/Fox International customer service is one of the worst that I’ve ever had to deal with. I have been educated through this process and will definitely be on the lookout for the manufacturer name and avoid Applica/Fox International products in the future.
April 15th, 2009 at 6:31 pm
For all parts for your Melitta coffee makers and other brands, call Fox International, 1-800-738-0245. I needed a new basket and they are sending it.
April 17th, 2009 at 12:17 am
I called Fox Int’l and for the 3rd time they tell me the basket part#30640 is on back order. I told them someone ordered one yesterday and they wouldn’t believe me. If it didn’t make such good coffee I would chuck this thing in a minute.
April 17th, 2009 at 12:59 am
My sincere apologies for being misleading. Yes I did call Fox Int’l and Yes I did order the basket, I failed to mentioned it IS on back order. I also wrote to the CEO of Melitta and I am pasting the letter response I received back about the Melitta Mill & Brew which so many LOVE, including myself.
Dear Ms. XXXXXXXX:
Thank you for your e-mail. I sincerely appreciate your taking the time to contact me.
Regarding the Mill ‘N Brew, I agree – this a wonderful coffeemaker – and a great value. In fact, this is the machine I have at home to grind and brew my coffee.
That said, the coffeemaker business is a tough business – a very tough business – as development costs are high, lead times are long, consumer demand is difficult to predict and changes quickly, and retail margins are slim (at best!) given the pricing pressure from major US retailers.
Needless to say, we made a decision a number of years ago to focus our efforts on our coffee filter and coffee operations – and we closed our coffee maker production facility in Texas. At that time, we signed a licensing arrangement with another company to manufacture and sell Melitta quality units under our brand name.
Although this relationship worked well for a number of years – and produced such successes as the Melitta Mill ‘N Brew, the “Take 2”( a Consumer Reports Best Buy), and a host of other excellent machines — this is a tough business as I said. Although our partner enjoyed success with the Melitta line, in the end they had problems in their other small appliance businesses – and they ultimately declared bankruptcy and were acquired.
We are currently working with a new company on a replacement line of coffeemakers – but regrettably will not have much to offer for the next 10 months – as the new line is developed.
We regret any inconvenience that this has caused – and we appreciate your loyalty.
We are excited about the new machines in development – and I personally think they will set a new standard for quality and convenience – but not soon enough for you or for me!
Thank you for your support. I wish I had better news – but this is what happened.
Best Regards,
xxxxxx xxxxx
April 18th, 2009 at 4:43 pm
I am please to annouce that I contact Melitta and they promised to send me out a carafe. I will let you know the outcome
April 21st, 2009 at 7:37 pm
I received my carafe from Melitta today. I e-mailed Marty Miller the president of Melitta and his assistant told me they have a few for emergency and was nice enough to send me one. The e-mail address for their president is on their website
May 6th, 2009 at 3:21 pm
Turn your coffee maker over for a 1-800 # to talk live about replacement parts!
May 23rd, 2009 at 10:18 pm
The screen in my filter basket was tearing away from the plastic, so I tried looking for a replacement with no luck. I LOVE the coffee the machine makes, but hated the grounds that were leaking through. I was afraid I would have to chuck it, but then my clever boyfriend figured out how to fix it! He carefully used a soldering iron to melt the plastic in the area next to the screen and reattached it! It works great now!
June 8th, 2009 at 11:31 pm
I have a replacement carafe and grinder basket available for this coffee machine. Loved it, but I’ve had duck tape holding the top down on mine for too long and have decided to finally break down and get a new one. Drop me a note if you need either the carafe, filter/grinder basket and top or both.
June 9th, 2009 at 2:44 am
I’m interested in the grinder basket. Are the screens completely attached (not pulling away from the plastic)? How much do you want for the grinder basket only?
June 9th, 2009 at 7:04 pm
I really could use it my carafe is broken
June 9th, 2009 at 10:30 pm
Hi Anj,
I would love to purchase the grinder basket and carafe from you. Please reply so I know what the cost is. For shipping purposes, my ZIP is 75024. Thanks!
June 13th, 2009 at 1:31 am
I also have a cracked carafe -live in FL if that makes any diff for shipping. I’m in 33615 for ship est.
June 13th, 2009 at 10:12 pm
If you haven’t sold the grinder basket please let me know. I’m in Arizona.
June 16th, 2009 at 12:05 am
Wish I had enough to go around… I know how frustrating this is, I had to buy a new carafe and grinder basket too! I would prefer to ship both to one person, so the first interested party to email me and send payment takes it! I would take $20 for the carafe and basket plus $10 to ship via UPS so it would be insured. Please email me directly at anjmarie30@hotmail.com for Paypal information. For peace-of-mind, I have 100% positive feedback on ebay… user id is anjamatanj.
June 17th, 2009 at 1:46 am
I need the grinder/brew basket for the Melitta Grind and Brew. Model # MEMB1. Thanks for your help.
June 17th, 2009 at 4:43 pm
Haven’t heard from anyone, and I’d really like to get this stuff shipped off. I’m willing to split the items up and will accept the best offer. Thanks!
June 20th, 2009 at 4:05 pm
I’m going to list the grinder basket and carafes on ebay if anyone is interested, check there.
June 23rd, 2009 at 6:39 am
I just ordered the Mr. Coffee 10-cup Coffee Carafe
Model #ESD13E from the Gourmet Depot Co (online). Not sure if it is actually in stock or if it will fit, but I’m remaining hopeful until it gets here. I’m ready to brew a normal cup of coffee made with fresh ground beans on my MEMB1B (haven’t been able to use it since I broke the carafe a couple of days ago). I’ll post results later. Fingers are crossed
June 24th, 2009 at 12:17 am
As of 6/23/09, the Mr. Coffee 10-cup carafe #ESD13E is on backorder…2-3 weeks…?
June 24th, 2009 at 8:26 pm
Thanks to this site I read that the Mr. Coffee 12 cup Decanter (not carafe) would fit. I purchased it at Target for $16, and it works fine.
June 26th, 2009 at 6:11 am
Cool – off to Target tomorrow… Had a very nice chat with a woman at Fox International this morning who tried to be helpful, but of course they have none available anywhere.
June 27th, 2009 at 5:51 am
Purchased the 12 cup Mr. Coffee decanter at Target – it doesn’t fit. Maybe the carafe is right instead of the decanter (it’s a bit shorter)
June 27th, 2009 at 6:40 pm
For those of you getting the Mr Coffee replacement carafe for the mill and brew. The one that fits is the model PLD-12. there are actually two models of the decanter and the other one (I don’t remember the model number because I returned it) does NOT fit. But PLD-12 works fine! Yay – not a waste of a good coffee brewer.

Hello, If you have recently found the replacement carafe for Melitta MEMB1B, black, please let me know. I love my coffee made in this mill and brew model, but I am getting frustrated. Do any of the universal carafes work? Thanks for your help!

Many thanks to bryan!!! You saved Melitta Mill and Brew from the trash heap.
A Mr. Coffee Replacement Decanter which fits [tightly] our Melitta Mill and Brew is:
Mr. Coffee Replacement Decanter with “PLD12″ on the bottom left corner of the top and sides of the box and which states that it fits:
“Mr. Coffee: CG, DR,NC,PL, RM, TF, and VB 12-CUP SERIES SUNBEAM 6000 12 CUP SERIES.”
It is a snug fit at least st first. When you put the decanter on the coffeemaker be sure you push it all the way on so that the bottom of the pot fits squarely and evenly into the bottom heating unit. If it is even slightly off center brewed coffee will run off the top and spill onto the heating unit and counter. If this begins to happen, CAREFULLY push the decanter into the coffee maker.
Be careful when you remove the decanter. Hold the coffee maker while you pull the decanter out by the handle.
Using this decanter on the Mill & Brew works well but is not a job for a child or careless teen or a person with a weak or unsteday grip.

Hello frustrated coffee lovers. I also am frustrated by not being able to find a mill and brew replacement carafe. Anybody selling?
July 31st, 2009 at 3:08 am
I want to buy one of these machines after reading all the comments and dedications to find a new carafe. I have the Cuisonart Grind and Brew and it doesn’t get hot enough and it spills everywhere.

I too am looking for a replacement pot for the Mill & Brew. This is ridiculous that it is so HARD to find. Any help??

I am looking for a top latch…any info? Thanks.

You all might want to check out your GoodWill Stores. I found what appears to be a very little used Melitta Mill and Brew for only $7.00. I works great. Parts are almost impossible to find now.

Melitta has ditched Fox-International as a distributor and will have mill and brew baskets and carafes at the end of Aug. 09 per Donna Gray (dgray@melitta.com) Please contact her directly with any requests.

I have been so frustrated with the mill and brew. I own 3 and now am down to 1 complete. As for the top latch we sit a box of bisquick on it! I would love basjkets is out there for the thermal mill and brew! Thanks

We have replaced 3 Militta’s in the past year under warranty. Each time, the model we had is no longer being made, and each time, a cheaper and cheaper model is sent as a replacement.
It appears that as a part of their marketing plan, is to force customers into buying a whole new machine.
Good old Mr. Coffee uses almost the same style pot for years that work on different Mr C makers. And they stand behind their product, which works just as well for about half the price.
Customer service will either make or break companies in this economy.

I thought that “misery loves company” but somehow knowing there are many others on the same quest for the elusive replacement carafe hasn’t assuaged my frustration with the lack of customer service from Melitta!
I do have one helpful tip though, the latch that holds the top down (so the machine will grind) broke a few months after getting the machine (badly designed) so I used Mighty Putty to glue a strip of black Velcro on the side of the basket housing & another on the lid & it’s worked great! I’ve even put the housing through the dishwasher several times & it’s still holding.
Tomorrow I’m going to follow Larry Hannon’s suggestion & contact Donna Gray……wish me luck!

I have a helpful tip on how to repair the badly designed latch that holds the top down so the machine will grind. I used Mighty Putty to glue a strip of black Velcro on the side of the basket housing & another on the lid. When you start the machine just close the lid by connecting the two strips & it works great! I’ve even put the housing through the dishwasher several times & it’s still holding.

I have a helpful tip on how to repair the badly designed latch that holds the top down so the machine will grind. I used a waterproof putty to glue a strip of black “hook & loop” on the side of the basket housing & another on the lid. When you start the machine just close the lid by connecting the two strips & it works great!

I am sooo ANGRY.. It was like 4-5 yrs ago I got my mill and grind. My son broke the paper thin glass. Ive looked everywhere high and low, and everywhere in between for a new one. Ive asked countless ppl and not many ppl heard of them. its been 3 yrs since ive had that perfect cup of coffee in the morning.. I know if anyone is reading this that you feel what im feeling. If you have no clue how I feel then you must hate ur mill and brew. If thats the case I’d like to buy a black one that WORKS.. Ive bought other coffee makers and its NOT the same.. PLEASE GET AHOLD OF ME HERE..!!! THANK-YOU

TO DATHAN:Hi … My husband & I just laid to rest our Mill & Brew a week ago. We had ours for 4 yrs. I purchased xtra parts, basket, carafe, etc. JUST in case as we so enjoyed our coffee from this magnificent machine.Something happened under the blades, it melted. Then coffee was leaking from that side panel all over our counters. My husband is still going to try to fix it with an O ring. The ceo of Melitta, after me writing him, told me they are no longer making this machine, that SUPPOSEDLY they were desiging a new on for 2010? Also, our basket tore on the metal mesh thank goodness i had aback up at the time, & tried to order another one which Melitta stated was on back order. Took my card # havent heard back for over 6 mos??? But we did purchase another model from another comapany & we looked around a lot. We paid a little more but it was worth it. It’s Cuisinart Grind & Brew DGB625 series….TOTALY IN LOVE W/IT. GREAT COFFEE!! STRONG MACHINE. You really must check it out online. We went thru Amazon.com as they always find the best prices & fast delivery. I will write again in a few months to let u know how it’s going. From the reviews I’ve read & also my son couldn’t get parts for his Mellitta & also owns this same Cuisinart for 5 mos now & HE LOVES IT. Check it out…Good luck
August 29th, 2009 at 4:18 pm
P.S. DATHAN: I meant to write that my son also HAD a Melitta and couldn’t get parts for his so he PURCHASED this Cuisinart that I speak of.
August 29th, 2009 at 5:24 pm
I was able to call 1-800-Melitta and they have the grinder/filter basket in stock. I ordered 2 (at $6.50 each) and it was $19.95 total w/ shipping.

Thank you Sherry.. IM SO SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS, I FEEL FOR YOU…
Im now looking for the new Mill Grind. It says online that target has it but, when i look at Targets website there is nothing. Im not gonna give up my search for my “Melitta mill & Brew” Sherry the Cuisinart you talk about how is it on clean up? I got spoiled on the easiness of the Melitta!! I think ive been on every site that has anything to do with Melitta. I think now i could just about find anything. I might just get a basket case one and start from ground zero…lol
August 31st, 2009 at 10:44 pm
Hooray!!! 2 replacement coffee pots arrived today…$9.99 each plus $6.95 s&h….$26.93 total. Today is a great day

I just purchased a black 12-cup replacement carafe pot for my Melitta Mill & Brew. I’d love to have a NEW one, but it’s impossible to find one on any website. I might look at the Cuisinart also.
September 2nd, 2009 at 7:00 am
Cuisinart Grind & Brew DGB625 I TELL YOU THIS IS A GREAT MACHINE!! the grinder is separte, (where you put your beans), SO no washing & after it grinds it shutes the coffee litteral out a shute into the basket. DANG WHAT A GREAT CUP OF COFFEE!! AND u have your choice of using the basket OR paper filters…AND IT MAKES 12 CUPS and you can adjust it easily to brew lesser amounts…the grinder is factory preset for the best speed and finess of the grind BUT you can change it. Yes, the basket is separate from the grinder BUT in the melitta we were risning out that basket/grinder and moisture was in there SO i’m wondering if that’s why ours finally burned out??? I will keep you informed as time goes on but so far everything is an A+ on this Cuisinart Grind & Brew DGB625 !!!!
September 17th, 2009 at 5:08 pm
I need the brew basket incl. grinder plus the grinder lid for model # memb1

My machine stopped grinding. Haven’t used it for months. Brews, but won’t grind. Anyone know if there is a reset button somewhere? After reading all these comments, I’ll treat my carafe with great care.
