Looking to purchase a assembly lid for my mill and brew model memb1b. This is the lid on the top of the coffee maker held down with 2 screws and swings down to lock down the grinding basket. The little plastic lock is broken on ours.

Oh my– we’re looking for a replacement carafe. We didn’t break it– just has a warped lid from putting in dishwasher. Guess we’ll keep on using it. Got a Keurig for Christmas, but keeping the Melita for larger groups.

I have the Mill & Brew (in black) and it is in fine working order. I had to buy a replacement pot a couple years back as the original broke, but the replacement is from Melita and the same color as the machine. I also have the mesh baskets for grinding/filtering the coffee. The larger plastic piece that holds the mesh basket still fits on the machine though where you push to remove it one of the buttons is a bit damaged. I’m offering it for sale to anyone who might be local to me. I live in Glassboro (Southern NJ). If you’re interested please contact me via email (kate @ njgeo.org) and we can discuss details further.

I have some replacement parts to the Melitta 10cup Mill & Brew for whomever wants them. We reluctantly threw out the main machine out today, after many years of really, really good coffee. The grinder motor finally gave out and we just got tired of trying to find replacement parts. We bought a Saeco Grinder and Brewer, which we also love, and accept the fact that we won’t be able to use flavored beans in it.

The first person to email us at gellerman55 @ gmail.com can have our parts:

1. a Mr. Coffee carafe that fits, with the plastic handle and top, plus another carafe without the plastic parts as an extra to have on hand

2. the outer plastic basket that holds the inner mesh baskethttp://www.talkaboutcoffee.com/wp-admin/edit-comments.php#comments-form

3. the inner mesh basket with its lid.

I’m sending it all out as a single package to the first address I receive. I don’t want any cash, but you will owe someone a good deed…you know, the pay-it-forward principle.

I am also looking for a caraffe for my Mill & Brew by Melitta, which I love. Please let me know if anyone has one to purchase, white or black. Loretta Magrino

I may be interested in buying the pot. What color is it?

Let me know if anyone has that part (Mill/Brew basket, I believe), or… wants to buy the rest of the machine (and clean pot).

My wife bought our Mill & Brew MEMB1W YEARS ago on clearance… I went to use it only to find that the grinder basket is…well… not there. So, I have a pristine coffee maker that is useless. Any suggestions from anyone? Happy Thanksgiving, by the way!

Can anyone suggest a worthy replacement for this coffee maker? Mine died few days ago and I’m lost in all the different options.

I just need something that makes great coffee, cost less than $100 and does not make a mess of my counter top.

Any help?

I miss my Smart Mill and Brew. The MSN feed was so handy….I am now using my much older…Mill and Brew that I saved for parts right now. I wrote the manufacturer and they responded within 24hrs that they no longer make that model and therefore dont sell the parts to repair it.I have been checking Ebay and would love to buy another one….anyone who would like to sell me theirs should post!

Thanks, but I’ve called Melitta twice and they have no carafes that fit the Mill & Brew. However, I found another forum that stated that older, out of date Mr. Coffee carafes do fit; i.e., ESD12 (white) and ESD13 (black). I read that if you use the top from the original Mill & Brew carafe, you could still use the pause & pour feature. If you don’t have the original top, the carafe still fits fine! I just ordered one and I’ll let everyone know when I receive it. Maybe there’s hope afterall for those of us who just need the carafe! Thanks.

If any of you are looking for a carafe, I found a couple people advising that the Mr. Coffee ESD12 (white) and Mr. Coffee ESD13 (black) carafes are an excellent fit especially if you have the old top from your Mill & Brew. The new Mr. Coffee carafes don’t fit. I just ordered one from a website and I’ll let you know how it fits when I get it this week. There may be hope afterall!! By the way, Melitta is of no help at all. Thanks.

I looked at the beginning of all the posts and I will look into the Mr Coffee PLD12 and one for all replacement at Target for $13.99 and let you all know if it fits.

Does anyone have a replacement carafe or have any information on where to get one that would fit the Melitta Mill & Brew? I need a MEMB1. I have a broken black carafe but would use any color to get the Melitta back in my life each morning! Help!

Hi again. I enjoy reading these posts. It’s like people have these great old collectable cars and just won’t part with them so they are scrambling for parts….I was able to find a replacement brew basket for my machine, which is actually a Cooks Essentials brand with a steel thermal caraffe. They have a few at Melitta (1-888-635 44882). I called yesterday and they said they would call back later that day. I called again this morning and they said they had a few in stock but weren’t making them any more. They also had my name and information from two years ago when I ordered one and they said they were limiting orders to one, but since it had been so long I could order one more. (whew!!) My basket actually stripped out on the bottom where it makes contact with the grinder motor. I had the original one that I had glued the screen on and am using that until the new one arrives. I think the price was around $13, and I’m not sure if that includes shipping but at this stage it’s a bargain. As far as the repairing the lid on the grinding mechanism (which apparently always fails on these units) I simply screwed in a painted flat head screw which still catches on the main body. I think I have replaced the screw once (It rusted out), this repair has worked for years. Good luck all!

Hi, this coffee maker was also marketed by QVC under their Cooks Essentials brand. It was called Mill and Drip. You might search on eBay under that name to find your steel carafe.

Hi all. I bought my Mill and Brew several years ago on ebay and have used it daily. I’ve replaced the basket once and have modified the lid to stay closed over the basket. I haven’t been able to find one of the stainless steel carafes though. Does anyone know of a source?
