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.

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.
Mine is black.
I got the replacement carafe in about a week.
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.
Does anyone know if the filter basket for a MEMB1B is the same as the one for a MEMB1 Mill and Brew?
thanks,
Terry
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.
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.
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.
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!!!
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! :)
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.

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.
Where can I actually buy this MEMB1B machine…can’t seem to find one aywhere??
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!
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.
Where can you buy a basket for this machine?

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!
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
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.
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.
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.
For a copy of the instruction manual for the Melitta Mill & Brew go to:

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.
Found a product listing at Gourmet Depot, but it’s also on backorder. Ack!

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. : )
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!
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.
Is the replacement carafe at Target a Mellita product? If not, what is the make & model number?
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.
I called the 1800 number today 1-800-233-9054. They are still on back order.
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
Just bought a ME1MSB, kept the basket and carafe from my old MEMB1B (same parts). Ummm… do I hear any offers? lol
Don’t hold your breath waiting. We ordered one the beginning of june and still have not received it.
Have been looking for a carafe for over two months. No luck. Ours broken in transit and they were to replace. Still waiting.
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.
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!
I found a 10 cup replacement carafe at Target for $9.99.
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.
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.
ALSO NEED REPLACEMENT CARAFE GETTING MAD MAY NOT BUY ANOTHER MELITTA PRODUCT
I need an instruction manual
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.
