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.

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.

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.
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)
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.
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.
As of 6/23/09, the Mr. Coffee 10-cup carafe #ESD13E is on backorder…2-3 weeks…?
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 :)
I’m going to list the grinder basket and carafes on ebay if anyone is interested, check there. :)
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!
I need the grinder/brew basket for the Melitta Grind and Brew. Model # MEMB1. Thanks for your help.
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.
If you haven’t sold the grinder basket please let me know. I’m in Arizona.
I also have a cracked carafe -live in FL if that makes any diff for shipping. I’m in 33615 for ship est.
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!
I really could use it my carafe is broken
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?
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.
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!
Turn your coffee maker over for a 1-800 # to talk live about replacement parts!
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
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
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.
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 – œ this a wonderful coffeemaker – œ 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 – œ a very tough business – œ 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 – œ 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 – œ 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 – œ and they ultimately declared bankruptcy and were acquired.
We are currently working with a new company on a replacement line of coffeemakers – œ but regrettably will not have much to offer for the next 10 months – œ as the new line is developed.
We regret any inconvenience that this has caused – œ and we appreciate your loyalty.
We are excited about the new machines in development – œ and I personally think they will set a new standard for quality and convenience – œ but not soon enough for you or for me!
Thank you for your support. I wish I had better news – œ but this is what happened.
Best Regards,
xxxxxx xxxxx
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.
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.
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?
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 !!
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.
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.
I am also looking for a carafe,MEMB1 in black if anyone has 1 to sell please let me know
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
d-oh! I didn’t even think to check Craig’s List. Thanks so much, S.

Does anyone know of a stainless steel replacement carafe that would fit the ME1MSB?
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!
Thank you! You saved me from having to buy a new coffee pot unit. I really love this unit SO FAR! Ha.
Your coffee carafe will go in the mail on Mar. 18th Cindy! Glad to help.
S.
Let me know what your price is” Thanks!
Cindy, the other lady is going to pass; too far to mail for her! Please email me if you still want it!
S.
i will buy! mmmay123@gmail.com i can mail check or use paypal
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.
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!
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.
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.
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!!
Received my white replacement carafe yesterday. Replaced the handle in about 2 minutes. All is well again!
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!
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.
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.
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.
