Pros:
Easy to clean and coffee takes great |

| Cons:
auto shut off after 1 hour, to soon Very well designed Coffee maker and Grinder in one. Up side of this coffee maker is the ease in cleaning the build in filter with the grinding blade. I've owned a Cuisinart with build in grinder and spent most of my time cleaning all the different chambers, more of a hassle than it was worth. This Melitta Mill & Brew is fabulous to clean and use. Down side is timer only last an hour then turns self off. But well worth the taste of the coffee and convenience. I give this a five star rating all the way.

parts break and are not replaceable I am appalled that parts are no longer available for this item. I have one, I have loved it but the locking mechanism breaks and I now have to tape it shut since I can no longer buy a new lid!!!

Pros:
Great Coffee, Great Price |
|
|

| Cons:
Coffee isnt hot enough I have found I have to fill coffee maker with hot water so that it will brew a hot cup of coffee. Then the warming plate shuts off in what seems to me to be a very short time. So I then have to set it to brew without grinding, to turn the warming plate back on. Other than that, its a GREAT machine, no other problems. I am hoping its just a fluke, and am going to try buying another one and keep this for back up. If it does the same thing, I will repost. Its about 2 years old, but I dont remember it ever brewing very hot coffee. Even visitors have commented on it not being hot.

Pros:
Grinds the coffee and makes a great pot of coffee |
|
|

Cons:
Short holding time - 1 hr. too short! This coffeemaker makes a great pot of coffee and is pretty easy to clean - especially compared to how difficult it is to "clean out/empty" the individual coffee grinder in the separate units.
I cut back on the amount of coffee - use 3 coffee measures (not the one that comes with this coffee maker) and that is very flavorful for the 10 cup amount (full). The instructions call for more but our tastes were satisfied with less.
It's a little tricky to assemble the filter/mill holding compartment the first few times but with practice and paying attention - works great. I also called customer service to solve a small problem and they were most helpful.
Melitta needs to make the auto turn off time at least 2 hours. I think they make it short to make sure the flavor holds up - and the coffee is quite flavorful. I replaced a Bunn coffee maker (to get the auto turn off and grind feature) and I thought it made a great cup - this is better. The mill and grind feature is much better than the more expensive Cuisinart - bought one of those and sent it back!
Good price, too.

Pros:
Very well designed, makes great coffee, programable |
|
|
|
| Cons:
It's a little tempermental I have owned my Grind & Brew for around five years and it has been well worth the purchase price. Compared to the Toshiba that cost almost twice as much, it has proven to be a superior machine. It makes an excellent cup of coffee and is very well designed. I replaced the brew basket after about three years and with the Toshiba the brew basket only lasted about a year. The only issue that I've had with it is at times it is rather tempermental, closing the lid and getting it to work, due to the fact that at times the basket isn't setting exactly in the right place to get the switch to work. Every once in a while I have to take the basket out, turn the mill blade and put the basket back in to get it to work. But, then I've been using it for around five years. This morning something broke on the latch that holds the lid closed, so I guess it's time to get a new one.

Pros:
can adjust coffee grind for weaker or stronger brew |
|
|
|
| Cons:
basket an be a bit difficult to settle properly - minor I have used my Mill and brew for over five years and have been completely satisfied. A friend of mine bought the Cusinart grind and brew and prefers my coffee over what he can make. There is no strength adjustment with the Cusinart.

None! This is the best coffee maker on the market. Coffee is always fresh ground. I am buying another in case they discontinue the model! Can't live without it!
