Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Melitta MEMB10TB Mill & Brew Coffeemaker

Customer Review: Truly, it's the best coffee maker in the world today
Summary: 5 Stars

We've bought Krups for years - replacing a model about every year. We have tried Cuisinarts, all of which were bad experiences. Have tried Mr. Coffees, which will make decent coffee, but rarely what we'd call a great cup. So we always returned to Krups. After our last Krups began to fail, we bought tried another new Mr. Coffee which was TERRIBLE, we returned it, and we began to search the net for something better - we limited our search to about [$$$] when we found this Melitta. Capresso - Kitchenaid - more Krups - a few European brands... I was set to try the Kitchenaid when I read the reviews by users, and I backed away from it.

I'd tried auto-grind pots before by Cuisinart and one other brand (can't remember) and they were a mess and made weak coffee, so I was reluctant - even more so when I couldn't find a Melitta in our local stores. But we decided to go for it, based on high reviews on the net, and ordered the MEMB10TB for home (also one of the non-electric models for our yacht).

Both pots arrived in a huge box less than a week after placing the order (interestingly - we were charged [$$$] shipping, about 1/3 of the actual costs to ship).

The Mill & Brew coffee maker was easier to operate than I could imagine. Simpler/better organized controls than any of our previous coffeemakers. The grinder is in basket that the water drips through - very simple design. The front water level brewer is easy to see and we fill it from the faucet sprayer.

It couldn't be easier to use. Fill the water, dump in the beans, and hit on. It immediately grinds, pumps the water through, and it truly is the best coffee we've ever made at home.

Further, the basket is easily emptied and requires no filter. In previous coffee pots that never worked - the baskets always let too much coffee grounds into the brewed coffee - but on the Melitta it works. No grounds - perfect cup.

The time the coffee grinds is presettable by the user - we like strong coffee so we set ours at #6. The range is from 1 (weak) to 7 (strong) and is preset to 4.

We don't use more coffee than in the past - about the same amount is used. After it's brewed (or before the next pot is made), we empty the beans by rinsing under faucet down sink/disposal, and place it back in the coffee maker.

Further, the stainless steel carafe is nicely done. It's attractive, and it keeps the coffee hot for hours.

Finally, it's very well made. Everything fits together nicely - feels solid & well built. Cannot imagine why something like it hasn't come out before. In fact, at [$$$] it'd still be a bargain.

So far so good - now we just have to see how long it survives. But if I were to buy a coffee maker for a friend, there's no doubt in my mind - this MEMB10TB is the one I'd get.

At this time, based on our past experiences, after several weeks of internet searching & reading owner reviews, and the one we're now using, MEMB10TB is the best coffee maker in the world.
