Salton Melitta Mill & Brew Coffeemaker

Pros: No paper filters. Go from whole bean to great tasting coffee quickly.
Cons: none

I am a heavy coffee drinker. My parents were so I suppose that's why. I like a durable coffee pot that I know will last awhile. I like easy to clean and not so many features. The main feature I always go for is the one that allows you to set the timer...

Pros: Timer/clock, easy to clean, easy to use, cheaper than other units, grinds the beans internally.
Cons: Not a cone filter, one latch broke.

Cons: needs more coffee. Can't store beans in the grinder. Filter can be damaged.

After years of using a $12 Proctor-Silex auto drip coffeemaker, I decided earlier this year (in February) that it was time to upgrade. I looked at coffeemakers for 2 months, trying to find one that looked stylish, and had a cone-shaped filter, etc etc. ...

Cons: doesn't hold enough grounds/beans to make a full pot of good strong coffee

Cons: Challenging to assemble/clean, grinds too finely, small capacity filter, shuts off quickly, noisy

Pros: Freshest coffee ever! Attractive, well-made unit.
Cons: Heat turns off after one hour, tall unit

Cons: none so far

Cons: Lefties will need to use right hand when filling machine with water.

For Christmas, Santa brought me the Krups Grind and Brew coffee maker. I used that everyday for about three weeks but it began to annoy me as each additional morning passed and I would make another pot of coffee. This coffee maker is very annoying to...

Pros: No filters to buy. Programmable. Ease of use. Makes a truly fresh cup of coffee.
Cons: Noisy grinder...especially first thing in the morning. Clean up.

I received the Melitta Mill & Brew as a Christmas gift and have used it for 5 days in a row at this writing. What I love the most about this coffee maker is that you can program it the night before to grind your coffee beans and make a truly fresh pot...

Pros: Good value: not a bother to clean, relatively cheap, and makes good coffee.
Cons: No battery backup so lose time settings if any power outage.

I am the only coffee drinker in our house and for many years have made myself one or two cups of instant (Nescafe Classico which is "decent" for instant coffee). I would only drag out the coffemaker at holidays for a full pot when people were over. Last ...

Cons: Somewhat non-logical controls, 60 minute (non-selectable) warmer shut off

I have had my Melitta for a little over a year now (Christmas gift to myself in 2001). I had first learned of this genre of milling and brewing coffee makers seeing another brand at a local dept store for about $100. After reading about the other maker...
