I looked at several different grind and brew brands. Others reviews led me to Melita rather than Cuisinart. We love our new Melita. It takes up a LOT less space than the other brands as well. Can't beat the price either.

Finally, I am able to enjoy a decent pot of coffee!!! We got a new grind and brew mr. coffee for christmas and it STINKS on ice! It was so bad it didn't even wet all the grounds, we sent it back after 3 different machines were sent to us and tried out we gave up. The weakest coffee ever! HOWEVER, this Melitta pot is fantastic. I can choose how strong I want my coffee!!!! I love that. I like strong, good coffee. It is much quieter than the other. Very simple to work the machine and clean up is NOT as bad as some of the reviews mentioned. I really am so pleased with this. The quality is excellent. I highly recommend it to any coffee lover out there looking to invest in a grind and brew machine. The one down side (and I can live with this) is that it is only 10 cup capacity not 12..... I couldn't be happier!!!!! Thanks to all the reviews! This is how I untimately made my decision!

I am a coffee snob. For years I would never even consider drinking coffee that was made at home, I wanted freshly ground and no mess. I finally went looking for the perfect machine that would grind and brew without having to spend 30 minutes cleaning up afterwards and bought this item. That was 3 years ago and my coffeepot is still going strong and makes the perfect cup each time with very little mess. This maker is easy to clean and much quieter than using a regular grinder. I have recommended this to everyone I know and will continue to do so!

Don't waste your money on the fancy Cuisinart grind and brew. While it looks snazzy, this Mellita out performs it at a better price and lasts longer also. Add the benefit of being able to select your grind ( Cuisinart doesnt let you) and less parts to clean, this one wins hands down!

My son had this coffee maker. I tried it and found it made fabulous coffee with great ease of use. I got a wonderful deal and free shipping at your site. I recommended it to a friend who also purchased it through you. I highly recommend it.

Had one before and loved it. The latch broke (as did a couple of other people I know). Still, this one has the best design and is the easiest to use. I actually like the look of this control panel better. The LCD is definitely brighter.

I previously owned a Cuisinart system that offers similar grind and brew options--the Melitta, in my opinion is superior in design. The hopper for the beans is actually also the brewing filter, and it works like a champ. My Cuisinart used to clog where the bean grinder dispensed into a separate filter. The way the Melitta is designed, the grinder IS the FILTER--and it allows me to make better, stronger coffee because it's a deeper filter than my prior brew system. My spouse and I love this coffee maker.

Makes it EASY to brew awesome coffee at home. The best feature is the built in timer that allows you to fill the machine with beans and water, set the time you want to have your freshly ground and brewed coffee ready to go. Set it before you go to bed, and wake up to that wonderful coffee aroma!! Has a permanent metal mesh filter so you never have worry about having paper filters on hand. If I could make this thing perfect I would have it's capacity increased from 10 cups to 15-20, 10 cups is small for entertaining, but its still manageable. I have used this almost daily for about 4 years and have only recently had a small part break on it- it still works though! I will buy another to replace it once this one fully dies, but that may take a while.

Love it but the latch on the coffee reservoir usually breaks off after a couple of years

I bought this coffee maker maybe 6 or 7 years ago. It is perfect, makes great coffee, i would not trade it for any other coffee maker... i love everything about it. Sadly, last week the latch the holds the grinder top, broke, and i wish i could fix it, because i don't want to replace my coffee maker.

We've had this coffee maker a long time. Our best guess has been about 3-5 years and love it. It is easy to clean, easy to use and has been durable. It also makes great coffee. We actually were looking for replacement filter - ours through normal wear-n-tear has ripped a little - if we can't find the part, we'd buy this machine again. Unfortunately, it seems that this product may have been discontinued. If anybody ever wants to get rid of theirs let us know!

This pot makes great coffee and is so easy to use! It is very classy looking. It is so easy to make coffee, even if I forget to set it up the night before, I can make coffee in the morning while half asleep. It's that easy!

My husband had his heart set on a Cuisinart grinder/coffeemaker, but after reading the reviews on the Melitta, I was sold. Our coffeemaker arrived promptly, and we used it that evening. It brews a great cup of coffee, and I especially liked ease of cleanup with the brewbasket, the one-button start, and the relative quietness of the grinder. Other customers have claimed the one drawback with this coffeemaker was a 10-cup pot versus a 12-cup, but a 10-cup quality product beats a 12-cup name-brand disappointment anyday.

This is the best coffeemaker I've ever owned. Brews coffee perfectly & very easy to clean. I would recommend it to all.

We purchased this coffee pot (grind/brew) to replace our "other" pot that was starting to malfunction (parts sticking etc.). So far it's been great....makes a great cup of coffee. I really like that you can choose the coarseness of the grounds. Only disappointment is the glass pot vs. the stainless steel carafe with the "other" pot. Oh, and it's easy to clean...which was a major pain with the "other" pot.

I really have enjoyed this coffee grinder/maker. It is so nice to wake up to fresh brewed coffee each morning. If I had one thing, it would be nice if the grinder were a burr, but not sure how that would be acheived.

I have checked into several automatic coffee makers with the grinder built in, By far this machine is the best value! The coffee is excellent, the machine is easy to clean and simple to use.

This coffee maker makes the best coffee I've ever had - better than Starbucks or Alterra!!! The grinding of the beans right before brewing makes a HUGE difference. I'd highly recommend this machine to anyone who likes a really good cup of coffee! EXCELLENT VALUE!

This is my second one of this coffeemaker. The first one lasted at least 5 or 6 years with daily use. The old one still worked mechanically but the plastic pieces were starting to break off. The new version of this coffeemaker appears to be much more durable (thicker plastic) and in addition the plastic is smoother so it's even easier to clean. I highly recommend this coffeemaker and overstock's price is great, too.

Searched for quite some time to replace our old Black and Decker but virtually every product we considered had reviews ranging from fair to terrible. That is, until we stumbled across this Melitta model. Because the reviews were consistently good to excellent, we decided to purchase. So far, very pleased with this product. Cannot speak to durability after only 3 weeks of use but every other factor is an absolute plus. Excellent coffee and easy to clean. The only minor complaint is that the warming plate only stays on for one hour. We have purchased another to give as a house warming gift.
