What our customer's say!

"Thank R. Johnson -- Wherever You Are Re: Melitta Mill Adjustmt", I was given this Melitta Mill by a friend who only used a few times, as the grind was too coarse. I tried it, and it did, indeed, seem coarser than I desired. Since there was no manual with the coffee mill, I searched the Web, and ended up with R. Johnson's 2005 feedback. I followed his suggested adjustments, and--voila--the grind is now fine and the machine works just great, definitely better than my blade grinder and a lot less than other burr and cone grinders. At the listed price, this is a pretty good deal, even if not as good as mine. Again, thank you R. Johnson of Illinois, wherever you are!

"My first grinder", I've had this burr grinder for over two years now. I was very happy with it for a while, but it soon didn't grind evenly no matter what setting you used. And I soon found out I had to use twice as much coffee bean to make the perfect pot. I had difficulty removing the burr so my husband took the thing apart for me, and we found about a pound of coarsley unevenly ground coffee stuck in the back of the machine! What a waste! We have had unscrew and empty that wasted coffee twice so far. I am looking for a new grinder.

"Don't waste your money", I bought a Melitta burr coffee mill at a kitchen outlet for apparently the regular retail price of about $25. It lasted about a month. The grinding was just ok but it did tend to clog up. I think it put too much stress on the motor to do espresso grinds. Anyway, not an issue now since the motor didn't hold up at all. I am now going to go ahead and buy something that costs more but that I can depend on to last.

"It's all true", everyhting they say about this POS is true. I have two here, if anyone wants one. They don't even make a good paperweight.

"Works Great !", This, so far, is working out fine. Does what it says it does. Dependable. I have used it for 9 months now.

"Some serious flaws", I have owned and used a Salton (they own Melitta Brand now) burr style coffee grinder for over thirty years and have been totally pleased. The only reason I chose to purchase this new one was because all of my other counter top appliances are now black in color, and my old grinder is light and dark brown, so it stands out a bit oddly along side all the others. Getting to the point, I found what I consider to be two serious flaws with the performance of this new grinder.

1. The first problem is that it is at least twice as loud as my old grinder and vibrates strongly. It actually startled me at first and I shut if off thinking it might be out of balance or defective, but I have learned this is normal for this grinder.

2. Secondly, it tends to spray limited amounts of coffee grinds from both sides during the process of grinding (from between the main body and the removeable grinds container). Salton's customer service acknowledged that this was a common problem and would send another lid for the removeable container, but that it probably wouldn't solve the problem. As I stated in my initial email to Melitta, I thought this might be a design flaw, and it turns out that's apparently exactly what it is. If you don't mind the extra cleaning each time you grind, then this isn't a problem.

I consider these issues as very unfortunate because the price, appearance, and performance are all otherwise very good. However, I have chosen to return the new Melitta grinder to my vendor for a refund and keep my old faithful grinder, color coordinated or not..hah!



"This Aint for Yuppies", I've had this for about six months now. I paid $19.99, and for that price bought two, because I don't expect it to last forever. It works just fine, but a person needs to keep in mind that you're not getting a precision instrument ... those cost MUCH more. For my needs, a drip machine, it works just fine, allowing me to buy beans that produce a much better cup of coffee than the canned variety. Yuppies craving espresso look elsewhere.

I've taken it apart and adjusted the grinders, but there's a limit to what can be done. The wheels aren't exactly machined to the closest tolerances, but they're more than adequate for drip machines, with a fair amount of "dust" (espresso sized) thrown in.

In short I'm very pleased.

"Spend more money on a better grinder", This is a good little product, but you get what you pay for.

The grounds from this grinder are not consistent in size. I did get some that were decent, but after brewing, I could see larger chunks after the smaller grounds settled to the bottom of the filter.

I bit the bullet and bought a $90 Capresso Infinity 560 Grinder, and THAT is worth the money. For the same strength, I can use about 20% less beans (which I roast myself). So maybe I'm even saving money.

Grinders NEED to produce consistent grounds... and unfortunately this Melitta did not. Either stay w/ the blade grinder... or go w/ a better one (more $$).

"a waste of money", I bought this as a step up from my 10-year-old Krups blade grinder. It was not an improvement. The Melita locked up after a few weeks' use. I had to take it apart and clean out all of the errant coffee grounds in the motor and wiring to get it to work again. I used it a few more weeks, then the same thing happened. When it WAS working, it clogged up easily, the lid was loose-fitting and really pointless, and the flimsy bin leaked coffee grounds when grinding. This is a terrible product.

"Buy a DIFFERENT Grinder", At first we loved the convenience of this grinder. Then grinds started pouring out the back (from the hole for the electrical cord) all over the counter. When we opened it up to inspect, we saw how badly it is designed. Grinds were all over the electrical wires and every nook and cranny. There doesn't appear to be any damage...it is just constructed poorly and can't be fixed. Now it is in the garbage and we're looking for another one (a different brand this time).
