I just need a new carafe that will fit on the machine. I’ve dealt with the broken latch, replaced the filter basket housing (the locking toggles will break off if you drop it while cleaning) but now am told the original equipment supplier making the carafe has gone out of business. Can anyone find anything that will work?

I’ve found that JB Weld (in Home Depot) works out real well in fixing the tears in the screens since they are no longer available.

You won’t believe what I found yesterday, for all the Melitta Grind and Brew fans. Go to Walmart they are marketing Better Homes and Gardens Grind and Brew. It is the exact same coffee pot just in a different packaging.

i wrote them and begged to bring the Mill and Brew back. I got a Cuisinart after my melitta latch broke for the second time and i hate it! ton of parts to clean . Melitta was simply better. Hope they bring one back

Just spoke with Melitta parts. They have the grinder basket for $13.95 (price includes shipping). NO carafes though. They told me the universal replacement carafe would not fit. Anyone have any luck finding a carafe that will work?

I’ve had this coffee maker for many years and wouldn’t trade it for anything. I had the same problem with the latch braking and called Melita’s customer service on their website and they send me a replacement free of charge and received it in the mail within 3 days

I received a Melitta Mill and Brew from my mother. I THINK the heating element went out, but not completely sure. The pot is in great condition, as well as the unit itself (except for the heating element, I guess). Would like to get it to someone who needs parts. If interested, please contact me at cathycooks35601@yahoo.com

I was wondering if anyone had the Mill and Brew Assembly this is the outer part that holds the filter and has the check valve (lock button) on the end to stop the brewing while pouring a cup. This is for the Mill & Brew ME1MSB.
Thanks!

ok ok I take it all back, LOL. I couldn’t give up searching after I posted about my failed attempts! I kept looking and found another blog of another mill and brew lover who had just gotten a new filter basket in October 2010. He got it through melitta themselves! Who would have thought to call the actual company?!? LOL, well when they list alternate numbers to call and don’t have the parts listed on their website I never considered calling them direct either! So they will only allow you to purchase 2 filter baskets but considering how long the first one lasted I think we’ll be ok- maybe I’ll call back in a few months and see if I can stock up again ;) haha. Their number is 1-888-melitta (1-888-635-4882). The price is completely reasonable too- about $7 plus shipping, I got two baskets with shipping for about $20. Absolutely worth it to keep using this fantastic coffeemaker! Here is the website of the other blog that I found incase you’d like to add it to your favorites too incase of any changes in the future that this guy may update us with! http://www.squidoo.com/melitta-mill-and-brew
Happy brewing to all of you!!

I am heartbroken! After much much much searching I found this plethora of melitta lovers all in agreeance that this coffeemaker should never have been discontinued and I found so many helpful suggestions and numbers to call. After finally getting ahold of someone (currently salton and applica merged and the number to reach them is 1-800-233-9054 or you can search for parts on http://estore.fox-international.com/) I explained that I was in need of a new filter basket for my coffeemaker and did not see it listed on the fox international website. She was very helpful and gave me the order number for the basket but said it appeared to be no longer available and gave me another number within the company to call and verify. After sitting on hold for over half an hour a nice guy named Matt confirmed the worst for me that there were no more filter baskets available for the mill and brew and unless I can find a nice soul selling on online somewhere I’m basically out of luck! :( Thanks for all your help mill and brew lovers and if any of you happens to find a filter basket or a way to get them in the future please let me know!!!
