MELITTA 8-OUNCE BURR GRINDER – MEBG8B Reviews
Piece of crap
I was looking for a larger coffee grinder and read that a burr grinder was the way to go. I bought this because after researching all the options, It appeared that any burr grinder in an affordable price range didn’t get very good reviews. However someone gave a suggestion on how you could adjust it and make it better. It must have been a Melitta representative that wrote it because I’ve been adjusting and re-adjusting for an hour and All I’m getting is chunks. It doesn’t matter what setting you have it on. My little ten year old mill grinder does a much better job. The worst part is and BUYER BEWARE! I thought I could return it. But I failed to read the fine print and now have realized, that Amazon does not support a “completely satisfied” return policy. They will only accept returns unused and unopened. So why would you return something before trying it out to find out if you liked it? Consequently, learning from my mistakes, I don’t think I will be shopping on Amazon anymore. I want to be able to return things that are crap, such as this Melitta Burr Coffee grinder that doesn’t work.
I’m cheap, what can I say?
I bought this grinder on sale at a kitchen outlet store for $19.99. ‘Know what you get for $19.99? A $19.99 burr grinder! ‘Nough said!
Don’t expect any customer service from Melitta
Don’t expect any customer service from Melitta. Burr mills are for grinding coffee very fine (espresso) to coarse. This one will not grind fine enough for espresso. I contacted Melitta and they referred me to the people that manufacture this product for them. Was put on hold for 22 minutes and then was told that some burr mills do not grind fine enough for espresso. They were unwilling to do anything. Called Melitta back and was basically told that I am stuck with it. They should not be able to label this as a burr mill. Another consumer ripoff by a company that does not care after the sale.
Junk
Doesn’t grind fine enough for espresso. Messy. “8 cup” button doesn’t work.
ABSOLUTELY THE WORST APPLIANCE I’VE EVER BOUGHT!
I bought this “burr coffee grinder, because it was around $34. When it ground up the coffee into pieces and would not work properly, I should have promptly returned it. I didn’t. That was my second mistake!
After reading on this site about a way to deviate or make this grinder produce a finer coffee, I spent forever, taking the appliance apart and moving the blades closer together.
This made it acceptable only after running each batch through twice, but it was always the biggest mess to deal to clean up and deal with.
It broke after a few months, and I have just bought a Mr. Coffee Coffee Grinder at Wal-Mart that seems to work for my needs.
In the past I have had a $20 Krups or Braun, and this $20 Mr. Coffee (not a burr grinder) has fine, medium, and coarse settings. It is less messy than the Melitta by far and a little neater than the previous Krups or Braun that I had until it broke.
I don’t normally write reviews, but read other reviews religiously. Just wanted to warn future consumers of this item that should be discontinued.
